# Corrected Final Report - MCP WordPress DXT Package
**Date**: 2025-10-08
**Version**: 2.10.2
**Status**: β
**ALL ISSUES RESOLVED & CORRECTED**
---
## Important Correction
**I was wrong about multi-site support!**
The user correctly pointed out that **DXT DOES support multi-site** via the `mcp-wordpress.config.json` file. This has been corrected in the final package.
---
## Issues Found & Fixed
### π΄ CRITICAL: Zod Version Mismatch (CORRECTLY FIXED)
**Error from log**: `keyValidator._parse is not a function`
**Root Cause**:
- package.json declared: `"zod": "^4.1.3"` (doesn't exist!)
- Actually installed: `zod@3.25.76` (from MCP SDK)
- Result: API mismatch causing **100% of tools to fail**
**Fix**:
```diff
- "zod": "^4.1.3"
+ "zod": "^3.25.0"
```
**Status**: β
**FIXED** - All tools now work
---
### β οΈ MEDIUM: Outdated Version (CORRECTLY FIXED)
**Issue**: Manifest showed v2.6.3 instead of v2.10.2
**Fix**: Updated manifest.json version to 2.10.2
**Status**: β
**FIXED**
---
### β οΈ MEDIUM: Multi-Site Documentation (CORRECTED)
**Original Fix** (WRONG): Removed multi-site claims, removed multi_site_management prompt
**User Correction**: Multi-site DOES work with DXT via config file!
**How Multi-Site Works in DXT**:
1. DXT package includes `mcp-wordpress.config.json.example`
2. Users copy it to `mcp-wordpress.config.json` in DXT directory
3. Server detects config file on startup
4. **Config file overrides UI single-site configuration**
5. All sites from config file are loaded
**Corrected Fix**:
- β
Updated description: "Supports single-site (via UI) and multi-site (via mcp-wordpress.config.json file)"
- β
**Restored** `multi_site_management` prompt with updated note
- β
Updated long_description to explain multi-site setup
- β
Created [DXT-MULTISITE-GUIDE.md](DXT-MULTISITE-GUIDE.md) documentation
**Status**: β
**CORRECTED**

## How Multi-Site Works (Corrected Understanding)
### Single-Site Mode (Default)
**Configuration**: Claude Desktop UI form
- WordPress Site URL
- Username
- App Password
- Auth Method
- Debug Mode
**Result**: ONE site configured via environment variables
### Multi-Site Mode (Advanced)
**Configuration**: Create `mcp-wordpress.config.json` file
**Location**: DXT installation directory
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/Claude Extensions/local.dxt.thomas-dyhr.mcp-wordpress/`
- Check logs for: "Current working directory: /path/to/dxt"
**Steps**:
1. Navigate to DXT directory
2. Copy: `cp mcp-wordpress.config.json.example mcp-wordpress.config.json`
3. Edit with your sites:
```json
{
"sites": [
{"id": "site1", "name": "Site 1", "config": {...}},
{"id": "site2", "name": "Site 2", "config": {...}},
{"id": "site3", "name": "Site 3", "config": {...}}
]
}
```
4. Restart Claude Desktop
**Result**: ALL sites loaded, UI config ignored
---
## Server Configuration Logic
From [src/config/ServerConfiguration.ts](src/config/ServerConfiguration.ts:89-100):
```typescript
public async loadClientConfigurations(mcpConfig?: McpConfigType): Promise<{
clients: Map<string, WordPressClient>;
configs: SiteConfig[];
}> {
const configPath = path.resolve(this.rootDir, "mcp-wordpress.config.json");
try {
await fsPromises.access(configPath);
// β
CONFIG FILE EXISTS - Load all sites (override UI)
if (ConfigHelpers.shouldLogInfo()) {
this.logger.info("Found multi-site configuration file", { configPath });
}
return await this.loadMultiSiteConfig(configPath);
} catch (_error) {
// β NO CONFIG FILE - Use environment variables (single-site)
if (ConfigHelpers.shouldLogInfo()) {
this.logger.info("Multi-site config not found, using environment variables");
}
return this.loadSingleSiteFromEnv(mcpConfig);
}
}
```
**Priority**:
1. **First**: Check for config file
2. **If found**: Multi-site mode (all sites loaded)
3. **If not found**: Single-site mode (UI settings)
---
## Updated Manifest
### Description
```json
"description": "Comprehensive WordPress management through 59 MCP tools with performance monitoring and intelligent caching. Supports single-site (via UI) and multi-site (via mcp-wordpress.config.json file)."
```
### Multi-Site Prompt (Restored)
```json
{
"name": "multi_site_management",
"description": "Multi-site WordPress administration workflow. Requires mcp-wordpress.config.json file in DXT directory. Check status of all sites, perform multi-site management tasks, and monitor performance across sites.",
"text": "I'm managing multiple WordPress sites using mcp-wordpress.config.json. Please help me:\n1. Check the status of all configured sites\n2. Perform multi-site management tasks\n3. Monitor performance across all sites\n4. Manage users and permissions consistently\n\nNote: Multi-site requires creating mcp-wordpress.config.json from the included example file."
}
```
### Long Description
Now includes:
```
## Multi-Site Support
**Single-Site (Easy)**: Configure one WordPress site through Claude Desktop UI during installation.
**Multi-Site (Advanced)**: Create `mcp-wordpress.config.json` in the DXT installation directory. Copy from included `mcp-wordpress.config.json.example` file, configure multiple sites, and restart Claude Desktop. The server will automatically detect and load all configured sites.
```
