# Check your WordPress and PHP versions

See which WordPress and PHP versions your site runs, and if it’s time to update.

## Prompt

> Which versions of WordPress and PHP is my site running? Tell me if either one looks out of date.

## Steps for your agent

1. Call core/get-environment-info with no input.
2. Report wp_version, php_version and the environment type in plain words.
3. Say if a version looks old, but be clear your knowledge of the newest release may be out of date. Point to wordpress.org/download for the latest WordPress.
4. You only read here. Don’t try to update anything.

## Tools

- `core/get-environment-info` (reads only, through `jetpack-remote-abilities`): Read your WordPress, PHP and database versions.

Run each tool through the WordPress.com MCP server tool named next to it, with `action: "execute"`, `operation` set to the tool name, `wpcom_site` and `params`. Set `user_confirmed: true` only after the user approves a change.

## Before you start

- Free. Works on any Jetpack site running WordPress 6.9 or later.
- You need to be an administrator.

## Safety

Reads only. Nothing on your site changes.
