collection or telemetry occurs.

## FAQ

### Do I need an API key?

For the admin chat interface, yes – an Anthropic or OpenAI API key is required. 
For MCP via Claude Desktop, you only need a Claude account (no API key needed). 
For ChatGPT, you need a ChatGPT account with developer mode enabled.

### Where do I get an API key?

 * **Anthropic**: https://console.anthropic.com/
 * **OpenAI**: https://platform.openai.com/

### Do I need the Abilities API?

Yes. The Abilities API is the official WordPress API for AI. It comes standard with
WordPress 6.9 and is also available as a plugin.

### Is this safe to use?

All capabilities require explicit consent. Abilities use a 7-gate permission system
with rate limits, risk levels, and admin approval. All actions are logged.

### What data is sent to external services?

Chat messages, memory contents, and abilities execution requests are sent to your
selected AI provider. Data is only sent when you actively use the plugin. No telemetry
or usage statistics are collected.

### What is the Memory Tool?

An optional feature that lets AI store persistent notes in the WordPress database
across conversations. Limited to 1MB per entry, 50MB total. Enable in Settings >
Memory.

### What are Abilities?

AI-callable WordPress functions (creating posts, managing users, etc.) that must
be individually authorized. Each ability is controlled by rate limits, risk levels,
and approval requirements.
