Novamira

Novamira is an open-source WordPress plugin that turns your site into an MCP server, giving AI agents like Claude Code and Cursor direct access to run PHP, query the database, and manage files on the real install.

What is Novamira?

Novamira is an open-source WordPress plugin that turns any WordPress install into an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so AI agents get direct, low-level access to the site instead of a limited REST API or a closed action menu. Once installed (WordPress 6.9+ and PHP 8.0+ required), an MCP-capable client — Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, ChatGPT/Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and others — connects straight to the install over OAuth or a WordPress application password, with nothing routing through Novamira's servers. The agent can execute PHP in the full WordPress runtime, read and write files (new PHP lands in a sandbox first), query the database, run WP-CLI commands including background jobs, and build Gutenberg content that is valid from the first save. The plugin was launched in February 2026 by Ovation S.r.l., the Italian company behind Dynamic.ooo and its popular 'Dynamic Content for Elementor' add-on, and the open-source core has gathered over 500 GitHub stars with 26 releases by mid-2026. The free version includes every core ability for unlimited sites under the AGPL license; a paid Pro tier adds cross-session project memory (so the agent remembers your brand conventions, colors, and rules between sessions) and maintained expertise for page builders and plugins like Elementor, Bricks, Divi, WooCommerce, ACF, and Yoast. The vendor is explicit that the tool is meant for development and staging environments, and the price is a vendor-site launch: Pro from €49/year and a one-time Agency Lifetime license (1,000 sites) that started at €199 and stepped to €249. There is no TrustRadius, G2, or Capterra listing yet — the strongest independent signals are a 4-star Trustpilot page with about six reviews, a couple of Reddit threads, and consistently positive coverage in the WordPress press.

Key Features

• MCP server for WordPress — Turns your WordPress install into an MCP server any compatible AI client connects to directly, over OAuth or an application password, with no third-party relay
• Live PHP execution — Agents run real PHP inside the full WordPress environment — every function, every active plugin, $wpdb and the database — instead of calling a narrow fixed action set
• Filesystem read/write — Read, edit, create, delete, and soft-disable files anywhere under the install; newly written PHP lands in a sandbox you can review and re-enable
• Database query access — Full read/write access to the WordPress database so agents can fix posts, options, metadata, and custom tables programmatically
• WP-CLI command support — Run WP-CLI commands including background jobs, so long migrations and bulk updates don't time out mid-task
• Gutenberg content — Agents build posts and pages with core and third-party blocks, valid from the first save instead of producing pasted-in markup
• Cross-session project memory (Pro) — Persistent, site-level memory of your conventions, brand colors, fonts, and rules that follows the site across sessions and between AI clients
• Builder & plugin specializations (Pro) — Maintained expertise for page builders and plugins such as Elementor, Bricks, Divi, WooCommerce, ACF, and Yoast so the agent works with them out of the box
• Custom Skills — Short Markdown playbooks your agent reads automatically when the task matches, so your team's workflow knowledge becomes reusable process

Who is it for?

• WordPress developers already using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI agents who want them to work directly on the real install instead of copy-pasting snippets
• Agencies running staging sites for client builds — the 1,000-site Agency and Lifetime tiers are priced for exactly that use case
• Elementor and Bricks shops where Pro's builder specializations deliver the clearest value today
• Anyone who wants their AI working on WordPress without content passing through a third-party AI builder's servers
• Teams that want the agent to implement, test, and verify its own work — describing the task instead of pasting code back and forth

Who is it NOT for?

• Non-technical site owners — the Node.js client bridge, OAuth/app-password setup, and backup-and-staging discipline demand terminal comfort
• Anyone running WordPress on shared hosting that blocks direct database or dynamic PHP execution from third-party tools
• Multi-user production sites, especially client production, where every ability runs through manage_options with no per-feature permissions
• Regulated businesses (healthcare, finance, heavy-GDPR) where unrestricted agent access to data creates audit gaps and compliance liability
• People who only want AI to write blog posts — Jetpack AI or a content generator delivers that at a fraction of the risk
• Shopify or non-WordPress users — this is a pure WordPress tool with nothing to offer elsewhere
