AI Engine – The Chatbot, AI Framework & MCP for WordPress

Journal des modifications

3.6.7 (2026/07/31)

• Add: Workspace is officially launched on iOS.
• Update: OpenAI pricing for GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna following the July 30 cut, and corrected o3 which was priced 7.5x too high.
• Update: Removed the leftover mcp.js relay and its documentation, and corrected the MCP header comment that still mentioned SSE and OAuth.
• Add: getDiscussion() to the PHP API, to read a stored discussion without using $mwai_core.

3.6.6 (2026/07/30)

• Update: Minimum PHP version is now 8.1, declared in the plugin header so WordPress blocks activation on older versions.
• Fix: Push All no longer exhausts the memory limit on large sites; post content is now checked in chunks.
• Fix: Long Japanese and Chinese posts no longer produce empty content, which left their embeddings stale.
• Fix: Hardened the REST endpoints against client-supplied file paths and API keys, corrected the MCP OAuth route match and guest session cookie, and stopped the chatbot key reaching Editors.
• Fix: The mwai_mcp_callback filter now receives five arguments from both the Workspace and the MCP endpoint.
• Add: CSV and JSON export for the Query and MCP logs, honouring the active filters and sort.
• Fix: Chatbot input is no longer hidden behind the mobile keyboard in fullscreen, and shortcuts are now chips that don’t inherit the site’s button styles.

3.6.5 (2026/07/28)

• Add: Elapsed time counter on the AI Forms submit button, matching the chatbot.
• Add: Note in the Sync panel that the Sync filters are shared by all environments.
• Fix: Three security issues reported by WPScan (key disclosure to editors, guessable guest sessions, audio transcription file read).
• Fix: Streaming requests now respect MWAI_SSL_VERIFY and verify TLS certificates (reported by Mohammed Abd Alrahman).
• Fix: Recurring tasks no longer stay parked after repeated failures, so discussions and logs cleanups run again.
• Fix: Administrator-equivalent accounts (custom roles with manage_options) are no longer refused at the MCP OAuth consent screen.
• Fix: A custom JavaScript filter that crashes no longer breaks the chatbot, and raw JavaScript errors are no longer shown to visitors.
• Fix: The embeddings environment Type field no longer shows « Select » for the Internal (WordPress DB) environment.
• Fix: The Web Search button now appears in the Workspace composer when pinned.
• Update: Push All now respects the Sync category and language filters, so it no longer seeds posts Sync would not maintain.
• Update: Workspace is now available to everyone; Knowledge, MCP Servers and Functions stay Pro.
• Update: Removed the unused module_addons and module_blocks option defaults.

3.6.3 (2026/07/27)

• Add: Workspace: a full-screen chat surface in wp-admin, with a model picker across all your environments, conversation history, folders, a prompt library, per-user themes, and edit-and-branch on any message. Available in the Pro, coming later in the Free.
• Add: The Workspace can generate and edit images, search the web with each provider’s own search tool (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter), and work on the site itself through the MCP tools, with an approval dialog before any site-changing tool runs.
• Add: QR-code pairing for the Workspace mobile companion app, with a revocable Application Password.
• Add: Internal (WordPress DB) vector environment that stores embeddings locally, now the default for new installs.
• Add: Discussions now show the tool calls and their parameters alongside the embeddings usage, and can be searched server-side by content and title.
• Add: Claude Opus 5.
• Fix: Public chat and form endpoints no longer trust client-supplied models, environments, instructions or messages, and internal errors are hidden from visitors; the stateful-response restore is now owner-scoped, so another user’s chat ID can no longer resume their conversation.
• Fix: Content-aware chatbots no longer inject a post the visitor cannot read, so a client-supplied context ID can no longer leak draft or private content.
• Fix: Chatbot error and notice messages are sanitized before being rendered as HTML, and configuration errors are shown to editors only instead of being printed publicly.
• Fix: Function calling is more reliable: Claude no longer re-calls tools with the previous message’s parameters, multi-round calls on stateless providers keep their feedback blocks instead of clearing them each round, and the Gemini 2.x models work again.
• Fix: Google model names and capability detection, so image, thinking and web-search models are recognised and preview variants are no longer ambiguous.
• Fix: OVH replies arriving empty, caused by an oversized max_tokens and a hijacked catalog fetch.
• Fix: Embeddings re-sync destroying a vector when the new content comes back empty, and guest file listing crashing with a 500.
• Fix: The usage-limit lock never firing on streaming chatbots, and the Discussions table spinning forever when opened in a background tab.
• Update: MCP server hardening: a failing tool now returns a readable error instead of killing the server for the client, and the tools list is capped at 500 results.
• Update: Settings Reset now asks you to type the site host and says plainly that it deletes the API keys, environments, chatbots and themes; more native browser dialogs were replaced with NekoModal across Discussions, Query Logs, Knowledge, Templates and Limits.

3.6.2 (2026/07/16)

• Fix: Fixed block editor paragraph spacing broken by the AI Copilot handler wrapper.
• Add: Note filtering support for the wp_get_comments MCP tool, allowing agents to read WordPress 6.9 editor Notes.
• Fix: Fixed the Anthropic engine dropping conversation history on function-call follow-up requests.
• Fix: Fixed duplicate embedding vectors for the same reference and environment, which left embeddings stuck at pending after a sync.

