Wpgoldmine tools (3)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
find_plugin_opportunitiesFind WordPress (or WooCommerce) plugins that are commercial opportunities — large, established user bases paired with abandonment, low ratings, or poor support, i.e. plugins you could realistically replace or out-build. Use a `preset` for a curated angle, and/or narrow by `tag` (niche), install range, and max rating. Returns a ranked, capped list with opportunity scores. Powered by wpgoldmine.io.
get_pluginGet the opportunity snapshot for one plugin by its WordPress.org slug: installs, rating, last-updated, support resolution, and opportunity/abandonment/monetization scores. Powered by wpgoldmine.io.
list_opportunity_presetsList the named opportunity presets (e.g. abandoned-plugins, low-rated-popular, beatable-niche) you can pass to find_plugin_opportunities. Each preset is a curated query over the WordPress.org plugin directory for commercially takeable plugins. Powered by wpgoldmine.io.

What the publisher says
From the Wpgoldmine repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
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.
