MCP tools
The panel’s MCP server reaches the whole REST API through 7 generic tools: reading, changing and destroying each have their own, so an app can let reads run and ask before the rest. A connection is offered the tools its level reaches anything through:
| Level | Tools offered |
|---|---|
| Read only | 3 |
| Manage | 7 |
| Full | 7 |
The descriptions below are the ones the server sends, word for word. An app reads them to decide which tool to call. Every call goes through the API, so the endpoint decides what the key level allows, as the API reference says for each.

wpl7_api_docs |
WPL7 API reference | Read only | Read-only |
wpl7_api_get |
Read from WPL7 | Read only | Read-only |
wpl7_wait_for_job |

wpl7_api_change |

wpl7_api_dangerous |

wpl7_read_site_file |

wpl7_write_site_file |

wpl7_api_docs
Section titled “wpl7_api_docs”WPL7 API reference. Offered from Read only up. It tells the app it only reads.
The reference for the WPL7 hosting panel’s REST API, which the other wpl7_ tools call. With no arguments: how the API works, its groups of endpoints and worked examples. {query: “backup”} searches; {group: “wp”} lists a group; {endpoint: “POST /api/sites”} gives one endpoint in full, with the exact JSON Schema of its path, query and body. Each endpoint names the tool that reaches it.
| Parameter | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
query |
string | No | Words to search the endpoints for, e.g. “plugin update”. |
group |
string | No | A group id from the overview, e.g. “sites”, “wp”, “backups”. |
endpoint |
string | No | One endpoint, e.g. “POST /api/sites/:slug/backups”. |
wpl7_api_get
Section titled “wpl7_api_get”Read from WPL7. Offered from Read only up. It tells the app it only reads.
Read from the WPL7 hosting panel’s REST API: sites, servers, jobs, backups, the WordPress inventory, mail, visitor traffic and settings. Takes an API path such as /api/sites or /api/sites/my-shop/wp/status (find paths with wpl7_api_docs). Changes nothing. Answers {status, endpoint, body}; select trims long lists to the fields you need.
| Parameter | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
path |
string | Yes | The endpoint path, e.g. /api/sites or /api/sites/my-shop/backups. |
query |
object | No | Query string parameters, e.g. {“limit”: 20, “status”: “failed”}. |
select |
list of strings | No | Keep only these fields (dotted paths allowed) of each item in the lists the answer holds, e.g. [“slug”, “status”]. |
wpl7_wait_for_job
Section titled “wpl7_wait_for_job”Wait for a WPL7 job. Offered from Read only up. It tells the app it only reads.
Wait for a job of the WPL7 hosting panel - what every 202 answer names - to finish, for up to timeoutSeconds (default 25, at most 50). Answers with its status, whether it is done, its result, the log lines after logAfter, and lastSeq to pass as the next logAfter. Call it again while done is false.
| Parameter | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
jobId |
integer | Yes | The job id from a 202 answer. |
logAfter |
integer, at least 0 | No | Only log lines after this lastSeq. Default 0. |
timeoutSeconds |
integer, 1 to 50 | No | How long to wait at most. Default 25. |
wpl7_api_change
Section titled “wpl7_api_change”Change something in WPL7. Offered from Manage up. It tells the app it makes changes, none of them destructive.
Make a change through the WPL7 hosting panel’s REST API that deletes and overwrites nothing and runs no command: create sites, take backups, install, activate and update plugins, themes and WordPress core, start and restart sites, switch PHP, add FTP logins, sign in to wp-admin, create folders. Whatever runs a command, deletes, overwrites or goes live goes through wpl7_api_dangerous. Slow work answers 202 with a job to follow with wpl7_wait_for_job. Find endpoints and their input with wpl7_api_docs; each names the tool that reaches it.
The description ends with a sentence about the connection:
- Manage: This connection has Manage access: everything inside the sites, but not the panel’s own servers, mail, offsite destinations, catalog, recipes and settings, nor the backup policy (built-in schedules, schedules that take backups, deleting backups) or deleting sites.
- Full: This connection has Full access: the panel itself too.
| Parameter | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
method |
one of POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE |
Yes | |
path |
string | Yes | The endpoint path, e.g. /api/sites or /api/sites/my-shop/backups. |
query |
object | No | Query string parameters, e.g. {“limit”: 20, “status”: “failed”}. |
body |
object | No | The JSON body; wpl7_api_docs gives its schema. |
wpl7_api_dangerous
Section titled “wpl7_api_dangerous”Destructive WPL7 call. Offered from Manage up. It tells the app it is destructive.
Call the endpoints of the WPL7 hosting panel’s REST API that it marks destructive - whatever runs a command, deletes, overwrites or takes a safety net away: WP-CLI, shell commands and WordPress REST requests in a site, and schedules of them; deleting plugins, themes, files, FTP logins and schedules; bulk runs, which can delete; moving, extracting or compressing files over others, or saving over them; resetting a WordPress or FTP password; going live or changing a site’s domains, which rewrites its address throughout its database; applying recipes; stopping sites; restoring backups; cancelling jobs - and, with Full access, deleting sites, backups, servers and offsite destinations, settings, DNS records and mail keys, setting servers up, switching backups off and updating the panel. Much of this cannot be undone: tell the user exactly what you are about to do before you do it.

wpl7_read_site_file
Section titled “wpl7_read_site_file”Read a site’s file. Offered from Manage up. It tells the app it only reads.
Read a text file of a WPL7 site - relative to its WordPress folder, e.g. wp-config.php or wp-content/themes/mytheme/functions.php - by line range, up to 2000 lines a call. Answers with the lines, the total count and an etag: pass the etag to wpl7_write_site_file, so a save never overwrites a change made in between. List a folder with wpl7_api_get /api/sites/{site}/files and query {path}.
| Parameter | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
site |
string | Yes | The site’s slug. |

Section titled “wpl7_write_site_file”Save a site’s file. Offered from Manage up. It tells the app it is destructive.
Save a whole text file of a WPL7 site, relative to its WordPress folder. Needs either the etag wpl7_read_site_file gave - refused if the file changed since - or createOnly: true for a new file, refused if one exists. There is no blind overwrite. A .php file is syntax-checked first and refused if it does not parse, so a typo cannot take the site down. content is the entire file.
| Parameter | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
site |
string | Yes | The site’s slug. |
path |
string | Yes | Relative to the site’s WordPress folder, e.g. wp-config.php or wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css. |
content |
string | Yes | The whole file. |
etag |
string | No | |
createOnly |
boolean | No | A new file: refused if the path exists. |
crlf |
boolean | No | Save with Windows line endings, as the read said the file had. |
WP Godmode
Section titled “WP Godmode”WP Godmode is a WordPress plugin with WP-CLI commands of its own, wp godmode …. The panel does not define them, so they are not listed here. A site answers with the plugin’s own guide for the version it runs, through the help endpoint below.

Work with WP Godmode on a site
Section titled “Work with WP Godmode on a site”Send a chat a message, wait while it works, answer what it asks and read the reply - what an admin does in the plugin’s own screen.
