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.

Install / run

// Claude Desktop / any MCP client config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wpgoldmine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "wpgoldmine-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

list_opportunity_presets

Lists the curated opportunity angles you can pass as preset (e.g. abandoned-plugins, low-rated-popular, beatable-niche, unsupported-plugins, high-opportunity, newest-opportunities).

find_plugin_opportunities

Returns a ranked, capped list of plugin opportunities.

ParamTypeDescription
presetstring (optional)A preset key. Composes with tag.
tagstring (optional)Narrow to a niche by WordPress.org tag, e.g. seo, forms, backup.
ecosystemwordpress \woocommerce (optional)Defaults to wordpress.
min_installs / max_installsnumber (optional)Active-install bounds.
max_ratingnumber (optional)Max rating on a 0–100 scale (lower = more dissatisfied users).
get_plugin

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

Example agent uses: "Find abandoned WordPress plugins in the forms niche I could rebuild," "Which popular SEO plugins have the worst ratings?", "Give me the opportunity score for wp-super-cache."

Config

  • WPGOLDMINE_API_KEY — optional. A WP Goldmine account API token (from your account settings) raises the result limit and unlocks extra fields. Without it, the server uses the free, capped tier.
  • WPGOLDMINE_API_BASE — override the API base (default https://wpgoldmine.io).
