WordPress for Cowork

Managing multiple WordPress
sites from one Cowork

Every WordPress for Cowork plan — Solo, Agency, and Enterprise — supports connecting unlimited WordPress sites from the same Cowork installation. The plan tiers differ on how many human users (seats), not on how many sites.

Plan limits at a glance

  • Solo: 1 user seat, unlimited WordPress sites.
  • Agency: up to 5 user seats, unlimited WordPress sites.
  • Enterprise: per-seat (minimum 6 seats), unlimited WordPress sites.

The “seat” count is how many people can each hold an active license session — not how many WordPress sites you can connect. All plans are unlimited sites.

Adding a second (or third, or fiftieth) site

  1. Add the new domain to your Cowork allowlist. Cowork won’t let the plugin call any domain that isn’t on the list — same step as the first site. See Add your domain to the Cowork allowlist if you haven’t done this before.
  2. Fully close and reopen Cowork (Claude Desktop) after the allowlist change so the new domain takes effect.
  3. Run /wp-setup again. Instead of replacing your existing connection, the plugin offers to add a new connection alongside it.
  4. Pick a short alias (e.g. agency-main, client-foo) — you’ll use this to switch.
  5. Provide the new site’s URL and an Application Password for an administrator account on that site (Users → Profile → Application Passwords in WordPress).

Switching between sites

  • /wp-switch <alias> — explicit switch, e.g. /wp-switch client-foo.
  • Plain English also works: “switch to my agency site”, “work on the Smith client site now” — the plugin matches on alias or URL fragment.
  • The currently active site is shown when you run /wp-list or any other /wp- command.

Removing a site

Run /wp-setup and choose Remove a connection — pick the alias to disconnect. This deletes the stored Application Password from Cowork’s secret storage; it does NOT touch the WordPress site itself.

One seat, many sites

A Solo customer running 30 client WordPress sites under one license is a normal use case. The 2-device cap per seat is what stops abuse — you can hold up to 2 active devices, switching freely with /wp-switch. See License model — seats vs sites for the full breakdown.
