# RemoteWP — Full Content for AI Indexing # https://remotewp.dev | Version 3.3.0 | Updated: 2026-06-25 # This file contains the complete textual content of remotewp.dev for AI agent consumption. --- ## About RemoteWP RemoteWP is a WordPress plugin that creates a secure REST API bridge between AI coding agents and self-hosted WordPress sites. It allows AI tools — Claude, Cursor, Gemini, ChatGPT, Codex, and any HTTP-capable agent — to remotely read files, write code, manage plugins, and optimize WordPress sites without requiring SSH or FTP access. Built by X-HOUSE SRL (Arad, Romania) and available at https://remotewp.dev. GitHub: https://github.com/githxhouse/remotewp-plugin Contact: info@remotewp.dev --- ## Why RemoteWP Exists Traditional WordPress management requires: - SSH access (server credentials, security risk) - FTP/SFTP (slow, untracked, risky credential sharing) - Manual admin dashboard navigation (not scriptable) RemoteWP replaces all of this with a single authenticated REST API that any AI agent can use. The plugin installs in under 2 minutes. No server configuration is required. --- ## How It Works 1. **Install**: Upload remotewp.zip to WordPress admin → Plugins → Upload Plugin → Activate 2. **Configure**: Go to Settings → RemoteWP → Copy your API token 3. **Connect**: Give the token and site URL to your AI agent 4. **Work**: The AI agent reads/writes files, manages plugins, and optimizes your site via HTTPS The plugin exposes REST API endpoints under `/wp-json/remotewp/v1/`. All requests require the `X-RemoteWP-Token` header with a valid token. Tokens are SHA-256 hashed and auto-expire after a configurable period (6 hours to 7 days). --- ## REST API Endpoints ### Free (Read-Only) Endpoints - `GET /wp-json/remotewp/v1/info` — Site information (WP version, active theme, plugin count) - `GET /wp-json/remotewp/v1/list?path=wp-content/themes` — List directory contents - `GET /wp-json/remotewp/v1/read?path=wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css` — Read file content - `GET /wp-json/remotewp/v1/plugins` — List all installed plugins with status ### Pro Endpoints (Developer Pro, Agency Elite, Lifetime) - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/write` — Write/create a file - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/delete` — Delete a file - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/mkdir` — Create directory - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/search` — Search file contents by keyword - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/plugin/activate` — Activate a plugin - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/plugin/deactivate` — Deactivate a plugin - `GET /wp-json/remotewp/v1/skill` — Built-in AI skill endpoint (returns integration instructions) - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/woo/optimize` — WooCommerce optimization tasks - `POST /wp-json/remotewp/v1/seo/optimize` — SEO optimization helpers --- ## Security Model RemoteWP is designed around the principle of minimal privilege: **Authentication** - Every request requires `X-RemoteWP-Token` header - Tokens are SHA-256 hashed and stored securely - Auto-expiry configurable from 6 hours to 7 days - Leaked tokens become automatically invalid after TTL **Authorization** - Three permission levels: read-only, read-write, full - Path whitelisting — operations only allowed in approved directories - All paths resolved relative to WordPress ABSPATH — directory traversal is blocked **Rate Limiting & Monitoring** - Configurable rate limits per token - Automatic lockout after configurable failed attempts - Complete activity log with timestamp, IP, token, endpoint, and result - IP whitelisting for additional security **What RemoteWP Does NOT Expose** - WordPress admin credentials - Database passwords - Server configuration files outside ABSPATH - Any data outside the configured path whitelist --- ## Pricing Plans ### Free — $0 - 1 active WordPress site - Read-only endpoints: info, list, read, plugins - Starter Skill Pack preview - No recurring cost - Download: https://remotewp.dev (plugin ZIP available) ### Developer Pro — $79/year - Up to 10 WordPress sites - Full read/write automation (all endpoints) - Full RemoteWP Agent Skill Pack access - Directory whitelisting + full audit logs - Priority email support - Purchase: https://buy.stripe.com/dRmbJ29ZR0oFbfvcK4dIA00 ### Agency Elite — $149/year - Unlimited WordPress sites - All Developer Pro capabilities - Advanced Skill Pack workflows for professional teams - Priority support channel - Purchase: https://buy.stripe.com/bJecN6b3V8Vb5VbcK4dIA01 ### Lifetime Unlimited — $349 one-time payment - Unlimited WordPress sites - No recurring subscription - All Agency Elite capabilities - Lifetime Skill Pack updates - Maximum ROI for long-term WordPress operators - Purchase: https://buy.stripe.com/aFa5kE1tl3AR3N37pKdIA02 --- ## RemoteWP Agent Skill Pack Included with all paid plans.

