What it does

PressBridge lets Claude (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, any MCP client) look inside a WordPress site safely. It runs outside WordPress, so it still works when the site is broken.

Free edition (this package), read-only, one site:

  • Read, list and search theme and plugin files
  • wp-config.php, .env, SQL dumps, keys and .git are invisible to the model
  • Nothing outside the site folder, symlink tricks included
  • Read-only WP-CLI: versions, plugins, themes, checksums, cron, users
  • WooCommerce read-only: products, stock, prices, coupons, shipping, taxes
  • site_overview and check_site_health

Install: PressBridge runs where the site files are. Install it on the server (pip install pressbridge), create ~/.pressbridge/config.yaml, then connect Claude over SSH:

claude mcp add pressbridge -- ssh you@server ~/pressbridge-venv/bin/pressbridge serve --config ~/.pressbridge/config.yaml

Full guide: https://github.com/pressbridgesupport/pressbridge

PressBridge Pro adds editing with automatic backups and one-call undo, automatic rollback if a change breaks the site, plugin/theme/core updates, unlimited sites, a remote HTTPS server with Docker, and a nightly security agent: https://pressbridgesupport.github.io/pressbridge

Quickstart

Install it the way its author documents:

1. # On the server (where the site files are): 2. python3 -m venv ~/pressbridge-venv && ~/pressbridge-venv/bin/pip install pressbridge 3. # Create ~/.pressbridge/config.yaml with your site's root folder (see the guide) 4. # On your computer, connect Claude over SSH: 5. claude mcp add pressbridge -- ssh you@server ~/pressbridge-venv/bin/pressbridge serve --config ~/.pressbridge/config.yaml
