It provides standardized API key management, provider discovery, and an admin UI for configuring AI services. Three built-in connectors (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI) are included. Plugin developers can auto-discover providers via the WP AI Client registry or manually register connectors using the wp_connectors_init action. The API exposes public functions (wp_get_connector, wp_get_connectors, wp_is_connector_registered) and a WP_Connector_Registry class. API keys can be sourced from environment variables, PHP constants, or the database. Future releases plan to expand authentication methods, lift the ai_provider type restriction, and add a JavaScript registration API for custom connector UIs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
