WordPress Playground MCP connects Claude Code or Gemini CLI to a Playground instance running in your browser. The agent reads files, runs PHP and queries the database itself, which cuts out most of the copy-paste during plugin testing and debugging.
OpenAI prompt caching takes 90% off repeated tokens, but only for prefixes over 1,024 tokens and only when the static part of your prompt comes first. Here is a Python example plus the ordering mistake that kills cache hits.
