WordPress and Same-QR: Meaningfully combining the plugin, API, and assistant

What the plugin does

The Same-QR WordPress plugin registers every page of your website and every move of a page, including what is not in any sitemap. Same-QR uses this for two things: It checks the targets of your QR codes at night, and after a relaunch, it suggests the new address for affected QR codes. Changes are only made when you confirm. The plugin is in Beta and belongs to the Pro tariff and above.

Step 1: Install the plugin

• Download the plugin's ZIP file in the dashboard, do not unpack it.
• In WordPress: Plugins, Install, Upload Plugin, choose file, Install Now, Activate.
• In the WordPress menu, click on "Same-QR" and then on "Connect with Same-QR" and allow.

The plugin receives its own website key. It may only reconcile this one website, cannot delete QR codes, and cannot change other websites. It is intentionally not suitable for the REST API.

When the API comes into play

The plugin keeps the mapping between the website and the QR codes up to date. For everything beyond that, there is the REST API at /api/v1 and the command line sameqr, with a dedicated key from the account, Access for CLI, scripts and agents:

• Create many QR codes for new pages at once.
• Bring scan numbers into your own reporting.
• Maintain hosted pages or menus that are not hosted on WordPress.

Agents in WordPress workflows

If you develop WordPress themes or plugins with a coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, integrate Same-QR as an MCP server. The agent then sees both the QR code and the QR codes, and can check which QR codes point to the pages you are currently modifying. „sameqr mcp“ displays the relevant entries.

Relaunch with WordPress

• Before: Save the current status of the QR codes with „sameqr qr list --json“.
• During: Set up redirects in WordPress as usual.
• After: Review and confirm Same-QR’s suggestions in the dashboard.
• Redirect QR codes without a suggestion using an agent or CLI.
• Scan some QR codes with your mobile phone.

Which role for what

• Website key of the plugin: only for verifying this website.
• Read-only key: reports and evaluations.
• “read + write” key: scripts and agents that create QR codes and pages.
• “full” key: workflows that change targets, with confirmation and at most 10 per hour.

Conclusion: why Same-QR

Same-QR thinks WordPress with: a plugin that knows every page and every move, suggestions after the relaunch that you only confirm, and also API, CLI and MCP server for everything else. This way, printed QR codes and website stay together, even if the addresses change.
