Security Plugin Status Check

The `audit_wordpress_plugins` tool returns the name, version, author, and status of every plugin installed. You can feed this list into Cascade to immediately cross-reference versions against known vulnerabilities. Cascade doesn't just read the data; it chains actions. Set a goal—like 'Find all outdated plugins in the checkout flow'—and Windsurf figures out the sequence, giving you an actionable report right where you code.

Maintenance Reporting

Need to write a maintenance plan? This MCP provides a clean list of every plugin and its status. You can audit all plugins at once using `audit_wordpress_plugins` to ensure nothing was accidentally left inactive during a migration. It’s perfect for generating pre-release reports. Cascade handles the context switching, pulling the live plugin data into your active task flow without you needing dozens of prompts.

Plugin Inventory and Ownership

Identify who built what. The tool lists every installed plugin along with its author and version number. This makes it easy to track dependencies or figure out which team owns a specific piece of functionality. Use this data source in Windsurf's multi-step process. You can chain the audit results to generate a 'Plugin Ownership Map,' saving you hours of manual database querying.

Absolutely. Since Windsurf's Cascade agent executes multi-step actions, you can build a workflow that first runs the audit and then automatically filters or reports on specific criteria, like finding all inactive plugins.

The server provides the plugin's name, version, author, and whether it’s active or inactive. This metadata is essential for a thorough security sweep because you can spot plugins that haven't been updated (version) or are running unnecessarily (status).

It touches basic plugin metadata, specifically the names, versions, authors, and active status of installed plugins. This is generally non-sensitive operational data.
