Overview

AI-generated overview

Queries the WordPress.org plugin directory for replaceable plugin opportunities — abandoned, low-rated or poorly supported plugins — via wpgoldmine.io.

What you can do
  • List curated opportunity presets such as abandoned plugins, low-rated popular plugins or beatable niches
  • Find ranked, capped plugin opportunities filtered by preset, WordPress.org tag, ecosystem, install bounds and maximum rating
  • Get an opportunity snapshot for a single plugin by slug, including installs, rating, last update, support resolution and opportunity, abandonment and monetization scores
When to use it
Useful when you are scouting WordPress or WooCommerce niches for plugins worth rebuilding or replacing, or want to compare how weak a specific plugin's position is before committing to a product idea.
Requirements
Runs locally as an npm package via npx, so Node.js is needed. Queries are handled server-side by wpgoldmine.io, so network access is required. An optional WP Goldmine account token in WPGOLDMINE_API_KEY raises limits and unlocks extra fields; WPGOLDMINE_API_BASE can override the API base. Desktop MCP clients only.
Before you install
The optional WPGOLDMINE_API_KEY is a paid-account token stored in the client config; without it results are capped to a free tier. Queries and filters are sent to the third-party wpgoldmine.io service. The server only reads directory data and does not modify anything.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Wpgoldmine Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

wpgoldmine-mcp

An MCP server for finding WordPress plugin opportunities — large, established plugins weakened by abandonment, low ratings, or poor support, i.e. plugins you could realistically replace or out-build. It lets AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) query the WordPress.org plugin directory through the lens of "what's a takeable market here?"

Powered by wpgoldmine.io. All querying runs server-side, so no local database or scraping is required.

Install / run

jsonc
// Claude Desktop / any MCP client config{  "mcpServers": {    "wpgoldmine": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "wpgoldmine-mcp"]    }  }}

Tools

list_opportunity_presets

Lists the curated opportunity angles you can pass as preset (e.g. abandoned-plugins, low-rated-popular, beatable-niche, unsupported-plugins, high-opportunity, newest-opportunities).

find_plugin_opportunities

Returns a ranked, capped list of plugin opportunities.

ParamTypeDescription
presetstring (optional)A preset key. Composes with tag.
tagstring (optional)Narrow to a niche by WordPress.org tag, e.g. seo, forms, backup.
ecosystemwordpress | woocommerce (optional)Defaults to wordpress.
min_installs / max_installsnumber (optional)Active-install bounds.
max_ratingnumber (optional)Max rating on a 0–100 scale (lower = more dissatisfied users).

get_plugin

Opportunity snapshot for one plugin by slug: installs, rating, last-updated, support resolution, and opportunity / abandonment / monetization scores.

Example agent uses: "Find abandoned WordPress plugins in the forms niche I could rebuild," "Which popular SEO plugins have the worst ratings?", "Give me the opportunity score for wp-super-cache."

Config

  • WPGOLDMINE_API_KEY — optional. A WP Goldmine account API token (from your account settings) raises the result limit and unlocks extra fields. Without it, the server uses the free, capped tier.
  • WPGOLDMINE_API_BASE — override the API base (default https://wpgoldmine.io).

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
