It turns a WordPress install into a server your terminal can talk to. From Claude Code you connect, and the agent gets real hands on the site. It builds pages, edits files, runs commands, and touches the database. This is the deepest access a plugin can hand an AI. That power is the whole reason to use it, and the whole reason to be careful with it.
Novamira is one free, open source WordPress plugin. It is not a hosted service and it is not a separate agency product. When people say "Novamira Pro Agency" they mean the top license tier of Novamira Pro, which covers up to 1000 sites. The plugin does the work. Pro adds memory and expertise. The Agency tier is just the seat count. Nobody on the team should go hunting for a different download.
The plugin turns the site into an MCP server. MCP is the open standard that lets an AI client and a tool talk to each other. Your terminal is the client. The site is the server. The data path runs through your own AI provider, so nothing routes through Novamira.
A normal WordPress plugin. It needs WordPress 6.9 and PHP 8.0 or newer. Abilities ship switched off, and only an administrator can turn them on and connect.
Point Claude Code at the site with claude mcp add. It also works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, VS Code, and the Gemini CLI. The site now answers your agent.
You describe the outcome. The agent inspects the live install, writes the code or content, and runs it against the real WordPress environment.
You read what it did before it ships. On a staging clone this is safe iteration. On production it is a live edit, so the review step is the guardrail.
This is the part that separates Novamira from the lighter WordPress connectors. Most plugins expose content and settings over an API. Novamira hands the agent the keys to the engine room.
Executes PHP with the full WordPress environment loaded. It can test an idea against the running install, not a guess.
Queries and modifies the database directly. Powerful for cleanup and migration work. No undo, so this is the sharp edge.
Reads and edits theme and plugin files, so it can fix templates, functions, and config in place.
Full WP-CLI access for the operations you would normally type by hand: users, options, rewrites, imports.
Builds Gutenberg pages and uploads plugins or themes. It ships structure, not just words on a page.
Markdown playbooks stored inside WordPress teach the agent the site's conventions, so it edits the way you would.
Memory. Pro keeps project conventions and brand details between sessions, so the agent does not start cold every time you open the terminal. Over a long client relationship that is the difference between a helper and a teammate.
Expertise. Maintained knowledge for 37 builders and plugins, including Elementor, Bricks, Divi, WooCommerce, ACF, Gravity Forms, and the major SEO plugins. On a Divi or Elementor client that expertise is what keeps the agent from fighting the builder.
These are the actual tools the plugin exposes to your terminal. The green tag means it ships in the free plugin. The red tag means it comes with Pro. Counts move as Novamira ships updates, so read this as the shape of the surface, not a frozen spec.
Runs PHP inside the live WordPress process with the full environment loaded. It can call any plugin or theme function that PHP can reach.
Direct read and write against every WordPress table and any custom table a plugin created. No API layer in the way.
Read, create, edit, and delete files anywhere under the WordPress install. New PHP files land in a monitored sandbox with crash recovery.
Full WP-CLI access, including background jobs so long migrations keep running without holding the session open.
Authors posts and pages using core blocks and third party blocks, so it ships real page structure, not just text.
Activate, deactivate, upload, and edit plugins. It can drop in a ZIP archive and turn it on.
Reversibly pauses a file instead of deleting it, so a risky change can be backed out cleanly.
Generates a single use wp-admin login so the agent can also drive the browser admin, not only the code layer.
Short Markdown playbooks stored in WordPress that teach the agent this site's conventions and get followed when a task matches.
Feeds design direction so generated pages hold visual consistency instead of drifting off brand.
Persists project conventions, colors, fonts, and decisions between sessions so the agent does not start cold each time.
Purpose built abilities per builder. When Elementor or Bricks is active, Pro loads roughly 21 extra builder aware abilities on top of the core set.
Reviews report Pro adds about 16 core abilities across filesystem, post CRUD, and memory, then conditionally loads roughly 21 more per active builder so the agent only carries the tools the site actually uses. The free plugin already carries the deep access: PHP, database, files, WP-CLI, and page building.
Because the agent runs PHP and hits the database directly, its reach is close to a full administrator with server access. This is the honest map of that reach. The value and the risk both live in this table.

Read this the way you would read a set of master keys. The agent can do almost anything an admin with shell access can do. That is why the whole live client roster stays behind backups, staging, and a per client login you can revoke.
Any of these can be edited through the raw file and database access in the free plugin. Pro is what makes the agent fluent in them, so it works the builder the right way instead of fighting it. At the time of writing the tuned set is 37 and growing. This is the current list, grouped.
The free plugin is fully functional on unlimited sites. Pro is a license that unlocks memory and the builder expertise. Every install counts as one site, including staging and local copies, so budget seats for the clones too.
| Tier | Price | Sites | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Open source, AGPL | €0 | Unlimited | All core access: PHP, database, files, WP-CLI, page building, Skills |
| Pro Personal | €49 per year | 3 | Everything in Free, plus memory and the 37 builder expertise |
| Pro AgencyFleet fit | €129 per year, launch price | 1000 | Full Pro across the whole client roster |
| Pro Agency Lifetime | €249 one time, launch price | 1000 | Full Pro across the roster, pay once |
The launch pricing above ends today, 31 July at 23:59 CEST. After that the Agency tier moves to €149 per year and Agency Lifetime moves to €299 one time. Personal stays at €49. If we are buying anyway, buying today locks the lower number. If we are not sure yet, the free plugin lets us prove the workflow first and upgrade later.
Most of our client sites are WordPress. The work that eats our hours is the hands on kind: a template fix, a schema block, a landing page build, a bulk content update, a plugin conflict. That is exactly the work Novamira lets an agent do at our direction instead of us doing every keystroke.
The mistake would be to point this at a live client site and let it run. Because our clients are live and revenue depends on them, we split the work by how much damage a bad edit could do.
Automated backup before every session. Staging first for anything structural. A per client login you can revoke without touching the rest of the roster. And a human reads the change before it lands on a site that pays us. An agent with un-undoable database access on a client's live site is a liability until those four are in place.
Novamira is the most capable way to let an agent build on WordPress, and the free plugin makes the pilot free. Put it on one client's staging site this week, run a real build through it, and see how much it moves. If it earns its place, the Agency tier at the launch price covers the whole roster. Keep the WordPress core adapter alongside it for the routine live edits, and hold the four guardrails on every client that pays us.
