wpgoldmine-mcp
An MCP server for finding WordPress plugin opportunities — large, established plugins weakened by abandonment, low ratings, or poor support, i.e. plugins you could realistically replace or out-build. It lets AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) query the WordPress.org plugin directory through the lens of "what's a takeable market here?"
Powered by wpgoldmine.io. All querying runs server-side, so no local database or scraping is required.
