Give your WordPress one AI brain.
SEO, security, speed and email in one AI-native suite — run it from Claude or ChatGPT. Replaces Yoast, Wordfence, WP Rocket and Mailchimp. One license, on your server, with your data.
Free forever on unlimited sites. Bring your own AI key, or use Cortex AI credits.
Proof, not promises
We run Cortex on our own newsroom.
Every number here is live from voice.lapaas.com — our AI news site, run entirely on the Cortex suite.
All figures pulled live from our production install. Real data, self-hosted — the same thing Cortex does for your site.
The core idea
Disconnected plugins can't help each other.
One brain can.
A typical WordPress site runs a stack of plugins that each solve one job and never talk. Cortex is one organism: five tools reasoning off a single shared memory, so a signal in one becomes an action in another.
Four plugins, four silos
- Security finds a poisoned post — SEO never hears about it
- You change a URL — redirects break and 404s pile up
- You publish news — the newsletter is a separate chore
- Four logins, four bills, four data boundaries
Five tools, one memory
- Security flags a file — SEO knows which post to clean
- A URL changes — the redirect writes itself
- Radar drafts the news — Newsletter sends it, same breath
- One login, one bill, one boundary you control
What's inside
Five real tools. Each earns its place.
Every one is a complete product on its own — the shared brain is the bonus, not the excuse. No tool here is a demo.
Rank in Google. Get cited by AI.
Titles, meta, and rich schema through 404 cleanup, rank tracking and sitemaps — plus content built to be quoted by AI answers.
- Rich schema: FAQ, HowTo, Video, Local, custom
- Redirects, 404 sweep & broken-link audit
- Rank tracking, hreflang, robots, orphan report
- 50+ meta variables, bulk edit, AI image SEO, social cards
A firewall that explains itself.
AI-native protection — WAF, malware and core-integrity scanning, CVE matching — with incidents unpacked in plain English.
- Firewall / WAF + brute-force protection
- Malware, core-integrity & known-vulnerability scans
- Encrypted 2FA, login hardening, trusted devices
- Security headers, activity log, posture scoring
Fast pages that watch your server.
Full-page caching and modern image delivery, with load-aware regulation that eases off before a traffic spike takes you down.
- Full-page cache, GZIP / Brotli compression
- Image compression + WebP / AVIF conversion
- Asset & media optimization, cache preloading
- Database cleanup + server-load regulation
Your own email platform.
A full self-hosted email stack — lists, automations and analytics — with no per-contact bill hanging over your list.
- Subscribers, segments, open/click/unsub tracking
- Automations & sequences with engagement branching
- A/B testing and a built-in AI writer
- Free delivery over Telegram — email, Telegram, or both
An AI agent that runs your site.
Connect Claude or any MCP client and it operates your whole site — reading and writing content and running the other four tools.
- Read & write posts, pages and media
- Drive SEO, security, speed and email directly
- Manage an editorial calendar and more
- One token from wp-admin — no repeated logins
Say it once. The brain does the rest.
These aren't canned answers — they're real actions the agent performs the second you ask, across every module.
- Works with Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client
- Real WP-CLI, REST and file access — not a chatbot

Why it's different
Not "a plugin with a chatbot."
A suite with one mind.
Four things separate Cortex from a folder full of single-purpose plugins.
One shared brain
Every tool draws on the same AI memory. A finding in security informs SEO; Radar's output flows into Newsletter. Point-solution AI can't see past its own plugin.
Self-hosted, your data
It runs on your server. Bring your own AI key and run fully unmetered, or buy Cortex AI credits — either way nothing leaves that you didn't authorize.
Built for AI search
Content is graded for citability and your site publishes a structured /llms.txt that ChatGPT and Perplexity can read — so you get cited, not just ranked.
Agent-operable
The whole suite is exposed over the Model Context Protocol. Any MCP client can drive all five tools from a single instruction — GPL software, one license.
Under the hood
Real dashboards, not marketing mockups.
Every screen here is the actual Cortex admin, captured live — one console for all five tools.
Source Radar: a newsroom, not a template library.
Radar tracks sitemaps, clusters the same story across sources, and — on 24×7 autopilot — drafts schema-complete, internally-linked articles built to be cited by AI answers.
- Sitemap tracking → clustering → unattended drafting
- Live content grading — readability, keyphrase, AI-citability
- AI-matched 404 → redirect, applied in bulk
- News + image sitemaps at your existing URL
Incidents explained, not just alerted.
Real WAF, login hardening and malware scanning — plus an AI that unpacks obfuscated malware in plain English and checks whether a CVE is actually reachable on your exact setup.
- Recursive malware deobfuscation, explained clearly
- CVE triage scored against what's actually live
- AI code audit for any installed plugin
- Incident response that names the real rogue admin
And it's one console, not five plugins in a trench coat — every module reports into the same Cortex hub.
The whole picture
One brain. Five hands.
Not five chatbots that ignore each other — one shared intelligence with five tools reporting in and taking orders back.
Getting started
Up and running in three steps.
No migration project, no consultant. The importers do the heavy lifting.
One upload from wp-admin activates SEO, security, speed and newsletter together — sane defaults from the first minute.
One-click importers read your existing SEO, security and cache plugins' settings, map them across, and keep your sitemap URLs intact.
Generate a token, paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client — and run the whole site by instruction from then on.
One price for the whole stack
One license. Not four subscriptions.
Free covers the core on unlimited sites. Paid plans add full automation, the complete agent surface and AI quota — for less than the plugins you're replacing, combined.

Straight answers
The questions everyone asks.
Is Cortex really self-hosted?
Yes. All five tools run inside your own WordPress on your own server — no proxy, no middleman. The only thing that reaches out is the AI provider you choose, and only when you invoke it.
Where does my data go? Is it private?
It stays on your server. Cortex sends nothing out that you didn't authorize. AI calls go to the provider you pick — your own key, or Cortex AI credits — and nowhere else.
Bring my own AI key, or buy credits?
Either. Point Cortex at your own API key and run fully unmetered with no billing from us, or buy Cortex AI credits (metered on gpt-5.4, top-ups never expire). You can switch anytime.
Which tools do I get?
All five, on one license: SEO, Security, Speed, Newsletter, and the MCP AI agent. Free covers the core; Pro and Agency unlock full automation, the complete agent surface and AI quota.
Is it GPL? Will switching hurt my SEO?
It's GPL-2.0-or-later software. Migration is non-destructive: one-click importers read your existing SEO, security and cache plugins, and Cortex serves sitemaps at your existing URL, so Google needs no re-submission.
Do I need to be technical to use the AI agent?
No — the agent is optional power. The whole suite runs from wp-admin. Connect Claude or ChatGPT only when you want to operate the site by instruction, using one token you generate yourself.
