Murmur: how client feedback on the page came to life

An agency owner had trustees reviewing a staging site and no good way to collect what they said. Two days later the plugin mints a signed link that opens the page with a review bar, every note lands anchored to its element, and the agent applies the notes on a duplicate. How Murmur was built, why it has that name, and what shipped in plugin 8.9.0.

WebMCP: the agent is on the page now. And the draft finally travels.

WebMCP put the agent on the same page as you: open a WordPress site in ChatGPT's browser and it stages edits, waits for approval, and rolls back. Every staged draft now returns a login-free preview link you can send to anyone. How both shipped, including the five bugs between the spec and a working page.
