Frequently asked questions

What dependencies are required?

VS Code 1.74.0 or higher and a WordPress installation that the extension can access. Node.js and npm are needed for development.

How does the extension find the WordPress installation?

It automatically searches for a `wp-config.php` file starting from the current directory up through parent directories.

What are the known limitations?

PHP serialization parsing is simplified and may not handle all serialized data formats. The database connection needs to close properly when VS Code shuts down.

Does the extension require any additional settings?

No, it doesn't require any additional settings.

How can I test the MCP integration?

Use the `@wordpress` mention in the VS Code chat interface with queries like "What is the database name in wp-config.php?" or "Show me active plugins."
