What It Is
A Faster Way to Run MainWP Workflows.
MainWP Control is built for users who want more than point-and-click maintenance. It brings MainWP workflows into a scriptable command-line experience, making it easier to automate repetitive tasks across many WordPress sites. This aligns with MainWP’s public CLI positioning and the documented WP-CLI support for sites, updates, sync, reconnect, plugins, and themes.
Key Value
What Makes This Interesting for Agencies
MainWP Control helps agencies and technical teams manage updates, sync sites, check status, and run repeatable maintenance workflows from the command line with less manual effort and more consistency.
Built for Real Agency Workflows
Run the same maintenance workflows the same way every time, without depending on manual dashboard steps.
Faster Bulk Maintenance
When you manage many sites, repetitive actions add up fast. A command-line workflow helps teams move through syncs, checks, and updates with less friction.
Better for Automation
MainWP already exposes programmatic options through CLI, REST API, and the Abilities API, which makes automation a natural fit for more technical teams.
Developer-friendly by Design
MainWP publicly emphasizes hooks, filters, APIs, CLI, and self-hosted control, so MainWP Control naturally fits users who want to build their own operational workflows.
