Overview

The WP Theme Audit MCP server scans WordPress themes for common issues and produces prioritized plans for remediation. It analyzes theme files, structures, and functions to flag problems like deprecated code, accessibility gaps, and optimization opportunities.

Key Capabilities

  • Theme auditing: Examines theme code, templates, stylesheets, and assets for errors, warnings, and best practice deviations.
  • Prioritized fix planning: Ranks identified issues by severity (critical, high, medium, low) and suggests step-by-step remediation actions with estimated effort levels.

Use Cases

  1. Pre-deployment review: Run an audit on a custom theme before uploading to production to catch security flaws and performance drags.
  2. Theme update validation: After updating a third-party theme, audit for breaking changes or new incompatibilities with the current WordPress version.
  3. Agency quality checks: Audit client themes during handoff to ensure compliance with coding standards and SEO best practices.
  4. Ongoing maintenance: Schedule periodic audits for active sites to prioritize fixes for emerging issues like PHP compatibility.

Who This Is For

WordPress developers building or customizing themes, digital agencies managing multiple sites, and site administrators focused on long-term theme health without deep coding expertise.
