## FAQ

### What does wp-devdocs-mcp do for AI coding assistants?

It indexes hooks, block registrations, JS APIs, and docs from WordPress source so the assistant can search and validate names before writing code.

### How do I install wp-devdocs-mcp?

Install it globally with npm or run it directly with npx.

### Can I index my private or local WordPress plugins?

Yes. Use the github-private type with a token stored in an environment variable, or point at a local folder with the local-folder type.

### Which WordPress sources can I add as presets?

Presets include wp-core, gutenberg-source, gutenberg-docs, woocommerce, plugin-handbook, rest-api-handbook, wp-cli-handbook, admin-handbook, and theme-json.

### How does the AI confirm a hook name is real?

The validate_hook tool does an exact-match check and returns VALID, NOT_FOUND with suggestions, or REMOVED for deprecated hooks.
