AI Provider for Command Code

Description

Adds Command Code as a provider for the WordPress AI Client.
Command Code routes Claude, GPT, Gemini and the top open models through a single API with
OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, so one API key covers every model the
AI plugin can use.

• The model list is fetched live from GET /provider/v1/models, including newly added models.
• Claude models are called on the Anthropic Messages endpoint, everything else on the
  OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint — matching the supported_endpoints field the API
  reports for each model.
• Tool calling, structured output (JSON schema), chat history, stop sequences and multi-candidate
  generation are supported where the model supports them.
• Zero data retention can be requested per request (see below).

Configuration

The API key is read, in order of precedence, from:

1. The COMMANDCODE_API_KEY environment variable
2. The COMMANDCODE_API_KEY PHP constant
3. The connectors_ai_commandcode_api_key option (Settings → Connectors)

All optional settings are environment variables or PHP constants:

• COMMANDCODE_DEFAULT_MODEL — model ID to prefer in pickers and feature filters.
  Default: claude-sonnet-5.
• COMMANDCODE_ZDR — set to 1 to send x-cmd-zdr: 1 and route only through zero-data-retention
  upstreams. Requests fail with a 422 when the chosen model has no ZDR-capable upstream instead of
  silently falling back. Default: off.
• COMMANDCODE_BASE_URL — Provider API base URL.
  Default: https://api.commandcode.ai/provider/v1.
• COMMANDCODE_MODEL_INPUT_MODALITIES — comma-separated list of modalities your models accept.
  Include image (e.g. text,image) for deployments that require vision features. Default: text only.
• COMMANDCODE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT — request timeout in seconds. Default: 120.
• COMMANDCODE_CONNECT_TIMEOUT — connection timeout in seconds. Default: 10.
• COMMANDCODE_STRUCTURED_OUTPUT — how JSON response requests are shaped. One of:
  • json_schema (default) — sends the JSON schema. Use this by default.
  • json_object — asks only for valid JSON, without the schema. Widely supported fallback.
  • none — sends no response_format at all. Use this when a model rejects every form of it.
    If a feature that needs JSON (e.g. Editorial Notes) fails with
    400 … “param”:”response_format”, try json_object.

To influence which models the AI plugin picks for its features, use the standard filters in your own
plugin or theme — this plugin already puts its preferred model first:

add_filter( 'wpai_preferred_text_models', function ( $models ) {
    array_unshift( $models, array( 'commandcode', 'gpt-5.6-luna' ) );
    return $models;
} );<h3>External services</h3>

This plugin connects to the Command Code Provider API, an external service operated by Command Code.
It is required so the WordPress AI Client can route requests to models from your site. Command Code is
a paid service: a plan with API access is needed (the free Go plan has none), and requests are billed
to your Command Code account.

The plugin contacts the following endpoints under https://api.commandcode.ai/provider/v1:

• GET /models — called when the AI Client refreshes its list of available models, and when it checks
  whether your credentials work. No user content is sent; only your API key, so Command Code can
  return the models available to your account.
• POST /chat/completions — called whenever any plugin or theme on your site uses the WordPress AI
  Client to generate text with a non-Claude model. The request carries your API key and the prompt:
  messages, system instruction, tool definitions, and any other parameters the calling code supplied
  (conversation history, a JSON schema for structured output, or files attached to the prompt).
• POST /messages — the same as above, for Claude models, which Command Code serves only on this
  endpoint.

No request is made until something on your site asks the AI Client for a generation, or the AI Client
refreshes its model list. Your API key is stored on your own site and is only ever sent to
api.commandcode.ai.

Optional: setting COMMANDCODE_ZDR=1 adds an x-cmd-zdr: 1 header, asking Command Code to route the
request only through zero-data-retention upstreams. Requests fail with a 422 when a chosen model has
no such upstream, rather than falling back silently.
