RockScout AI is a free WordPress plugin that tracks every change after handoff, checks site health, and lets your client ask AI what happened — so you stop doing forensics.
Free & open source · GPLv2 · WP 6.9+ · PHP 7.4+
Everyone solves this with contracts and hourly rates. Nobody solves it with a tool.
Something breaks. They call you. You have no idea what they changed or when.
Small edits accumulate. Nobody tracks them. Then suddenly nothing looks right.
Compatibility breaks silently. The client notices weeks later — and blames you.
You spend more time figuring out what happened than actually fixing it.
RockScout AI runs in the background with zero effort from you or your client.
Logs logins, plugin updates, page edits, theme changes — automatically.
Plugin versions, PHP errors, conflicts, update status — a full snapshot.
AI chat widget in WP dashboard explains what happened. Plain language.
Full activity log when the client calls. No more guessing.
No account needed. No vendor lock-in. Bring your own API key and go.
Tracks plugin updates, post edits, logins, theme changes, option changes. 30-day retention with auto-cleanup.
WP version, PHP, active plugins, available updates, error log, database status — one snapshot.
Client asks "why does my site look different?" — AI answers with actual site context. In the WP Dashboard.
Works with your OpenAI or Anthropic API key. You control the cost. No middleman.
Registers abilities for external AI agents. Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients can query your site.
Nonces, capability checks, encrypted API keys, no PII in logs. WordPress.org repo standards.
Try without a key, or plug in your own API key for full AI features.
An agency tier with white-label branding, escalation, and multi-site dashboard is planned for a future release.
Nobody else combines activity tracking, WP diagnostics, and a client-facing AI chat in one free plugin.
