Pairly Connect

Description

Pairly Connect links this WordPress site to your Pairly workspace. Once connected, you and the AI workers in Pairly can draft, schedule and publish posts on this site, without copying anything across by hand.

WordPress stays the source of truth. Posts are stored here as normal WordPress posts, so anything you edit in WordPress is what Pairly sees next.

What Pairly can do on your site

• Read your posts, including drafts
• Create and edit drafts
• Publish, schedule and unpublish posts
• Add the images a post uses to your Media Library, and set featured images
• Set SEO titles, descriptions and social previews. They are written to Yoast SEO or Rank Math when either is active.

What Pairly cannot do

Pairly cannot install or change plugins or themes, see or manage users, change site settings, or delete posts. The plugin exposes only its own post tools; nothing else on your site is reachable through the connection.

How the connection works

• An administrator approves the connection on a WordPress screen, much like signing in with Google. Pairly never sees your WordPress password.
• The connection uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Access tokens expire after an hour, and they are stored only as hashes.
• Pairly acts with the permissions of the administrator who approved it, and only through this plugin’s endpoint. A Pairly token cannot be used anywhere else on your site’s REST API.
• You can disconnect at any time from Settings → Pairly Connect. Access ends immediately.

Requirements

• The site must be served over HTTPS and reachable from the internet.
• WordPress must be installed at the root of its domain (example.com, not example.com/blog).
• Your web server must pass /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server through to WordPress. Almost every host does; the settings page checks it for you.

External services

This plugin connects your site to Pairly, a service run by Pairly. It is needed so your Pairly workspace can manage posts on this site.

• When you click “Connect to Pairly”, your browser opens the Pairly app (https://app.pairlyhq.com), with your site’s address in the link, so Pairly can start the connection.
• When you approve the connection, Pairly registers itself with your site and receives an access token. From then on, Pairly’s servers (https://api.pairlyhq.com) call this site’s endpoint (/wp-json/pairly/v1/mcp) to read and write posts. They send and receive post content, SEO fields and tags. Your site does not send data to Pairly on its own; it only answers Pairly’s requests.
• When Pairly publishes a post that has images, your site downloads those images from Pairly’s media storage into your Media Library.

The plugin sends no analytics or tracking data, and makes no requests while it is not connected, apart from checking its own address on the settings page.
