## Description

MCP Tracker is an admin-only WordPress plugin designed to monitor and log MCP (Model
Context Protocol) requests made to the Abilities API on your WordPress site.
 If
you are using the Abilities API to power AI-driven tools or MCP-based integrations,
MCP Tracker gives you complete visibility into how those tools interact with your
REST endpoints — without modifying or interfering with request flow. The plugin 
automatically detects MCP requests (identified via the `Mcp-Session-Id` header),
records detailed request and response data, and presents everything in a structured,
filterable interface inside WordPress Admin. Whether you’re debugging Abilities 
API integrations, auditing MCP tool usage, or analyzing response behavior, MCP Tracker
provides the observability layer you need.

#### Features

 * **Automatic MCP Detection**
    Identifies MCP requests related to Abilities API
   using the `Mcp-Session-Id` header.
 * **Comprehensive Logging**
    Logs route, method, headers, request payload, response
   status, and response body.
 * **User Attribution**
    Displays which WordPress user (or guest) initiated the 
   MCP request.
 * **Advanced Filtering**
    Filter logs by date range, tool name, and user for targeted
   analysis.
 * **Formatted JSON Inspection**
    View complete request and response data in a structured
   format.
 * **Privacy Focused**
    All logs remain stored in your WordPress database. No external
   transmission or telemetry.
 * **Performance Optimized**
    Efficient logging using native WordPress REST hooks
   and optimized queries.

#### Use Cases

 * Debug Abilities API integrations
 * Monitor MCP-based AI tool usage
 * Analyze REST response patterns
 * Audit MCP activity on production sites
 * Investigate failed or unexpected tool executions

#### Technical Details

 * Uses WordPress REST API hooks for non-intrusive logging
 * Custom indexed database table for efficient storage
 * Admin-only access with capability checks
 * Nonce verification for secure actions
 * Prepared SQL statements for database safety
 * Self-healing table creation on activation

## FAQ

### What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol for communication between AI models and
external tools or services. This plugin helps you monitor MCP-related requests to
your WordPress site.

### Does this plugin modify REST requests?

No. MCP Tracker only logs requests for monitoring purposes. It does not modify, 
block, or alter any REST API requests or responses.

### Where is the data stored?

All logged data is stored in a custom database table in your WordPress database.
No data is sent to external services.

### Will this slow down my site?

No. The plugin uses efficient WordPress hooks and database queries with minimal 
performance impact. Logging only occurs for MCP requests (identified by the `Mcp-
Session-Id` header).

### Can I delete old logs?

Currently, logs are stored indefinitely. You can manually clear the database table
if needed. Future versions may include automatic cleanup options.

### Who can access the MCP Tracker interface?

Only users with the `manage_options` capability (typically administrators) can access
the MCP Tracker admin interface.
