radar
wp_update_radar_check
Reports what wordpress.org's public support forum says about one plugin release, compared with the releases before it, counted the same way on both sides. It does not answer whether an update is safe: nothing here can see your site, your theme, your premium plugins or your PHP version. `state` is what the evidence supports doing, `signal` is only what was observed: HOLD elevated public signal for this release WAIT above this plugin's own normal, or the window is still open GUARDED_ROLLOUT no elevated public signal — roll out somewhere low-stakes first NOT_ENOUGH_EVIDENCE too little was attributable to judge; a gap here, NOT a finding about the release, and not a reason to reassure anyone The legacy `verdict` field keeps its five strings (known-bad / wait / update-now / too-new / insufficient-data) for clients that already read it. Use it before applying a plugin update, or when someone asks whether a specific version broke anything. Not a security advisory and not a CVE lookup: it reports what other site owners are saying, which is a different question from whether a release is vulnerable. wordpress.org plugins only — premium and paid plugins have no public forum to read, and themes are out of scope. Covers the most-installed plugins; one outside that set returns an error rather than a guess.
wp_update_radar_check_many
Answers: which of this site's plugin updates are risky right now? Prefer this over the single check whenever there is more than one plugin to look at — a whole site's plugin list costs one call here instead of one call each. Same five verdicts as the single check (known-bad, wait, update-now, too-new, insufficient-data), per item and independent: a plugin that is not indexed reports its own error and the rest still answer. Returns a count of each verdict, so the risky ones can be found without reading every row. Up to 25 plugins per call; more than that is reported, not silently cut. `insufficient-data` means this service does not know, which is not the same as safe. Not a security advisory and not a CVE lookup: it reports what other site owners are saying, which is a different question from whether a release is vulnerable. wordpress.org plugins only — premium plugins have no public forum to read, and themes are out of scope.

WP Update Radar — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can WP Update Radar do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: wp_update_radar_check, wp_update_radar_check_many. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is WP Update Radar working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 117 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect WP Update Radar?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does WP Update Radar need an API key?
No. WP Update Radar completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is WP Update Radar?
It answers our handshake in 117 ms on average, which is faster than 82% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