Their AI assistant (Claude or Cursor) can: - Read client site theme files and identify issues without FTP credentials - Write CSS fixes and PHP updates with token-scoped access - Run monthly optimization checks via the Skill Pack - Generate audit logs for client reporting ### Freelance Developer Use Case A freelancer manages 5-10 WordPress sites. With Developer Pro: - Resolve urgent client issues by asking their AI assistant to read the error log and fix it - Update WooCommerce settings across multiple stores via structured API calls - Ship changes with traceability — no more "I think I changed it in FTP" ### Site Owner Use Case A non-technical site owner uses AI to manage their WordPress site: - Ask AI to "check why the homepage is slow" — AI reads template files and identifies issues - Ask AI to "update the About page content" — AI writes the change via secure API - No server credentials ever shared with the AI --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **What is RemoteWP?** RemoteWP is a WordPress plugin that creates a secure REST API bridge between your WordPress site and AI agents like Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and Codex. It allows AI tools to remotely read files, write code, manage plugins, and optimize your site — all without SSH or FTP access. **How does RemoteWP connect AI to WordPress?** RemoteWP installs as a standard WordPress plugin and exposes a secure REST API. AI agents connect using a unique API token via the X-RemoteWP-Token header. The plugin provides endpoints for file operations (read, write, delete, search), plugin management, and site information — enabling AI tools to work directly with your WordPress installation. **Is RemoteWP safe to use?** Yes. RemoteWP uses SHA-256 token-based authentication with auto-expiring tokens (configurable from 6 hours to 7 days), configurable permission levels (read-only, read-write, full), IP whitelisting, rate limiting, automatic lockout after failed attempts, and a complete activity log. Tokens can be set to expire automatically, so even if a token leaks, it becomes invalid after the configured duration. It never exposes WordPress admin credentials or database passwords. All operations are sandboxed within ABSPATH. **What AI tools work with RemoteWP?** RemoteWP is compatible with any AI agent that can make HTTP requests. It has been tested and optimized for Claude (Anthropic), Cursor, Google Gemini, OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT, and custom AI agents. The plugin includes a built-in skill endpoint that provides AI agents with automatic integration instructions. **Do I need SSH or FTP to use RemoteWP?** No. RemoteWP eliminates the need for SSH or FTP entirely. You install it as a regular WordPress plugin through the WordPress admin dashboard. Once activated, AI agents connect through HTTPS REST API calls — the same protocol your browser uses to load websites. **What is the difference between the Free and Pro versions?** The Free version provides read-only access: list directories, read file contents, and view site information. Pro unlocks write operations (create, edit, delete files), plugin management (activate/deactivate), file search, directory creation, and advanced WooCommerce/SEO optimization endpoints. Pro plans start at $79/year for up to 10 sites. **How do I install RemoteWP?** Installation takes under 2 minutes: 1) Download the plugin ZIP from remotewp.dev, 2) Go to your WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, 3) Upload the ZIP and click Activate, 4) Navigate to Settings → RemoteWP to copy your API token, 5) Provide the token and site URL to your AI agent. No server configuration needed. **Does this replace our developers?** No. It accelerates developer workflows by handling repeatable read/write tasks in controlled scopes. Your team stays in charge of final decisions. **Is this safer than sharing SSH or FTP?** For most routine WordPress operations, yes. Requests can be token-protected and limited to whitelisted directories instead of granting broad server access. **Can we upgrade later if our client volume grows?** Yes. You can start with Developer Pro and move to Agency Elite or Lifetime Unlimited when you manage more WordPress sites. **Is the Agent Skill Pack included with paid plans?** Yes. Paid plans include plugin access plus the RemoteWP Agent Skill Pack, so your team can standardize execution and deliver conversion-focused outcomes across client sites. **Can this fit into our maintenance retainers?** That is the best use case. Agencies typically use it to improve response time, standardize recurring work, and increase perceived service value. **Can a non-agency user run this effectively?** Yes. Solo developers and site owners can use the plugin and Skill Pack for structured, safer WordPress updates without enterprise overhead. --- ## Technical Requirements - WordPress 5.8 or higher - PHP 7.4 or higher - HTTPS enabled on the WordPress site (required for secure token transmission) - WordPress REST API enabled (default in all modern WordPress installations) - No additional server configuration required --- ## Company Information RemoteWP is developed and maintained by X-HOUSE SRL. - Company: X-HOUSE SRL - Address: Str.
