Free vs Pro

Choose the capability level you need.

Ziflite MCP Free provides the core WordPress MCP experience. Pro adds advanced administration and deeper integrations through a separate add-on—without an MCP license-key system.

How Pro works

Ziflite MCP Pro is a separate WordPress add-on. The Free/Core plugin stays installed and active. When Pro is installed and activated, the additional Pro capability groups become available automatically.

No MCP activation server: there is no site-slot activation step and no MCP license key to enter.

Upgrade from Free to Pro

  1. Purchase Ziflite MCP Pro from Ziflite Studio.
  2. Download the Pro ZIP from your completed order or My Account.
  3. Keep Ziflite MCP Free/Core installed and active.
  4. Open Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  5. Upload the Pro ZIP and activate it.
  6. Open Ziflite MCP and refresh the capability report.
  7. Confirm that the Pro capability groups are now available.
Version compatibility matters: use a Free/Core version that meets the minimum required by the Pro release you install.

Before using advanced writes

Keep a recent backup and review higher-impact operations before approving them. Ziflite MCP intentionally separates safer inspection tasks from more powerful administration actions.

Return to Free

Deactivate the Pro add-on. The Free/Core plugin can remain active and the site returns to the Free capability set. This does not affect ZifChat or its separate licensing system.
