What is WordPress Playground?
WordPress Playground allows users to experiment and build websites directly within a browser, eliminating the need for local setup.
By leveraging WebAssembly (WASM), it offers a seamless and secure environment that replicates a traditional hosting experience and streamlining workflows.
Work with AI agents
Turn an idea into a working WordPress site with an AI agent. Create content, explore plugins, and test changes in Playground. Choose the connection that fits your workflow, then inspect the results as you go.
Playground CLI + agent skills
Agent skills give your coding agent instructions for working with WordPress Playground. With the Playground skill, your agent can use Playground CLI to start local WordPress sites, run Blueprints, and test plugins and themes. Describe what you need, and let your agent handle the commands.
Playground MCP
Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to Playground with the local MCP server. Let your agent read and write files, run PHP, and work on the site open in your browser.
WebMCP
Open Playground in a browser that supports WebMCP. Your agent can discover tools on the page and work with your running WordPress site, without a separate MCP server.

Build a landing page for my business. Before building, ask me about my business, target audience, products or services, and what I want visitors to do.
Ask which colors and visual style I prefer, and whether I have a logo or brand guidelines. Wait for my answers, then build the page and show me the result in WordPress Playground.

Create a WordPress demo for testing different themes. Add varied sample content: blog posts with featured images, pages, headings, lists, quotes, tables, and image galleries. Use native WordPress blocks so each theme can style the content.
