MCP Abilities - Content Demand for AI client content decisions

When a WordPress search returns no answer, an AI client can treat that visitor question as a concrete editorial signal rather than a vague request for more content.

The signal

Start with the question your site could not answer

Zero-result searches are concrete signs that visitors asked for something the site could not answer. The plugin records that signal as a content-demand candidate and exposes it through MCP abilities, so an AI client can work from a real gap instead of a broad guess about what to publish.

The candidate is a decision input, not an automatic publishing instruction. The WordPress operator decides whether to address the topic in the content plan, defer it, or investigate it further.

Searches are aggregated by normalized term hash. Email-like searches are reduced to their domain, so full email addresses are not stored.

Supported operations

Work with the candidate record

An AI client has two focused operations: one makes the demand visible, and the other changes one selected record.

List candidate records

List the Content Demand candidate records gathered from zero-result site searches. The returned records show the demand behind each term before you decide what to address, defer, or investigate.

Update one candidate

Update one Content Demand candidate when its record needs to change. The operation keeps the change tied to the specific candidate you are working with.

A practical review route

Turn the signal into an editorial choice

Use this as an operator-led review route: the product provides the candidate records and operations, while you own the editorial decision.

01

Inspect the demand

Ask an AI client to list the candidates from zero-result site searches. Review the returned records and identify the topics that deserve attention.

02

Choose the response

Make the editorial call for each candidate you take forward: address it in the content plan, defer it, or investigate it further.

03

Update the record

When a record needs to change, ask the AI client to update that specific candidate through the supported Content Demand operation.

Required foundation

Prepare the MCP candidate surface

These prerequisites provide the WordPress runtime, typed ability registration, and MCP exposure that the Content Demand operations rely on.

Next step
