WordPress has released three official AI provider plugins for Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI on WordPress.org. The plugins integrate these AI services directly with the WordPress PHP AI client SDK and are available now for site owners and developers worldwide.
WordPress AI plugins for Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI
The new plugins are titled AI Provider for Anthropic, AI Provider for Google, and AI Provider for OpenAI. Each plugin registers its respective AI service as a provider within the PHP AI Client SDK, giving WordPress a consistent interface across vendors. All three support text generation, along with additional capabilities based on each vendor's models.
The OpenAI plugin supports dynamic discovery of available models from the OpenAI API. It lists GPT models for text generation, DALL-E and GPT Image models for image generation, and TTS models for text-to-speech. Key features include:
- Automatic provider registration
- Function calling support
- Image generation with DALL-E models
- Text generation with GPT models
- Web search support
The Anthropic plugin integrates Claude models for text generation. It includes automatic provider registration, along with support for extended thinking and function calling features.

The Google plugin connects WordPress to Gemini and Imagen models through the Google AI APIs. It supports both text and image generation, plus function calling for structured outputs.
- Automatic provider registration
- Function calling support
- Image generation with Imagen models
- Text generation with Gemini models
Background context on WordPress PHP AI Client SDK
The PHP AI Client SDK supports these integrations by providing shared infrastructure for WordPress plugins and other PHP projects. According to the official documentation for the PHP AI client, it offers a unified interface that works across multiple AI providers. The SDK supports operations from simple text generation to multimodal tasks, streaming responses, and long-running jobs.
Developers specify the AI capabilities their plugins require, while users manage provider credentials in a single settings location. Those credentials then work automatically across all compatible plugins on a site using the SDK.
To use the new AI provider plugins, sites must run PHP 7.4 or higher and have valid API keys. WordPress 6.9 users need to install the SDK separately from the PHP AI Client SDK GitHub repository. WordPress 7.0, scheduled for early April, will ship with the SDK integrated by default.
