Frequently Asked Questions

WP Navigator is a WordPress plugin paired with an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents structured, safe, and audited access to your WordPress site. It provides 93 specialised tools for content management, plugin configuration, theme customisation, and page builder operations — all with preview-first safety built in.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard created by Anthropic that allows AI agents to interact with external tools and services in a structured way. Think of it as a universal adapter between AI and the software it needs to work with. WP Navigator implements an MCP server specifically designed for WordPress.

WP Navigator works with any MCP-compatible client. Today that includes Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and others. As the MCP ecosystem grows, WP Navigator automatically works with new clients — no updates needed. Bring your own AI, bring your own API key.

Safety is the foundation, not an add-on. WP Navigator includes a kill switch for instant access revocation, an 8×4 guardrail policy matrix (None / Read / Suggest / Write), Plan-Diff-Apply previews so you see every change before it goes live, and comprehensive audit logging of every AI action. You stay in control at every step.

The official WordPress MCP Adapter (shipping with WordPress 7.0) is a framework — it provides the bridge but not the guardrails. WP Navigator adds the safety layer: kill switch, 8×4 permission matrix, Plan-Diff-Apply previews, audit logging, token efficiency, and builder-aware cookbooks. The Adapter is the bridge; WP Navigator is the guardrails.

WP Navigator is designed to dramatically reduce AI token usage compared to raw WordPress REST API interactions. Progressive disclosure means your AI only loads the tools it needs, and builder cookbooks provide compact structured references instead of dumping entire page structures. I'm currently benchmarking exact figures and will publish results before launch.

Yes. WP Navigator Free includes core MCP integration, essential tools, and basic audit logging with 7-day retention for one site. Pro adds advanced guardrail controls, approval workflows, enhanced audit logging (30-day retention), deep builder adapters, and bulk operations for $12/month or $119/year. Pricing is indicative and subject to change before launch.

I'm targeting an MVP launch in mid-2026. Register your interest to be first in line — founding members get locked-in pricing for life. Pricing is indicative and subject to change before launch.

Yes. WP Navigator includes builder-aware cookbooks for Gutenberg (the WordPress block editor), Elementor, and WPBakery. These provide AI with the exact structure and token-efficient context it needs to create, edit, and manage pages built with each builder.

WooCommerce support is on the roadmap. Early beta participants will be the first to test WooCommerce tools including product management, bulk description updates, and inventory operations — all with the same preview-first safety model.
