Novamira Pro: A Complete Guide to Connecting AI to WordPress (2026)

Novamira and Novamira Pro: WordPress with true access for AI agents

If you work with WordPress and AI agents (Cursor, Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others), you’ve probably already experienced this never-ending cycle: the model suggests a snippet, you paste it, it fails, you go back to the chat, copy an error message, and so on, over and over again. Novamira Break that cycle: Connect your AI client directly to your WordPress installation using MCP (Model Context Protocol), so that the agent can execute PHP, read and write files, query the database, and build actual functionality on your development or staging site.

This article summarizes what Novamira Free is and what it offers Novamira Pro, how to connect an AI client, and what security practices are recommended in the official documentation (updated as of September 2026). The plugin is updated very frequently (almost every week), so it's always a good idea to have the latest updated version.

What problem does Novamira solve?

Without Novamira, asking an AI to “fix WordPress” involves a manual process: the model can’t see your database, can’t test its own code in the live environment, and can’t inspect how your plugins behave. You’re the intermediary at every step.

With Novamira, the agent connects to your WordPress site via MCP. You can view data, test changes, review results, and iterate within the same conversation. You're still in charge: With most MCP clients, you can require approval before using each tool.

«Your AI client connects directly to your WordPress site. Novamira is a plugin that runs on your server; it is not a proxy or an externally hosted service.»

How does it work (MCP + Abilities API)?

Novamira relies on three standards from the WordPress/AI ecosystem:

  1. WordPress Abilities API (as of WordPress 6.9): Records executable capabilities in a standardized way.
  2. MCP Adapter (official WordPress plugin, included with Novamira): exposes these capabilities to MCP clients.
  3. Model Context Protocol (MCP): the open protocol used by Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex, Gemini CLI, and many others.

The typical workflow described in the documentation is: discover (read code, topic, relevant tables) → to prototype (Test PHP on your actual WordPress site) → save (stable code in the sandbox) → to teach (skills in Markdown) → expand (actual tools uploaded to the server).

What does Novamira Free include?

The free version is the core. According to the "Getting Started" documentation, it registers abilities that provide broad access to the environment:

AbilityWhat is it used for?
Run PHPRun PHP with the full WordPress environment ($wpdb, features, plugins). Typical limit of 30 seconds.
Read / Write / Edit / Delete FileFile system operations. New PHP processes are sent to the sandbox.
Disable / Enable FileDeactivate or reactivate a sandbox file without deleting it.
List DirectoryBrowse directories (with filters and recursive traversal).
Create Upload LinkTemporary URL for uploading plugins, themes, media, or other binaries.

Important: AI Abilities are coming disabled by default. You must enable them in Novamira → Configuration / Settings. When they are enabled, a red indicator appears Novamira ON in the admin bar.

Requirements and Quick Installation

  • WordPress 6.9+ (The Free and Pro versions explicitly state this in the current documentation.).
  • PHP 8.0+ For Pro (also recommended for Free).
  • HTTPS (except for local development environments).
  • Administrator user to authenticate the connection.
  1. Download the ZIP file from novamira.ai.
  2. Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → Activate.
  3. Novamira → Configuration: active Enable AI Capabilities (staging/dev only).
  4. Connect your AI client (OAuth or Application Password).

How do you connect your AI client?

The page Novamira → Configuration It's designed with your customer in mind: you choose the tool, and it shows you only the routes that work, with your site's URL already filled in. There are two main paths:

Option A — OAuth (recommended since 1.9.1)

No password to copy. You authorize access from the WordPress login page in your browser, and you can revoke access at Novamira → Manage Connections. Typical endpoint:

https://tu-sitio.com/wp-json/mcp/novamira-oauth

Option B — Application Password

Useful if your hosting provider filters traffic from AI cloud customers, or if you prefer manual configuration. The endpoint (without a suffix -oauth) reads as follows:

{"mcpServers":{"novamira-your-site":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@automattic\/mcp-wordpress-remote@latest"],"env":{"WP_API_URL":"https:\/\/tu-sitio.com\/wp-json\/mcp\/novamira","WP_API_USERNAME":"your-username","WP_API_PASSWORD":"your-application-password"}}}}

Credentials must be only in environment variables (WP_API_URL, WP_API_USERNAME, WP_API_PASSWORD). The remote package ignores CLI flags such as --url o --password.

Official Documentation: Connecting Your AI Client

After connecting, you should see three MCP adapter tools on the client: Discover Abilities, Get Ability Info y Execute Ability. Here's a simple test: Ask it, “List the plugins installed on this WordPress site.”.

A leaner alternative: the Novamira CLI (@novamira/cli) for terminal agents, without going through the MCP.

Novamira Pro: History and Specializations

Pro is an add-on to Free. It uses the same MCP connection but offers more tools and more context. The product page (September 2026) highlights:

  • Report Between Sessions: The agent can save project details (agreements, stack, decisions) in the site's WordPress database.
  • Specializations end-to-end on 53 builders and plugins (and growing): Elementor Pro, Bricks, Divi 5, Oxygen 6, Beaver Builder, Breakdance, WPBakery, Etch, Mosaic, WooCommerce, ACF, JetEngine, Meta Box, Rank Math, Yoast, forms, themes such as Astra, Kadence, and GeneratePress, and many add-ons.
  • Skills maintained by the team for complex flows.
  • WordPress content capabilities (create/update/delete posts and pages) and native builder capabilities.

Memory: What Do We Keep and What Do We Forget?

According to the Memory documentation: Nothing is saved automatically. The agent decides what is worth remembering and calls upon memory abilities. It resides in the site's database (by installation, not by user). Any AI client connected to that site can view it: treat it as project knowledge, not as personal notes.
