Summary
The site-side plugin is what buys the reach — and it is also what you are installing on a live site.
WordPress's REST API covers less than people expect, particularly around SEO fields and redirects, which live in other plugins. A companion plugin closes that gap, at the cost of putting code on the server you are trying to manage. Multi-site config is the practical draw for anyone running client sites — one connection, many installations — and the same reason to be careful: a mistake reaches all of them. Scope the WordPress user, not just the connection.
What it is
A proxy server that sits between the agent and a WordPress installation, talking to a companion plugin on the site itself rather than only to the REST API.
What you get
- Posts, pages and media management
- SEO fields, comments and redirects
- Multi-site configuration, so one connection reaches several installations
Requirements
Python for the proxy, plus a must-use plugin installed on each WordPress site. MIT licensed.
