Cloudways exposes raw VPS-level WordPress, which is great — Cowork Bridge is compatible out of the box. One setting to know about.
Application Firewall
Cloudways’ Application Firewall sometimes flags rapid REST calls (Claude running through a bulk task, for example). If you hit it:
- Cloudways Platform → Settings & Packages → Application Settings → Application Firewall.
- Add
wordpressforcowork.comto the allowlist.
CDN
Cloudways’ CDN automatically bypasses REST API requests, so reads through Claude are always fresh.
Install
wp-admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload cowork-bridge.zip, Activate. Run /wp-setup in Cowork. Check the Cowork status page for green rows.
