Frequently Asked Questions
Claudeus has more tools (145 vs 93). Is it better?
More tools does not mean better. Claudeus loads all 145 tools into the AI context at once, consuming significant tokens before the AI even starts working. WP Navigator uses dynamic toolsets — the AI introspects available capabilities and loads only the 3-5 tools it needs for the current task. This results in 99%+ context reduction and significantly lower AI costs.
Is Claudeus WP MCP safe for production WordPress sites?
Claudeus provides raw MCP access without safety features — no preview workflow, no permission controls, no audit logging, and no kill switch. Changes happen immediately with no approval step. For production sites, WP Navigator adds the preview and approval layer: see every change as a diff, control what AI can do with guardrail policies, and revoke access instantly if needed.
