This talk explores WordPress in the Agentic Web Era, and as a possible framework for the agentic web, where open source, plugins, themes, APIs, hooks, filters, documentation, and emerging technologies like the Model Context Protocol, MCP, are shaping the future of AI-powered site-building workflows. It will explain MCP in a practical hands-on and beginner friendly way and help developers, site owners, agencies, educators, and community builders understand how AI agents could connect with WordPress to support real website tasks. The session will also navigate the responsibilities that come with AI-powered websites, including security, privacy, human approval, data access, plugin quality, and trust. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of where WordPress is heading, how to prepare for AI-assisted site building, and how this future can remain open, responsible, human-centered, and useful for real communities.
