What MAMP is

MAMP is a local server environment for building, testing, and developing websites on macOS and Windows, including WordPress projects. Its stack includes Apache, Nginx, PHP, and MySQL. The free MAMP plan supplies the local server environment, while MAMP PRO adds project-management and development functions. PRO can create any number of websites with separate server and PHP configurations, set up WordPress with a database in one click, and reuse Blueprints. Snapshots save and restore project states, including databases. Laravel setup and built-in Composer support cover PHP frameworks and dependency management. PRO can transfer projects and databases between a local computer and a server and migrate WordPress installations. Cloud Connect supports Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. An integrated MCP server lets Claude Desktop access local sites, files, databases, and WP-CLI commands. MAMP also says local projects can be tested on mobile devices through its iOS MAMP Viewer app. The maker is MAMP GmbH in Wörth am Rhein, Germany.
