Overview
About AutomagicWP
AutomagicWP is the definitive private distribution platform built to liberate WordPress developers and agencies from the manual, soul-crushing grind of plugin and theme updates. Forget the endless cycle of building ZIP files, logging into countless wp-admin dashboards, and manually uploading updates one by one. AutomagicWP replaces that archaic workflow with a single, powerful command center. You upload a release once, and every connected WordPress site updates itself automatically through WordPress's native update mechanism. It's not just a tool; it's a strategic advantage designed for those who build and manage WordPress products at scale. Whether you're a solo developer tired of the "ZIP loop," an agency managing a portfolio of client sites, or a creator distributing a premium plugin without the overhead of a full e-commerce platform, AutomagicWP delivers professional-grade distribution, complete with changelogs, version history, and seamless CI/CD integration. This is distribution, automated and battle-tested for the real world.
About Playwriter
AI agents cannot browse the web properly. They either have no browser access, or they get a fresh Chrome with no logins, no extensions, and instant bot detection. Playwriter gives them your actual browser session instead. One Chrome extension, full automation API, everything you are already logged into. Includes accessibility snapshots (5-20KB instead of 100KB+ screenshots), a debugger with breakpoints, live code editing, network interception, and video recording. Works with any MCP client: Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and more. Open source, MIT licensed.
