Connect your WordPress site to Sprite for automated content management and AI discoverability.

== Description ==

Sprite allows you to connect your WordPress site to [Sprite](https://heysprite.com), enabling automated content management powered by artificial intelligence.

**Features:**

* **Automated Blog Posts** - Sprite can generate and publish blog posts directly to your WordPress site
* **AI Discoverability** - Sprite hosts a UCP and MCP server on your behalf so AI agents can talk to your site directly
* **WooCommerce Support** - Access product information for AI-powered content generation (requires WooCommerce)
* **Secure Authentication** - Shared secret authentication keeps your site secure
* **Standard WordPress API** - Uses the built-in WordPress REST API for maximum compatibility

**How It Works:**

1. Install and activate the plugin
2. Click "Connect to Sprite" in the plugin settings
3. Authorize the connection in your Sprite account
4. Sprite can now interact with your WordPress content via the standard REST API

**Security:**

* All communication uses HTTPS
* Shared secret authentication with constant-time comparison
* Dedicated service user for all operations
* Revocable access at any time

**External Services:**

This plugin connects to the following external services:

* **heysprite.com** - For user authorization during connection setup

This connection only occurs when you explicitly click "Connect to Sprite".
