Governed AI Actions for WordPress
WP Navigator is a governance layer for AI agents that change WordPress sites. It enforces a policy → diff → approval → publish workflow, ensuring every change is reviewed by a human before being applied.
Why Governance Matters
AI agents are powerful—they can update content, modify settings, install plugins, and change code. Without governance, they’re also risky. WP Navigator adds the missing safety layer:
- Policy rules define what agents can do
- Diff preview shows exact changes before apply
- Approval gate requires human review
- Audit logs record every action (Pro)
- Rollback reverses mistakes (Pro)
Works with Your Agent
WP Navigator speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI agents to tools and data sources. Compatible agents include:
- Claude Code — Terminal-based coding agent from Anthropic
- Claude Desktop — Desktop app with MCP support
- Gemini CLI — Google’s command-line agent
- Custom agents — Build your own with MCP SDK
Adapters for WordPress Plugins
WP Navigator includes pre-built adapters for popular WordPress plugins:
- Elementor — Governed edits for containers, styles, templates
- Gutenberg — Safe block and pattern updates
- WooCommerce — Bulk product edits with approval
- Yoast SEO — Policy-bound metadata changes
- Rank Math — Safe bulk title/meta updates
- Gravity Forms — Governed form field changes
Each adapter has scoped permissions. For example, allow Elementor template updates but deny CSS changes.
Upgrade to Pro
WP Navigator Pro (coming with v1.1 in 2-3 weeks) adds:
- Audit log — Full history of agent actions with structured events
- One-click rollback — Undo changes instantly
- Automated backups — Pre/post apply snapshots
- Deep adapters — Advanced scopes and bulk operations
- Per-plugin permissions — Granular control per adapter

Quick Start Guide
⏱️ Estimated time: 10 minutes
-
Install WP Navigator from your WordPress admin (Plugins → Add New). Activate and navigate to the plugin settings.
-
Enable the included MCP server from the plugin settings. The server runs on your WordPress installation and provides a secure API for agents.
-
Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Gemini CLI, or any MCP-compatible agent using your API key. Configure the agent to use WP Navigator's MCP endpoint.
-
Define what agents can do using policy rules. Allow post updates but deny plugin installs. Scope by post type, role, file paths, and database tables.
-
When an agent proposes a change, review the plan and diff. Approve to apply, or request modifications. Navigator records every action.
💡 Pro tip: Testing your first change safely
Start with a simple, reversible change to test your setup:
- • Ask the agent to update a draft post title
- • Review the diff carefully before approving
- • Check the audit log (Pro) to see the recorded action
- • Try rollback (Pro) to see how changes can be reversed
🔧 Troubleshooting: MCP server not connecting?
- • Check server status: Verify the MCP server is running in plugin settings
- • Port conflicts: Ensure the MCP port (default 7400) isn't in use
- • Firewall: Allow connections to localhost on the MCP port
- • API keys: Verify your agent is configured with valid credentials
