Ask for what you need, and your AI assistant handles it. That first release covered a lot of the day-to-day work. Create sites. Update PHP. Manage domains and collaborators. Audit your entire portfolio in a single prompt. For agencies and developers already working in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini CLI, it changed how hosting management felt. But there was still a category of tasks that pulled you out of the flow: the hands-on operational work. Clearing a cache before a launch. Pulling a backup before a deployment. Running a WP-CLI command. Checking an SSL certificate. Useful, routine tasks – but ones that still meant stopping what you were doing and opening a dashboard. That gap is now closed. **What You Can Do Now** Pressable MCP has expanded significantly since launch. Here’s what you can hand off to your AI assistant today that you couldn’t before. **Caching** Clear edge, object, or CDN cache for any site – or toggle defensive mode on and off. Before a launch, after a deployment, or when troubleshooting a performance issue, you no longer have to touch a settings page. **Backups** List available file and database backups for any site and get a download link for the one you need. Confirm your restore points before a risky deployment, or grab a specific backup for a client – all through a single prompt. **WP-CLI and shell commands** Run WP-CLI commands on individual sites, or the same command across multiple sites at once. Update all plugins across your entire client portfolio in one shot. Run a database search-replace. Trigger a cache flush. Anything you’d normally SSH in to do, you can now ask your AI assistant to handle. **Environment transfer** Copy files and database between environments, or refresh a site’s plugin and theme list with what’s actually installed. Useful when staging has drifted or after a manual change. **WordPress admin** Reset owner or user passwords, get a phpMyAdmin link for a quick database check – without navigating through the dashboard. **SSL** Check certificate status on any domain and retry issuance if it stalled. Useful during client onboarding or when a browser warning gets reported. **Site organization** Tag sites, leave notes, and mark favorites for yourself or a collaborator. For agencies managing large portfolios, this makes the sites you work on most a lot faster to find. **Access management** Disconnect an active SSH session or toggle the WordPress MCP connection on or off for a specific site. **What This Looks Like in Practice** **Before a sale event or campaign launch** “Clear all cache for shop.mystore.com, then show me the most recent file and database backups with download links.” → Cache cleared, backup inventory confirmed, download links ready – in one turn. **Bulk plugin maintenance across a client portfolio** “Run ‘wp plugin update –all’ across all my live client sites and show me which ones completed successfully.” → Every site updated, results logged – without SSH-ing into a single one. **Pre-deployment backup check** “List the last three database backups for client-acme.com and give me a download link for the most recent one.” → Backup confirmed and accessible before the deployment goes out. **SSL certificate triage** “Check the SSL certificate status for all domains on client-site.com and retry issuance on any that show an error.” → Certificate issues surfaced and addressed without leaving your editor. **Staging drift cleanup** “Resync the plugin and theme list on client-acme-staging to match what’s installed, then copy the production database to staging.” → Staging environment back in sync, ready for testing. **Everything Available in Pressable MCP Today** The full capability set now includes: - Site creation and environment configuration. - Site lifecycle actions (clone, enable, disable, convert, delete). - PHP version management and WordPress updates. - Domain management. - Caching (clear edge, object, and CDN cache; toggle defensive mode). - Backups (list backups, get download links for files and database). - Environment transfer (copy files and database between environments, refresh plugin and theme lists). - WP-CLI and shell commands, including bulk execution across multiple sites. - WordPress admin (password resets, phpMyAdmin link). - SSL certificate status and retry. - Collaborator management at account and site level, including bulk actions. - PHP error logs and webserver access logs. - Plugin management. - WordPress user management. - One-time login URL generation. - FTP account management. - Activity logs at account and site level. - Site organization (tags, notes, favorites). - Access management (disconnect SSH, toggle WordPress MCP per site).
