I'm not technical. Will this work for me?

Yes! If you can chat with ChatGPT, you can use Respira. No coding knowledge required.

Which AI tool should I use?

Any! ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex, or others. They all work with Respira.

How do I safely use Cursor with WordPress?

Respira creates a safety layer between Cursor and your WordPress site. It uses a duplicate-first workflow - Cursor edits duplicate pages, not your originals. You review and approve changes before they go live. This is the best way to let AI edit live WordPress site safely.

What if AI breaks my site?

It can't. AI only updates duplicate pages. Your live site is never touched until you review and approve the changes. This safety layer ensures you don't break existing pages.

Which WordPress page builders are supported?

Gutenberg, Divi, Elementor, WPBakery, Oxygen, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Brizy, Visual Composer, and Thrive Architect. Each builder has its own Intelligence package for full AI understanding.

Does Respira require SSH access?

No! Respira works with any WordPress hosting, even shared hosts. No SSH, no server access needed. Just install the plugin and connect your AI.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the language AI uses to talk to WordPress. You don't need to understand it - Respira handles it automatically. It's like a translator between your AI and WordPress.

Respira vs official WordPress MCP?

Official MCP is basic and read-only. Respira adds safety (duplicates first), security checks, page builder support, audit logs, and works on any hosting - even shared hosts without SSH access. Unlike WordPress MCP, Respira enables safe WRITE operations through duplicate-first workflow and page builder intelligence.

How many sites can I use Respira on?

Starter plan: 1 WordPress site. Agency plan: up to 20 WordPress sites. All plans are 1-year licenses with full updates and support included.

Can I try before paying?

Yes! Start with a 7-day free trial. No credit card required. If you like it, pay for 1 year of updates and support.

For agents · For users teaching agents

Your agent can search this directory directly.

The directory itself is open to any agent today via a CORS-open JSON endpoint. Respira's v7.1 release adds an MCP-native search tool on top that knows whether each ability is installed and inhaled on the agent's current site, so the agent can call it directly with one tool. Both paths cover the same 163 abilities.

Option 1 · Pure HTTP, works today

Any agent can fetch the directory directly

The directory ships as a CORS-open JSON endpoint. Any agent on any platform can read it without parsing HTML, without auth, without MCP.

GET https://www.respira.press/abilities/data.json
Content-Type: application/json
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Also discoverable via /llms.txt

Option 2 · MCP-native · Coming in Respira v7.1

A search tool with per-site context

When Respira v7.1 ships, every agent connected to Respira gets a tool called wordpress_search_abilities that searches the same directory and enriches each result with per-site flags: is the plugin installed, is the ability inhaled, what is the install URL if not. The agent then calls the ability via wordpress_invoke_ability with Respira's snapshot-before-write safety wrap layered on top.

Install Respira · v7.1 release notes

Option 3 · Drop into your agent's system prompt

Paste this block into Claude / Cursor / Codex / etc.

Tells your agent to fetch the directory directly. Works today against any agent that can make HTTP requests, regardless of whether you have Respira installed.

You have access to the WordPress Abilities API directory at:
  https://www.respira.press/abilities/data.json

Fetch this JSON whenever the user asks "is there a WordPress ability / plugin that does X"
or "how do i automate Y on WordPress". The directory enumerates 163 abilities
across Elementor, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, Jetpack, ACF, Akismet, and 150+ Respira tools.

Each result includes:
- ability_name, plugin_name, plugin_slug, category, label, description
- is_write (whether it mutates the site)
- input_schema_keys (the args the ability accepts)
- is_installed (is the plugin active on the current site)
- is_inhaled (has the admin opted the ability into Respira's MCP surface)
- install_url (wp.org page when not installed)
- inhale_admin_url (Respira admin tab when installed but not inhaled)
- how_to_invoke (the exact next tool call when ready)

Reading the directory tells you which plugins expose which abilities. You then guide the user
to install or activate the plugin they need, or to use a tool they already have.

If the user has Respira v7.1 installed, an MCP-native search tool will be available with
per-site context (is_installed, is_inhaled, install_url, inhale_admin_url, how_to_invoke).
Until then, the JSON above is the canonical source.

For plugin developers

How to expose your plugin's abilities

You don't need a custom MCP integration. The WordPress Abilities API is the canonical surface; once your plugin registers an ability, every MCP-aware site (including every site running Respira) can call it.

Install the mcp-adapter package

The WordPress/mcp-adapter package is the active implementation of the Abilities API. There's also a packaged plugin at wordpress.org/plugins/mcp-adapter for sites that want it as a standalone install. WordPress 6.9+ ships the function wp_register_ability in core.

Register an ability

Call wp_register_ability with a namespace, an ability name, a description, an args schema, and an execute callback. Weston Ruter's April 2026 walkthrough remains the cleanest reference implementation.

add_action( 'wp_abilities_api_init', function () {
  wp_register_ability( 'my-plugin/get-thing', array(
    'label'       => 'Get Thing',
    'description' => 'Returns the current value of Thing.',
    'input_schema'  => array( /* JSON Schema */ ),
    'output_schema' => array( /* JSON Schema */ ),
    'execute_callback' => function ( $args ) {
      return array( 'thing' => get_option( 'my_plugin_thing' ) );
    },
  ) );
} );

Test it through Respira's Inhale gateway

Install Respira on a test site, open Respira › MCP Abilities, and toggle your ability on. Connect Claude Code or any MCP-capable agent. The ability is now a callable tool with snapshot-before-write protection layered on top — the ability's own behaviour is unchanged.

Optional · For Respira add-ons

A faster path: the Respira Add-on SDK

The Respira Add-on SDK is a thin wrapper over wp_register_ability that handles the boilerplate (validation, error envelopes, per-tool risk_level) and adds Respira-specific conveniences (governance gate, first-class audit log integration, the approval queue for risky writes). You write a ToolDescriptor; the SDK calls wp_register_ability for you. Same underlying standard, less boilerplate.

SDK on GitHub Read the spec Hello-addon example

Inhale · The Respira gateway

One toggle. Any plugin. Snapshot-safe.

Inhale is the small surface inside Respira that lets admins opt third-party abilities into the MCP server's public catalogue. Every inhaled ability runs through Respira's safety wrapper: snapshot before any write, structured error envelopes on failure, audit-log entry for every call, per-tool wall-clock budget, and a one-click rollback URL in the response when a snapshot was captured.

That's the unique sell of running Respira's MCP server in front of the Abilities API: you get every plugin's abilities plus the safety net Respira built for its own tools. The cap on inhaled abilities (default 30) keeps the agent context window tight enough that tool selection stays accurate.

About Inhale Install Respira

New in 7.1 · Connect by link

Reach these abilities from anywhere

The abilities your site exposes can now be reached by a remote web client over a link. Connect Claude or ChatGPT to the abilities your site exposes with a link and a key, nothing to install. It works from the web or your phone, and every call still runs through the same Inhale safety wrapper: snapshot before any write, structured errors, and an audit-log entry.

For maintainers

Your plugin not on this list?

If you've shipped wp_register_ability in your canonical source and aren't listed here, that's a curation gap, not a rejection. The list is hand-audited from GitHub code search every few weeks. Open an issue on the Respira Add-on SDK repo with the source link and we'll add you on the next pass. If you'd like to discuss your design before publishing, questions there are also welcome.
