Thanks for adding the new sync tools to the MCP! ✨
I confirm I was able to push my site to https://staging-531d-sejasdotblog.wpcomstaging.com/
And the Agent is aware of all the new tools:
I'll create a follow-up issues to polish this flow. Currently the agent preferred to publish the website to a preview site and I had to enter the site url manually. I think we could make it easier for the user to pick or create a remote site.
Things we can improve in follow-ups:
| Prefers to use preview sites | Don't offer the list of remote sites |

* [skip ci] Code freeze: Update translatable strings for 1.7.8 * [skip ci] Code freeze: Add draft release notes for 1.7.8 * Add push/pull/import/export MCP tools for AI agents (#3022) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Sort studio code commands and subcommands alphabetically (#3027) * Moved the `code` command registration in `apps/cli/index.ts` so that top-level CLI commands appear in alphabetical order * Strip unnecessary fields in wpcom_request response (#3005) * Strip bloated plan.features from wpcom_request responses The WP.com /sites/{id} endpoint returns a plan object whose features sub-field alone is 60K+ characters, pushing the total response past Claude Code's ~100K character MCP tool result limit. The agent only needs product_slug, is_free, and expired to gate features, since the system prompt hardcodes what each plan tier can and can't do. Strip plan.features and keep only essential plan properties. * Also compact large array responses by stripping content and _links List endpoints like GET /templates can return 80K+ chars of block markup. Strip content and _links from array items when the response exceeds 80K chars — the agent can still identify items by slug/title and fetch individual ones for full content. * Add _fields prompt guidance and scope plan compaction as special case Add system prompt hint instructing the agent to use _fields on wp/v2 listing endpoints to minimize response sizes. Scope compactResponse() to only handle plan.features stripping with a clear comment that this is a special case (the API doesn't support sub-field filtering). Remove the generic array compaction in favor of prompt-driven field selection. * Add fields guidance for v1.1, rename stripOversizedFields Update system prompt to instruct the agent to use fields (v1.1) and _fields (wp/v2) to minimize response sizes, always including ID for v1.1 requests. Rename compactResponse to stripOversizedFields for clarity. * Remove indentation in JSON to save tokens * Fix dark mode visibility for error/success text in site list (#3034) * Fix dark mode onbiarding screen (#3025) Co-authored-by: Kateryna Kodonenko <kateryna@automattic.com> * Studio: Filter out deprecated warnings from fatal errors (#3018) * Filter out deprecated warnings from fatal errors * Ensure our error filtering approach is consistent with CLI * Apply changes to default exporter * Fix unit tests --------- Co-authored-by: Kateryna Kodonenko <kateryna@automattic.com> * [skip ci] Update translations * [skip ci] Bump version to 1.7.8-beta1 * CLI: ensure Studio root exists before starting code agent (#3039) * Ensure startAiAgent() checks whether ~/Studio exists before launching the Claude SDK. * Define a localeData type to fix lint error: The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize.
