WordPress Notes & Article Management

Two-way sync for WordPress 6.9 Notes, smarter article deletion, and continued hardening across the codebase — now at 650 tests across 70 files.

WordPress Notes Module

  • Two-way sync of WordPress 6.9 Notes — pull notes from WordPress, create and update them from ContentMK
  • NotesPanel UI — dedicated panel for viewing and managing notes per article
  • MCP tool integration — query and manage notes from AI tools via the MCP server (now 12 tools total)
  • Migration 010 — new database schema for notes storage with full diagnostic integration

Article Deletion Improvements

  • WordPress Trash integration — when deleting an article linked to a WordPress post, optionally move the WordPress post to Trash at the same time
  • Confirmation dialog with clear indication of what will happen on both sides
  • Sync state cleanup — deletion properly cleans up sync state and changelog entries

Codebase Hardening

AI Integration & MCP Server

Full AI integration across four phases — structured exports, an MCP server for AI-native workflows, per-site access control, and a complete AI service layer.

Claude Code Module

  • 4 export types — JSON and Markdown formats optimized for AI prompt workflows. Export article inventory, health summary, SEO overview, and content gap analysis from Settings → AI Integration → Export for AI. Learn more →
  • Per-site AI access control — toggle which sites are visible to AI tools. Only exposed sites appear in MCP results. Default: no sites exposed (opt-in for token safety)

MCP Server

  • 12 tools + 4 resources exposed via Model Context Protocol — Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools connect directly to query articles, update statuses, add ideas, and run analysis
  • esbuild pipeline for optimized MCP server builds
  • Environment variable override for power users who want all sites exposed

AI Service Layer

  • Multi-provider support — Claude and OpenAI with bring-your-own-key (BYOK) configuration
  • Credit tracking — per-operation cost transparency showing API token usage
  • Foundation for premium AI modules — Pinterest Pin Creator and other AI-powered features build on this service layer
Minor v0.3.0 January 31, 2026

Basic SEO, Backups & Status Page

SEO metadata tracking with automatic WordPress plugin detection, a comprehensive backup system, and a new status page for monitoring everything at a glance.

Basic SEO Module

  • Per-article keyword tracking with target keyword, search volume, and keyword difficulty (0-100). Learn more →
  • WordPress SEO plugin auto-detection — automatically detects Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and AIOSEO during sync. Pulls SEO titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph data, robots directives, and schema markup
  • Schema markup tracking — auto-detection from JSON-LD blocks in article content. Coverage dashboard with per-type breakdown (FAQ, HowTo, Article, Review, Product, Recipe, etc.)
  • SEO completeness indicator — colored badge showing field completion. “Missing SEO data” and “Missing schema” filters in the article list
  • Source tracking — every SEO field shows where its data came from (manual entry, Yoast, SEMrush, etc.). Manual edits always take priority
  • Foundation for premium modules — SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Google Search Console modules enrich this same data layer

Backup System

  • Automatic snapshots before every sync operation — named with timestamps for easy identification
  • Manual snapshots on demand from the Backups page
  • One-click restore with a safety snapshot created automatically before restore
  • Export with automatic WordPress Application Password stripping for security
  • Configurable retention — set maximum snapshot count per site, oldest auto-pruned. Learn more →

  • Diagnostic report export for troubleshooting
Major v0.2.0 January 14, 2026

WordPress Sync & Per-Site Experience

Two-way WordPress sync and a complete redesign of the per-site experience — each site now feels like its own app within ContentMK.

WordPress Sync Engine

  • Full two-way synchronization with WordPress via the REST API — pull articles, tags, categories, and SEO data automatically. Learn more →
  • Encrypted credential storage — WordPress Application Passwords stored securely via Electron safeStorage, never transmitted to our servers
  • Rate-limited batch operations — 300ms pause every 10 requests to keep your hosting provider happy
  • Conflict detection — modified-since comparison between local and WordPress timestamps. Four sync states: Synced, Local Ahead, WP Ahead, and Conflict
  • Field selection — _fields= parameter on all GET requests to minimize API payload
  • Silent batch mode — one summary notification instead of per-item alerts during bulk operations
  • Sync changelog — timeline of all sync changes with per-item revert capability

Per-Site Redesign

  • Each site now has its own Dashboard, Articles, Planning, Sync, Backups, and Settings sections
  • Sidebar switches between “All Sites” overview and per-site hub
  • Module activation is now per-site — enable different modules for different sites

Import Tools Module

  • WordPress REST API import — connect to any WordPress site, pull public or private posts with progress tracking and duplicate detection. Learn more →
  • Sitemap crawl — auto-detects sitemaps from robots.txt and common paths, handles sitemap index files
  • CSV upload — drag-and-drop with fuzzy column header matching, preview before import, duplicate handling
  • All methods share URL-based duplicate detection and import undo
Major v0.1.0 December 31, 2025
