Installation & setup

Install the plugin

Install SurgeWP like any other plugin:

  1. After purchasing you can find the plugin download on your account screen.
  2. Upload the plugin ZIP to your website
  3. Activate SurgeWP with your license key (provided in your email)

Add your AI provider keys

Navigate to SurgeWP → Settings and add your LLM provider API keys.

SurgeWP supports multiple providers, so you can add one key or multiple keys depending on your workflow.

Best practice: Add at least two providers so you can swap models when one performs better for a particular kind of request.

Model selection is per request

SurgeWP lets you choose the model when you run the request, rather than forcing a single global model. This matters because:

  • Some models are better at planning and structure
  • Others are better at refactoring code
  • Others are faster for quick edits and small fixes
