Agentic news Updated Jul 28, 2026
MCP 2026-07-28 is final. What changes for WordPress and Respira?
The stable specification removes protocol sessions, adds server discovery, hardens authorization, and formalizes extensions. Respira 8.1 implements it with a tested legacy path, while Webflow MCP 2.0 shows why production governance matters.

“Respira is one of the first plugins to bring Divi 5 directly into an AI workflow, building sections and modules from Claude straight into WordPress. The page build quality isn't quite at human-built-Divi level yet, though some of that may be user error on my end. Getting the agent to use native Divi elements rather than code-built sections took some direction at first. Once there, the results were a solid starting point to work from. Where it genuinely shines is everything outside of building, SEO auditing, bug checking, site advice, and having an AI agent that actually understands your WordPress setup. Early days, but worth testing out.”
“Avant Respira.press, travailler sur mon site WordPress avec Divi 4 était devenu une vraie perte de temps : modifications répétitives, copier-coller interminables, peur de casser le design en éditant les pages… Aujourd’hui, je peux demander directement des ajustements précis tout en conservant la structure et le style de mes pages. Pour un site comme le mien avec beaucoup de contenu SEO et de mises en page Divi, c’est un gain de temps énorme au quotidien.”
“So far I have been using Respira to bridge the communication gap between claude code and wordpress. Not too difficult to get up and running. Working great so far for a proof of concept I have been developing.”
Safety is a workflow
Your live site is never the experiment.
Respira can move quickly because control is built into the path: duplicate, inspect, approve, and keep the receipt.
- 01
Duplicate-first by default
Page edits begin on a working copy, so review happens before publication.
- 02
Review the exact change
Open the duplicate in WordPress and compare what the agent actually changed.
- 03
Restore from a snapshot
Page and element edits create recovery points before they alter content.
- 04
Approve with a receipt
Sensitive operations pause for consent and return an auditable result.
The difference
The infrastructure layer
Everything your AI needs to edit WordPress safely.
One plugin. 16 page builders. 210+ core tools and abilities, 310+ with WooCommerce. One control model from inspection through approval.

A safety path around write access
Duplicate-first page edits, snapshots, explicit approval boundaries, and receipts make agent work reviewable.

Respira vs the Official WooCommerce MCP: Which One, and Why Not Both
WooCommerce 10.9 shipped an official MCP with 7 core abilities for products and orders. Respira adds the other 49 tools, a safety envelope (snapshots, dry-run, approvals), and builder-aware storefront editing, and coexists with the official abilities instead of replacing them. Honest head-to-head.

Plain answers
Questions, answered without the pitch.
The short version: Respira gives AI a bounded way to inspect and change WordPress. These are the details people usually need before connecting a site.
Start and connect
Do I need to be a developer?
No. Respira is designed around plain-language instructions and reviewable results. Technical users can go deeper, but the normal path is: connect a site, ask for the change, inspect it, and approve it.
What is the quickest way to connect?
Install Respira for WordPress, then use the account-aware setup in your MCP dashboard. Local MCP users can also run the one-line installer shown near the top of this page.
Which AI clients work with Respira?
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients can use the desktop or remote MCP connection. Browser WebMCP is also built into the plugin, but the browser standard remains experimental and needs a compatible browser and agent configuration.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The public trial gives you seven days of full product use without a purchase. Current plan, billing, and refund details always live on the pricing page.
Safety and control
What happens if an agent makes a bad edit?
Page work is duplicate-first by default, and supported edits create snapshots. You can review the duplicate before publication and restore a recovery point when needed.
Does Respira make every agent action risk-free?
No software can make unrestricted production access risk-free. Respira reduces risk with scoped tools, authentication, duplicate-first editing, snapshots, explicit approvals for sensitive operations, and audit receipts. You should still keep recoverable host backups.
Does Respira scan security and accessibility?
Yes. The dashboard includes a WCAG-oriented accessibility scanner and a reviewed WordPress vulnerability scanner. Both produce evidence and a guided fixing path. Security remediation needs the Respira plugin because version, checksum, user, plugin, and file evidence comes from inside WordPress.
Does Respira publish changes automatically?
The normal page-editing path does not. It creates a duplicate for review, and publication is a separate decision. Other write operations are bounded by their own capability and approval rules.
Coverage
How much of WordPress can it work with?
The source-derived catalog currently contains 210+ core tools and abilities, or 310+ with WooCommerce. A live site sees the subset that matches its installed products and active builder.
Which page builders are supported?
Respira currently ships support for 16 builders and WordPress platforms, including Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Flatsome, Brizy, Visual Composer, Thrive Architect, Spectra, Kadence Blocks, GenerateBlocks, and SeedProd.
Does the AI edit inside the visual builder canvas?
It edits the builder’s native stored structure through WordPress, then the visual builder renders that structure normally. You continue to use the builder UI for visual review.
Why can my live MCP tool count be lower than the headline?
The 303-tool desktop surface is context-filtered. Respira hides tools for builders and add-ons that the connected site cannot run, so a Gutenberg-only site receives a smaller, safer list.
Architecture
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol is a standard way for an AI client to discover and call external tools. Respira implements the WordPress side, including authentication, site context, approval boundaries, and receipts.
How is Respira different from a generic WordPress MCP connection?
Respira adds builder-aware operations, duplicate-first workflows, snapshots, approval gates, remote account connections, audit history, and product-specific tools. Compare capabilities and safety behavior, not just whether both products speak MCP.
Do I need SSH or a particular host?
No. The standard connection runs through the WordPress plugin and authenticated web APIs. Some host-level incident-response steps, such as inspecting server logs or rotating database credentials, still require your hosting provider.
Does Respira include the AI model subscription?
No. Respira is the WordPress infrastructure and control layer. Your AI client or model subscription remains separate.

How to Safely Use Cursor with WordPress
Respira is the best way to safely let Cursor edit your WordPress site. The plugin creates duplicate pages before any edits, ensuring your live site is never touched until you review and approve changes.
WordPress MCP Alternative
Respira combines MCP connectivity with authenticated, builder-aware WordPress write operations. Its duplicate-first workflow and approval boundaries make those operations reviewable before publication.
Non-Developer WordPress AI Editing
Respira makes it possible for non-developers to use AI to edit WordPress sites. No coding knowledge required - just tell your AI assistant what you want in plain English, review the changes, and approve when ready.
Now with a command line
Respira CLI for WordPress is the modern WordPress command line for developers working with AI coding agents. Builder-native. Works on every managed host. No SSH.
npm install -g @respira/cliNow with a team
Invite your team and each person connects their own AI agent to your sites, signed in as themselves. You and your first member are free forever. After that a seat is €5 a month and only bills in the months it is actually used. Quiet months cost nothing.
