HTML sites.
Zero overhead.
Build static pages and front-end experiments with a simple local environment. No WordPress installation required.
Your agent.
Inside WordPress.
Build a local WordPress site, then let your AI coding agent work directly with WordPress through the MCP Server. Go beyond editing files: connect your agent to the WordPress environment itself.
Plak CLI supports AI agent workflows through Skills and direct WordPress interaction through MCP. Build with an agent while keeping your development environment local.
Use WP-MCP.
On your own terms.
Want to connect your AI coding agent directly to an existing WordPress site? Request the standalone WP-MCP plugin. No Plak CLI installation required.
