## Description
Standalone Lite with four read-only tools: site discovery, authenticated probe, up to ten page/article metadata entries and supplied JSON node counts. No editing, exports or Pro code. Pro sold separately: Base EUR 49/year for 3 sites, 12 months, manual renewal.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **yootheme_lite_list_sites** — aliases and platforms only.
- **yootheme_lite_ping_site** — one authenticated GET, sanitized status only.
- **yootheme_lite_list_pages** — List at most ten page/article titles, ids and status; no content export.
- **yootheme_lite_summarize_layout** — pass the text from `layout.example.json`

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "gmc-yootheme-mcp-lite": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","gmc-yootheme-mcp-lite"]
  }
}
```

YOOtheme MCP Base costs **EUR 49/year** for three sites (12 months, manual renewal). See [current plans](https://fuerteventuratv.net/en/cms/yootheme-mcp).

Lite is free to use under the [limited commercial licence](https://github.com/gmcfuerte/yootheme-mcp-lite/blob/HEAD/LICENSE).
Source visibility does not grant redistribution or resale rights.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.10 or newer. WordPress REST API with an Application Password, or Joomla Web Services with a token. YOOtheme remains a separately licensed product. The generic page list does not prove YOOtheme is installed; layout counts operate on JSON you supply.

## Install from GitHub

```console
git clone https://github.com/gmcfuerte/yootheme-mcp-lite.git
cd yootheme-mcp-lite
python -m venv .venv
```

Windows:

```console
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install .
```

macOS/Linux:

```console
.venv/bin/python -m pip install .
```

This Lite edition is distributed through this GitHub repository; it has
not been published to PyPI. Do not install the separate full Pro package
as a substitute for Lite.

## Configure

1. Copy `sites.example.json` to a **local** `sites.json` and keep only the
   sites you own or are authorized to access. The file is ignored by Git.
2. Set the credential environment variables named by `username_env`,
   `password_env`, and the applicable Joomla token/key field. Never put
   credential values in committed JSON or an MCP chat.
3. Set `YOOTHEME_MCP_LITE_SITES` to the absolute path of that local JSON file.
4. Add the server using `mcp.example.json`: replace the placeholders with
   the absolute Python executable and configuration file paths. Ensure
   the MCP client passes the credential variables to its child process.
5. Start with `yootheme_lite_list_sites`, then `yootheme_lite_ping_site`.

`rest_mode: "query"` supports WordPress without pretty REST URLs; otherwise
use `pretty`. Subdirectory installations are supported in the base URL.

## Tools

- `yootheme_lite_list_sites`: aliases and platforms only.
- `yootheme_lite_ping_site`: one authenticated GET, sanitized status only.
- `yootheme_lite_list_pages`: List at most ten page/article titles, ids and status; no content export.
- `yootheme_lite_summarize_layout`: pass the text from `layout.example.json`
  as `layout_json`. Returns counts and types; no settings or content.

The server runs locally using **stdio**. No remote HTTP server, uploads,
arbitrary URLs, SSH, license switch or Pro modules are included. Online
tools use a fixed GET allowlist, verified TLS, no redirects, at most one
request at a time per configured base URL, a two-second interval, and a
1 MiB response limit. HTTP is accepted only for exact loopback hosts.
HTTP 403/415 stops subsequent requests to that base URL until restart.

## Release status

Initial Lite release: source and package contents inspected and Python
compiled. Site integration and runtime tests have not been performed.
Do not treat this initial release as a production integration certification.
