## About WordPress MCP Adapter
MCP Adapter is part of WordPress's AI Building Blocks initiative. It converts abilities registered through the WordPress Abilities API into MCP tools, resources and prompts, supports HTTP and stdio transports, and can run several MCP servers with their own abilities and handlers. Error handling and observability are pluggable.
