SiteAgent for Aura
A free, open-source WordPress plugin that connects your sites to the Aura dashboard for health, inventory, update visibility, and authenticated maintenance. Aura's paid plans add the SaaS layer for scheduled rollout, backup-aware safety, AI workflows, reporting, and support.
Extend Aura to Your WordPress Sites
While Aura manages your servers, CDN, and DNS across Cloudways, Cloudflare, and Bunny.net — SiteAgent extends that reach directly into each WordPress installation. The plugin stays free and useful: health, inventory, update visibility, and authenticated maintenance actions. Aura's paid plans add the SaaS layer for fleet workflows, scheduled rollout, backup/rollback safety, vulnerability insights, MCP/AI tools, client-ready reporting, and priority support.
Features
Free plugin capabilities plus paid-plan automation when your site fleet grows.
Free Site Visibility
See WordPress version, PHP version, plugins, themes, database info, disk usage, and update availability from Aura.
Manual Maintenance Actions
Run authenticated plugin, theme, translation, and database maintenance actions without logging into every wp-admin screen.
Safe Automation on Paid Plans
Paid Aura tiers add fleet rollout workflows, scheduled SiteAgent updates, backup guards, rollback-aware history, and vulnerability insights.
MCP / AI-Agent Ready
SiteAgent exposes structured tools for agent-assisted maintenance, gated by Aura policy and account entitlements.
Reports & Support Workflows
Pro and Agency teams can turn site status, update history, and vulnerability signals into client-ready operations workflows.
Zero Frontend Impact
SiteAgent only registers REST API endpoints. No scripts, styles, or database queries on your visitors' page loads.
The agentic control plane for WordPress fleets
SiteAgent is the on-site half. Aura is the control room above it: the one surface where an agent runs your whole client fleet — safely, with approvals and audit.
One token, your whole fleet
Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP agent to Aura's fleet gateway with a single scoped token. One instruction runs across every client site — not one tab at a time.
Ops · design · infra, one surface
Agents drive WordPress ops (via SiteAgent), page design across any builder (Elementor and more), and multi-provider infrastructure (restart, backup, cache purge) — through the same governed gateway.
Approvals + immutable audit
Mutating actions are risk-classified and approval-gated by default — agent and external-token requests queue for human sign-off, while reads run on demand. Each call is recorded — who/what asked, who approved, what ran. The control room, not another editor.
Safe by default
Health-gated fleet updates with auto-rollback, page-content snapshots before design writes with one-click restore, and pack-scoped tokens. Agents move fast; Aura keeps it reversible.
Client memory + billing reports
A durable per-client brain (brand voice, conventions, decisions) shared across your team, plus usage reports priced by your rate card — the substrate for billing clients.
Client portals
Hand each client a read-only link to their own fleet status, activity, and spend — white-labelled, no login.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Three layers of authentication protect every request.
WordPress Auth
Standard Application Passwords with capability checks (manage_options / update_plugins). Only authorized administrators can trigger actions.
Aura Site Token
Auto-generated 32-character token sent via X-Aura-Token header. Verified with timing-safe comparison on every request. Unique per site.
IP Whitelist
Optional IP restriction with full support for Cloudflare and reverse proxy headers. Lock API access to your Aura instance only.
