Bishop81/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.**

get_plugin
Opportunity snapshot for one plugin by slug: installs, rating, last-updated, support resolution, and
opportunity / abandonment / monetization scores.

popular SEO plugins have the worst ratings?", "Give me the opportunity score for wp-super-cache."

the result limit and unlocks extra fields. Without it, the server uses the free, capped tier.
