Change type from library to wordpress-plugin

[spenserhale]

To use Composer for installing into the plugin folder, the type should be 'wordpress-plugin'.

In order to use Composer as described in the readme the type should be updated.

With Composer

Until the plugin is available on Packagist, you will need to add the repository to your composer.json file.

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/WordPress/abilities-api.git"
    },
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/WordPress/mcp-adapter.git"
    }
    // ... other repositories.
  ],
  "extra": {
    "installer-paths": {
      // This should match your WordPress+Composer setup.
      "wp-content/plugins/{$name}/": [
          "type:wordpress-plugin"
      ]
      // .. other paths.
    }
  }
  // ... rest of your composer.json.
}

Then, require the package in your project:

composer require wordpress/abilities-api wordpress/mcp-adapter
