Novamira HQ currently supports Kinsta, InstaWP, Pantheon, Pressable, WP Engine, Rocket.net, Hostinger, Cloudways, Plesk, xCloud, cPanel, and WHM. Available operations vary by provider. Plesk accounts can list hosted domains. An active WP Toolkit adds WordPress installation discovery, Novamira setup, WordPress backup and restore, and directional copying between two selected WordPress installations. Plesk copying requires an explicit database and/or WP Toolkit files scope; selected files and a separate search-and-replace step are not supported. WP Toolkit excludes WordPress configuration and server rewrite files from its default file copy. xCloud accounts list WordPress sites with their staging sites, and support backups, full-page cache purges, plugin and theme updates, access logs, and site events. The xCloud API cannot install plugins, create or push staging sites, or restore backups, so Novamira setup, pushes, and restores are not available there; install the Novamira plugin yourself and connect the site by URL. cPanel accounts connect with the HTTPS cPanel address (the panel URL, for example https://server.example.com:2083), the cPanel username and a cPanel API token. HQ lists WordPress installed at the root of each domain, creates and lists whole-account backups in the home directory, and shows the domain error log. An account backup counts against the account's disk quota. With WP Toolkit, HQ installs and activates Novamira through it. Without WP Toolkit, and only after you approve it, HQ uploads Novamira and a temporary installer that runs once when WordPress loads and then removes itself; when Novamira is already installed, HQ uploads only the temporary installer, no ZIP. This needs WordPress permalinks turned on. cPanel has no user-level API for restoring backups, clearing caches or changing PHP, so those actions are not available. WordPress installed in a subfolder is not listed.

WHM servers connect with the HTTPS WHM address (for example https://server.example.com:2087), the WHM user and that user's API token. With root, one profile covers every cPanel account on the server; with a reseller, the accounts that reseller owns. Site ids are <account>:<domain>. The operations, limits and temporary-installer approval are the same as cPanel's. HQ uses WP Toolkit for an account only when that account's feature list includes it; otherwise it reads the account's files and, after you approve it, sets up Novamira with the temporary installer, uploaded through a short-lived cPanel session that HQ logs out. That temporary installer path needs https://<WHM host>:2083 reachable from this computer with a valid certificate. WHM's WP Toolkit API does not accept reseller tokens, so a reseller's sites always use the temporary installer, which needs the reseller's create-user-session privilege; listing needs list-accts. A root token controls the whole server, so create one for HQ and revoke it from WHM » Development » Manage API Tokens.

How it works

1. Add a hosting account or a WordPress site.
2. Prepare and connect the sites you want to use.
3. Connect your AI to Novamira HQ from Configure your AI.

The dashboard and hosting integrations run on your computer. Your hosting and WordPress connections remain local to your device.

Install

Download the latest version from novamira.ai/hq.

• macOS: open the DMG and drag Novamira HQ to Applications.
• Windows: download and run the installer. It installs for your user account and needs no administrator rights.
• Linux: download and extract the Linux archive, then open novamira-hq-desktop.

The desktop app includes everything it needs. You do not need to install Node.js, npm, Deno, or any additional Novamira component.

Privacy and safety

• Hosting credentials stay on your device and are stored using the operating system's credential store.
• Novamira HQ does not store WordPress site tokens in its own configuration.
• The dashboard is available only on your computer, not on the public network.
• Destructive provider operations such as deleting sites, environments, backups, domains, or DNS records are not exposed.
• Pushes and restores require an explicit review and confirmation. Creating a backup is always a separate action.