3.6.1 (2026/07/13)

• Fix: MCP user tools not enforcing proper capabilities, allowing Multisite site administrators to edit users beyond their reach. Hotfix. (Thanks to Charles Vosburgh for reporting.)
• Fix: MCP read tools corrupting block-JSON Unicode escapes by double-unslashing database content.
• Update: Native browser dialogs (alert/confirm/prompt) are now forbidden in code; NekoModal is used instead.

3.6.0 (2026/07/10)

• Add: GPT-5.6 family (Sol, Terra, and Luna) to OpenAI models, with Sol marked as the latest.
• Fix: Gemini image models not being selectable when their ID lacks a -preview suffix.
• Fix: MCP media upload tool crashing on download errors and rejecting extensionless image URLs.

3.5.9 (2026/07/06)

• Fix: MCP post meta tools double-serializing array values, which stored nested arrays as strings.
• Fix: MCP wp_create_post and wp_update_post tools stripping shortcodes, email HTML, and inline CSS for admin-authorized callers.
• Fix: Chatbot theme styles loading outside AI Engine’s admin screens, which caused Gutenberg editor iframe warnings.
• Fix: simpleJsonQuery failing on Anthropic and Google environments by no longer forcing an OpenAI fallback model, with a clearer error message.
• Fix: Discussions and Queries timestamps now display in the site’s configured timezone instead of the browser’s.
• Fix: MCP Functions settings crashing when tools were registered due to the list being returned as an object instead of an array.
• Fix: OpenAI Vector Store Pull All failing with a limit error by paginating the file list.
• Update: WordPress MCP tools are now enabled by default.

3.5.8 (2026/07/03)

• Fix: Code blocks now display correctly in the Timeless and Foundation chatbot themes (was using proportional font instead of monospace).
• Fix: Sonnet 5 breaking with « each thinking block must contain thinking » when streaming with function calling.
• Fix: MacOS chatbot container showing empty notches in the corners due to double-rounded borders.
• Update: Reorganized the admin UI — Modules tab now leads with « Chatbots & Knowledge » and « MCP & Agents », and Settings tabs were reordered to match.
• Update: Moved the Event Logs option from Settings → AI to Settings → Chatbot for easier discovery.
• Update: Enlarged the chatbot preview pane in settings (480px → 620px) and polished the ChatGPT theme with monospace code blocks, accent border on focused input, and smoother transitions.
• Update: Refined the Messages chatbot theme with monospace code blocks, readable links in user bubbles, input focus ring, and capped bubble width.
• Add: Gutenberg MCP tools: wp_write_blocks, wp_list_block_patterns, and wp_insert_block_pattern.

• Add: Claude Sonnet 5 model support.
• Fix: Anthropic function-calling loops no longer fail when no explicit max tokens is set.

3.5.6 (2026/06/26)

• Add: Gemini Interactions API engine as the default for Google, with streaming, function calling, and in-chat image generation (classic API kept as a fallback).
• Add: Google Search and Maps grounding as Gemini chatbot tools, plus a setting to fall back to the standard Gemini API.
• Add: MCP server support to Realtime voice chatbots — tools were selectable but previously did nothing — and the model now speaks tool results aloud.
• Add: mwai_mcp_mutate action that fires after any content-mutating MCP tool, letting integrations purge caches, reindex, or audit.
• Add: raw option to the MCP wp_get_option tool to read directly from the database, bypassing object cache and filters.
• Add: author__not_in to MCP wp_get_posts, and a content_format=prose option to wp_get_post/wp_get_post_snapshot that strips block-attribute JSON to reduce token usage.
• Fix: wp_create_post MCP tool no longer corrupts shortcode and HTML content via the markdown parser.
• Fix: MCP log entries mislabeled as OAuth; admin and bearer calls now display correctly.
• Fix: Streaming parallel tool calls leaving a null in the tool_calls array, which broke function calling on strict providers.
• Fix: MCP wp_get_posts, wp_get_media, and wp_get_comments filters by author, user_id, and email were accepted but silently ignored.
• Fix: wp_update_option now decodes JSON-string array values into real arrays before saving, preventing corruption of array options like sticky_posts.

• Update: Enabled function calling for Mistral.
• Update: Uploaded images now fill the message bubble width in the chatbot across all themes.
• Update: MCP post tools now accept ID, post_id, or id interchangeably, and wp_update_post accepts top-level fields with clearer error messages.

• Fix: Realtime instructions now resolve placeholders like {FIRST_NAME} into their values.
• Fix: MCP tools generated from WordPress REST endpoints could break Google Gemini due to enum on non-string types.
• Fix: Changing the type of an AI environment now drops fields from the previous type (endpoint, region, deployments), preventing engines from calling the wrong provider’s endpoint.
• Fix: The « Default AI Environment not configured » warning no longer appears when a Chroma embeddings environment generates its own vectors.
• Fix: The Usage widget on the Dashboard no longer overflows its panel when numbers are wide.
• Fix: Anthropic’s streaming ping keepalive events are now ignored instead of being logged as an unknown stream data type.

3.5.3 (2026/05/28)

• Fix: Filenames with underscores (e.g. Some_File_2026.pdf) were getting partially italicized by the chatbot’s markdown renderer.
