How It Works

The plugin can work in two ways depending on the source:

1. Direct API mode
   You add your own API keys for supported providers and the plugin connects directly to those services.

2. Developer proxy mode (optional, for some stock sources)
   Some stock image searches can work without your own API key through an optional developer-operated proxy service. In that case, the search keywords are sent to the developer proxy, which forwards the request to the relevant image provider and returns the results.

AI image generation services generally require your own API keys.

Typical Use Cases

• Automatically find a featured image for a blog post
• Insert an image after a selected paragraph
• Search stock images directly from the Media Library
• Use the Gutenberg block to manually insert images in content
• Use the Elementor widget to search and display images
• Bulk-process many posts

AI Agent Integration

With WordPress 6.9+, AI agents can interact with this plugin through the WordPress Abilities API and MCP-compatible tools.

Available abilities include:

• allsi/search-image
• allsi/set-featured-image
• allsi/auto-generate-for-post
• allsi/insert-image-in-content
• allsi/generate-ai-image

This allows compatible assistants to help find, generate, and assign images to posts.

Configuration

Configuration depends on the providers you want to use.

Stock image sources

Some stock image providers can work either:

• through the optional developer proxy, or
• through your own API keys, where supported

Using your own API keys may provide direct connections and provider-specific rate limits.

AI image generation sources

AI services generally require your own API keys.

To configure providers:

1. Go to All Sources Images
2. Open the Image Banks tab
3. Add your API keys for the providers you want to use
4. Save the settings

External Services

This plugin connects to external third-party services to search, retrieve, or generate images.

Depending on the provider and feature used, the plugin may send search keywords, prompts, post titles, selected text, or video URLs.

Important

• The plugin can connect either directly to third-party providers or, for some supported stock sources, through an optional developer-operated proxy service.
• The optional proxy is used only for supported stock-source requests.
• AI image generation services generally require your own API keys.
• Please review the terms and privacy policies of each external service before use.

Plugin Developer Service

All Sources Images Proxy (optional)

For some supported stock image sources, the plugin can use an optional proxy service operated by the plugin developer.

When this proxy path is used:

• search keywords are sent to the developer proxy
• the developer proxy forwards the request to the relevant image provider
• the proxy returns the search results to your site

This proxy exists only to perform the remote request to the external provider on behalf of the site.
