 Replying to [comment:18 jorgefilipecosta]:
 > For now, Akismet cannot register its own connector that appears on the
 connectors screen before the plugin is activated. This commit includes the
 required metadata so the connector appears before activation, just like
 OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.For OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google they even
 appear before installation which is not the case for Akismet.

 That's my point, without the plugin being active the Akismet plugin does
 not serve a purpose. As the AI connectors are designed to be shared
 between various plugins. The Akismet API key serves a purpose exclusively
 for a single plugin.



 The [https://wordpress.org/plugins/opengraph-xyz/ OpenGraph.xyz],
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/magic-api-email/ Magic API Email] and
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/transleti-connector/ TransLeti Connector]
 plugins all require API keys, are there plans to go through the plugin
 directory and add connectors for all plugins that require a key?

 > This change was discussed with the release lead @matveb.

 Where was this discussed? Like the AI client connectors, the wider
 contributor group should have had a chance to discuss this.
