Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The plugin only exposes a few specific REST API endpoints that don't cover the full range of the plugin's features, and no abilities that can be used with AI tools / MCP.
Describe the solution you'd like
Register abilities via https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_register_ability/ for the following tasks:
- Rewrite
- Republish
- Clone
- Copy as new draft
Why do you think this feature is something we should consider for the Yoast SEO plugins?
AI is increasingly part of our workflows, and enabling it to use plugin features like this one offers would be a powerful value add.

Research direction
Start by reading the WordPress wp_register_ability reference and inspect how the plugin currently exposes its REST API endpoints. Identify the existing implementations for Rewrite, Republish, Clone, and Copy as new draft, then register abilities that make those tasks available to AI tools and MCP. Done means all four plugin functions are exposed as usable abilities.
