**Any theme works with Bevel Kit.** The Bevel theme is the smallest, fastest foundation for it, but the Kit's theme builder takes over the header, footer, single and archive of whatever theme is active.

**Bevel MCP needs a reachable site.** claude.ai and ChatGPT connect from their cloud, so a site on your own machine works only with a desktop client such as Claude Code. See [Connecting an assistant](/mcp/connect).

## Server

* The [page cache](/kit/page-cache) writes to `wp-content/cache`, `wp-content/advanced-cache.php` and `wp-config.php`, and needs those to be writable while it is switched on.
* [WebP conversion](/kit/tools#webp-converter) needs GD with WebP support or Imagick; the panel says which it found.
* [Site kit import](/kit/tools#import-and-export) needs PHP's ZipArchive.
* Fonts and icon sets are written under `wp-content/uploads/bevel/`.

## Multisite

The plugins work per site. On a network, SVG uploads are allowed to users who manage the site's options, since the unfiltered-HTML capability is reserved to the network administrator.
