Requirements
Before installing Novamira, make sure your environment meets these requirements.
Server requirements
| Component | Minimum version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.9 | Required for the Abilities API, which is part of WordPress core starting from 6.9. |
| PHP | 8.0 | |
| HTTPS | Required for remote connections | WordPress Application Passwords require HTTPS. For local development, set WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE to local in wp-config.php to bypass this requirement. |
Client requirements
To connect an AI client to your WordPress site, you need:
| Component | Minimum version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | 18.0 or later | Provides npm and npx, used by the MCP remote proxy (@automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote). |
If you do not have Node.js installed, follow the Installing Node.js guide.
For local WordPress installations with WP-CLI, you can use the STDIO transport instead, which does not require Node.js. See Connecting Your AI Client for details.
Bundled dependencies
Novamira bundles the MCP Adapter plugin (version 0.4.1 or later). You do not need to install MCP Adapter separately. If you already have the standalone MCP Adapter plugin installed, you can safely deactivate it after activating Novamira.
Browser requirements
The Novamira admin interface (Settings, Connect, Sandbox pages) works in any modern browser that WordPress itself supports. No special browser requirements.
