## Description

This plugin extends the WordPress AI Client to support **any AI service or server
that uses the standard chat completions API format** (`/v1/chat/completions` and`/
v1/models` endpoints).

**Supported services include:**

 * **Ollama** – Run open-source models (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, etc.) locally on 
   your own hardware.
 * **LM Studio** – Desktop application for local LLM inference with a one-click 
   server.
 * **OpenRouter** – Unified API providing access to 100+ models from multiple providers.
 * **vLLM** – High-throughput inference server for production deployments.
 * **LocalAI** – Drop-in replacement for running models locally.
 * **text-generation-webui** – Popular web UI with API server mode.
 * **Any compatible endpoint** – Works with any server implementing the standard
   format.

**Requirements:**

 * **WordPress 7.0+** – The AI Client SDK is included in core. This plugin works
   on its own without any additional dependencies.
 * **WordPress 6.9** – Also supported when the Gutenberg plugin (23.0+) is active,
   which provides the AI Client SDK.

**Why it matters:**

Other AI-powered plugins that use the WordPress AI Client (such as AI Experiments)
can automatically discover and use any model you connect through this plugin. Configure
your endpoint once and every AI feature on your site can use it.

**How it works:**

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to **Settings > Connectors** and configure the connector with your endpoint 
    URL (e.g. `http://localhost:11434/v1` for Ollama).
 3. Optionally provide an API key for services that require authentication.
 4. The plugin registers a provider with the WordPress AI Client and dynamically discovers
    all available models from your endpoint.

The plugin also handles practical concerns like extended HTTP timeouts for slow 
local inference and non-standard port support.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-ai-connector-compatible-
    endpoints/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > Connectors** and configure the connector.
 4. Optionally enter an API key if your endpoint requires one.

## FAQ

### What endpoints are compatible?

Any AI inference server that implements the standard `/v1/chat/completions` and `/
v1/models` endpoints. This includes Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, LocalAI, text-generation-
webui, and many cloud services.

### Do I need an API key?

It depends on your endpoint. Local servers like Ollama and LM Studio typically do
not require a key. Cloud services like OpenRouter require one. Leave the API Key
field blank for servers that do not need authentication.

### What models will be available?

The plugin automatically queries your endpoint’s `/models` resource and registers
every model it finds. Whatever models your server offers will appear in the WordPress
AI Client.

### Does this work on WordPress 7.0 without the AI Experiments plugin?

Yes. WordPress 7.0 ships the AI Client SDK in core, so this connector plugin works
on its own. You only need the AI Experiments plugin if you want the experimental
AI features it provides (excerpt generation, summarization, etc.).

### Can I use this on WordPress 6.9?

Yes, provided the Gutenberg plugin (version 23.0 or later) is active. Gutenberg 
ships the AI Client SDK that this connector extends. If the SDK is not present, 
the connector loads safely as a no-op and exposes no provider until the SDK becomes
available.

## Changelog

#### 2.1.0 – Released on 2026-05-15

 * New: Provider preset picker — a searchable combobox below the Endpoint URL field
   lists ~110 known OpenAI-compatible AI providers (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenRouter,
   Groq, Together, Fireworks, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, Cerebras, Cohere, Perplexity,
   OpenAI, Gemini via OpenAI-compat, and many more). Selecting a preset fills the
   Endpoint URL automatically and sets the Name field when blank, dramatically reducing
   setup friction.
 * Improved: Lowered minimum WordPress requirement to 6.9 (with the Gutenberg plugin
   23.0+ providing the AI Client SDK). The plugin loads safely as a no-op until 
   the SDK becomes available — via WordPress 7.0+ core or any sibling plugin that
   bundles `wordpress/php-ai-client`.
 * Fix: Connectors settings page now shows a single canonical card for this plugin
   instead of one auto-discovered card per registered SDK provider, restoring the
   intended multi-provider management UI.
 * Fix: Multi-provider model listing now returns each provider’s own models. Previously
   every OpenAI-compatible provider in a multi-provider setup showed the same list(
   the primary provider’s). Callers can pass a `provider_id` request param to resolve
   the correct per-provider endpoint and API key, and the SDK model-directory cache
   key is now scoped per endpoint URL so cached model lists no longer collide across
   providers.
 * Fix: Defer SDK-dependent class loading to `plugins_loaded:5` so SDKs registered
   by alphabetically-later plugins (e.g. companion AI agent plugins on WP 6.9) are
   detected. Previously the SDK guard ran at file-include time, before later plugins
   had a chance to register their autoloader.

#### 2.0.0 – Released on 2026-04-24

 * New: Multi-provider support — configure multiple AI endpoints and route requests
   with automatic fallback across providers.
 * Fix: Multi-provider SDK integration with correct provider IDs, registration URLs,
   and HTTP filter scoping per provider.
 * Fix: New provider card now auto-expands on add; script cache busting on plugin
   update.
 * Fix: Dynamic provider class namespace for eval() and auto-expand behaviour for
   newly added providers.
 * Fix: Uses stable Card/CardBody/CardHeader/CardDivider components (no longer experimental)
   for WordPress 6.9+ compatibility.
 * Fix: Replaced undefined DragHandle with unicode grip icon for provider drag-to-
   reorder.
 * Fix: Eliminated blocking HTTP request that fired on every page load.
 * Improved: GitHub Actions workflows upgraded to Node.js 24.

#### 1.2.0 – Released on 2026-04-09

 * New: Improved WordPress.org discoverability with updated tags, plugin icon, banner,
   and screenshots.
 * Fix: Updated plugin for WordPress 7.0 RC2 compatibility.
 * Fix: Re-assert registerConnector() call across multiple ticks so WP core auto-
   register cannot clobber the custom connector card.
 * Improved: Added wp-cli.yml for local development environment.

#### 1.1.0 – Released on 2026-04-01

 * Improved: Renamed plugin to “Ultimate AI Connector for Compatible Endpoints” 
   for clarity and trademark compliance.
 * Fix: Resolved namespace declaration order that could cause fatal errors on activation.
 * Fix: Corrected CI failures related to PHP 8.2 compatibility and SDK availability
   guard.
 * Fix: Corrected plugin slug references in E2E tests.
 * Improved: Added PHPUnit, Cypress E2E, and wp-env test infrastructure with GitHub
   Actions CI.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
 * Provider registration with the WordPress AI Client.
 * Settings page for endpoint URL and optional API key.
 * Dynamic model discovery from any compatible endpoint.
 * Extended HTTP timeout support for local inference servers.
 * Non-standard port support (e.g. Ollama on 11434, LM Studio on 1234).
