feat(ai): add MCP activity log link and Tracks analytics events by eoigal · Pull Request #48298 · Automattic/jetpack

eoigal · 2026-04-24T15:17:01Z

Fixes #

Proposed changes

Add an "Activity log" link card to the MCP hub, shown when MCP is enabled. The URL is computed in PHP: on Atomic sites it uses https://wordpress.com/activity-log/{host} directly (matching jetpack-mu-wpcom's sidebar behavior); on self-hosted/JN it uses the cloud-activity-log-wp-menu redirect slug. The resolved URL is passed to React as activityLogUrl in the jetpackAiSettings inline script.
Use wp_parse_url( home_url(), PHP_URL_HOST ) for the Atomic URL to avoid broken links on subdirectory installs where get_site_suffix() can return values containing ::.
Add three Tracks analytics events to the MCP settings UI:
- jetpack_mcp_settings_viewed — fires on page load when the user has MCP access
- jetpack_mcp_enabled_toggled — fires when the site-level MCP toggle is changed, with { enabled: bool }
- jetpack_mcp_allowlist_updated — fires on per-tool and category "Enable all" toggles, with { tool_id?, enabled, tool_count?, view: 'read'|'write' }

PRD: Turnkey MCP for Self-Hosted Jetpack Sites
Previous PR: feat(ai): Add Jetpack AI admin page with MCP settings #48048 (MCP settings UI)

Does this pull request change what data or activity we track or use?

Yes — adds three new Tracks events (jetpack_mcp_settings_viewed, jetpack_mcp_enabled_toggled, jetpack_mcp_allowlist_updated) as specified in the PRD's Data Tracking Requirements section.

Testing instructions

Activity log link:

On a self-hosted Jetpack site connected to WordPress.com, go to wp-admin/admin.php?page=ai
Enable MCP access using the toggle
Verify an "Activity log" card appears below "Connect external AI agent"
Click it — on Atomic it should open https://wordpress.com/activity-log/{domain}; on self-hosted/JN it should open https://cloud.jetpack.com/activity-log/{blogId}
Disable MCP — confirm the activity log card disappears

Tracks events (requires MC/Tracks test environment):

Navigate to wp-admin/admin.php?page=ai — confirm jetpack_mcp_settings_viewed fires once
Toggle the "Enable MCP access" toggle on/off — confirm jetpack_mcp_enabled_toggled fires with correct enabled value
Go to Read or Write sub-view, toggle an individual tool — confirm jetpack_mcp_allowlist_updated fires with tool_id, enabled, and view
Use the "Enable all" category toggle — confirm jetpack_mcp_allowlist_updated fires with tool_count and view

This page records Tracks events from the React bundle, but it doesn’t enqueue the Tracks client (jp-tracks / w.js) or inject window.jpTracksContext.blog_id (usually via Automattic\Jetpack\Connection\Initial_State::render_script). Without those, events may never be sent and/or won’t get a blog_id injected. Consider mirroring class.jetpack-react-page.php by conditionally enqueuing jp-tracks when connected & not offline, and rendering the Connection initial state for this handle.

		$blog_id     = Connection_Manager::get_site_id( true );
		$site_suffix = ( new Status() )->get_site_suffix();
		// On Atomic, jetpack-mu-wpcom replaces the cloud redirect with a direct WPCOM URL.
		// Mirror that behaviour here so the activity log link resolves consistently.
		$activity_log_url = ( new Host() )->is_woa_site()
			? 'https://wordpress.com/activity-log/' . $site_suffix

I'll leave review of the code to someone more familiar with the feature, now that the CI is cleaned up. 🙂

Works well 👍

It took me some time to find a way to come back from "Read" or "Write" screens, it wasn't obvious that you can click "AI" to come back.
So maybe we could add an arrow similar to WPCOM MCP settings to make it easier to go back to the main AI settings screen?

eoigal · 2026-05-01T10:23:31Z

There's no established Jetpack admin pattern for a back arrow in breadcrumb, so going to merge this as is. Thanks for reviews.
