Supertab Launches WordPress Plugin to Help License Content to AI

Our new WordPress plugin is live in the Plugin Directory. Now any site owner can publish machine-readable licensing terms and control how AI crawlers access their content, no code needed.

ZURICH, April 27, 2026 - As the economic layer for AI agent monetization and content licensing, we are proud to announce the launch of Supertab Connect as a free WordPress plugin. It lets publishers define how AI systems and automated crawlers can access their content, without writing a single line of code.

The Supertab Connect plugin is built for the reality of today’s web: more content is being consumed by bots and AI agents than by human readers. WordPress site owners now have a simple, install-and-go tool to respond to that shift on their own terms.

‍What It Does

The plugin adds two capabilities to any WordPress site:

‍RSL License Serving. The plugin automatically publishes a machine-readable license file at /license.xml. This tells AI crawlers and agents the terms under which they can access your content, a standard that’s fast becoming the industry norm for responsible AI data access.
‍Crawler Authentication Protocol (CAP). You can require bots to present valid license tokens before they access your content. CAP lets you verify who’s coming in, monitor usage against agreed terms, and control exactly which pages are covered, down to specific URL path patterns.

Setup takes minutes: install the plugin, enter your Website URN from the Supertab Connect dashboard, and your license.xml is live. No infrastructure changes. No developer required.

‍“WordPress powers over 40% of the web. That means a huge share of the content being scraped and fed into AI models belongs to WordPress publishers who have had no practical way to set terms or track usage. Supertab Connect changes that. We’ve made it as simple as installing any other plugin on your site.”

‍Why It Matters Now

AI training and retrieval systems are consuming web content at unprecedented scale. Publishers who do nothing are effectively giving their work away for free, with no visibility into how or where it’s being used. Blocking everything is one option, but it means losing legitimate, revenue-generating access too.

With Supertab Connect, content providers now have a third path: define your terms and verify your partners, all from your WordPress dashboard.

‍Availability

The plugin is free and available now in the WordPress Plugin Directory. You’ll need a Supertab Connect account to activate it. Sign up and manage your licensing dashboard at merchant-connect.supertab.co.
