-Orbitwrite for WordPress is the official plugin for [Orbitwrite](https://orbitwrite.com), the social media scheduling service. It adds a small composer to your site. When you finish an article, open **Share on Orbitwrite** in the editor sidebar: the text is filled in with the article's title and link, and its featured image is attached. Edit it, pick the networks, and choose when it goes out: now, at your workspace's next free posting slot, or at a date and time.
+Orbitwrite for WordPress is the official plugin for [Orbitwrite](https://orbitwrite.com), the social media scheduling service. Write the social post for an article in the same place you wrote the article, then publish it or schedule it to X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, Instagram and more.
 
-* Works in the block editor sidebar, as a box on the classic editor screen (with the Classic Editor plugin), and on its own **Orbitwrite** page for posts not tied to an article.
-* Connect with your Orbitwrite account. No API keys to copy.
-* Give any channel its own version: untick "Same as main post" and write different text or pick a different image for it.
-* Each channel shows its character count and anything its network won't take, such as a missing image on Instagram, as you type.
-* Images are sent at the largest size each network accepts, picked from the sizes WordPress already made.
-* Your unsent draft is kept if you close the sidebar or reload.
-* See what you've sent from each article, whether it's scheduled, waiting for approval or published, with links to the live posts.
-* Delete a post that hasn't gone out yet.
-* See how each published post did: impressions, reactions, comments, reposts and link clicks back to your article.
+=== How it works ===
+
+1. **Connect your Orbitwrite account.** Each WordPress user signs in with their own account, and there are no API keys to copy.
+2. **Open Share on Orbitwrite** in the editor sidebar when you finish an article. The text is filled in with the article's title and link, and its featured image is attached.
+3. **Edit the post and pick your channels.** Each channel shows its character count and anything its network won't take as you type.
+4. **Choose when it goes out:** now, at your workspace's next free posting slot, or at a date and time.
+
+=== Write where you already work ===
+
+**Block editor:** a Share on Orbitwrite sidebar next to the article.
+
+**Classic editor:** a box on the edit screen, with the Classic Editor plugin.
+
+**The Orbitwrite page:** a composer for posts not tied to an article.
+
+Your unsent draft is kept if you close the sidebar or reload.
+
+=== One post, or a version for each channel ===
+
+Every channel uses the main post until you untick "Same as main post" for it. Then you can write different text or pick a different image for that channel alone.
+
+Each channel shows its character count and anything its network won't take, such as a missing image on Instagram. Images are sent at the largest size each network accepts, picked from the sizes WordPress already made.
+
+=== Auto-share new articles ===
+
+Turn on auto-share and each article you write goes to the channels you choose the first time it's published. The text is built from the article with these tags:
+
+* `{title}` the article's title
+* `{url}` its link
+* `{excerpt}` its excerpt, or the start of the article
+* `{author}` the author's name
+* `{hashtags}` its tags, as hashtags
+
+Turn it off for any article from its Share on Orbitwrite box.
+
+=== See what you sent and how it did ===
+
+* Each article lists the posts you've sent for it, with their status (scheduled, waiting for approval or published) and links to the live posts. You can delete any post that's still waiting to go out.
+* Each published post shows its impressions, reactions, comments, reposts and link clicks back to your article.
 * The Orbitwrite page opens with your last four weeks: posts published, impressions, engagements and link clicks against the four weeks before, and your top posts.
-* A dashboard widget with your last four weeks, and a Social column and Share link in your Posts list.
-* Auto-share: share each article you write to the channels you choose, with text built from the article (title, link, excerpt, author, tags as hashtags), the first time it's published. Turn it off for any article from its Share on Orbitwrite box.
+* A dashboard widget shows your last four weeks, and your Posts list gets a Social column and a Share link.
+
+=== Bring your AI agent ===
+
+The posts you send from WordPress land in your Orbitwrite workspace, and your AI agent can work in the same one. Orbitwrite's [MCP server](https://orbitwrite.com/features/mcp) connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and anything else that speaks MCP. Your agent can draft and schedule posts, find free slots, ask for approval and answer replies in your inbox, and every post still goes through your team's approvals and permissions.
+
+To set it up, paste this prompt into your agent:
+
+> Fetch and execute the appropriate instructions to set me up for Orbitwrite from https://orbitwrite.com/agent-setup/prompt.md
+
+It adds the MCP server for the agent you're using, walks you through signing in and installs the Orbitwrite skill. In Claude or ChatGPT, add a custom connector under Settings → Connectors with the URL `https://mcp.orbitwrite.com/mcp` and sign in. The [MCP guide](https://orbitwrite.com/docs/developers/mcp) has the steps for every client.
+
+=== What you need ===
 
 You need an [Orbitwrite](https://orbitwrite.com) account with at least one connected social channel. Orbitwrite plans are paid, and each starts with a 10-day free trial.
 
+Your site needs a public address, HTTPS and pretty permalinks so Orbitwrite can reach it when you connect.
+
 Each WordPress user connects their own Orbitwrite account, so posts are attributed to the right person and your team's roles and approval rules in Orbitwrite still apply.
+
+== Installation ==
+
+1. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin and search for "Orbitwrite".
+2. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
+3. Open **Orbitwrite** in the admin menu and click **Connect Orbitwrite**.
+4. Sign in on orbitwrite.com. You're brought back to WordPress, connected.
+5. To share new articles automatically, set up auto-share under Orbitwrite → Auto-share.
