Abilities API and MCP Server Demos

[jonathanbossenger]

If anyone is looking for demo examples of registering Abilities or using the MCP adapter, I recently updated my WCUS wp-mcp-server-demo repository:

• wp-mcp-server-demo now just registers the default MCP server from the MCP Adapter, and a custom MCP server.
• The custom MCP server converts the Abilities registered in a separate wp-abilities-api-demo plugin. This plugin registers the Abilities using the PHP API, and includes an admin page which executes the Abilities using the JavaScript client

I separated these out so that it's possible to either just test abilities, or the mcp adapter on their own, or install both to see it all working together.

I still need to create some Abilities are are automatically converted into MCP tools, resources, and prompts on the default MCP server, and add some more example implementations (for example registering an Ability using JavaScript).

@karmatosed I wonder if there's a good overlap of what @jonathanbossenger built here and your Abilities Explorer wherein we could pull in the MCP server and adapter registration and any useful admin representation to expose this in the AI Experiments plugin?

[karmatosed]

I think so @jeffpaul. Perhaps add that once we have the core functionality in.

Happy to help shape and get this shipped into the AI Experiments plugin. Ultimately my goal with these demos is to exist merely as a stop gap until the official AI Experiements plugin is launched 😄

@jonathanbossenger if you're able to help with a review/test on #63, then that gets us one step closer to getting that into AI Experiments and can then look at how best to pull in the fun things you've built.
