What works today. What still needs you.
Read from the current MCP server release, first-class reads and writes across the builder structure.
Works now
- Row, column, and module CRUD via the standard
respira_find_element+respira_update_elementflow. - All 41 modules Beaver Builder 2.10 registers are known by the fields Beaver itself declares, so the agent is never told a module or setting name Beaver does not have.
- The add_* tools (heading, text, button, image, video, lists, counters, progress bars, tabs, accordions, sliders, pricing tables, menus and more) render on the page: checked one by one against Beaver Builder 2.10.2.
- Top-level font fields (
{ family, weight }) are normalized to PHP arrays, not stdClass, keeps the Visual Editor from re-serializing on save (the v7.0.25 rule). - Beaver Themer layouts (header, footer, singular, archive) are listed and assignment rules are readable.
- Saved rows and saved templates: list + insert with automatic ID remapping.
- Beaver Builder Lite and the full plugin both detected.
Where a human still steps in
- Custom third-party Beaver modules without a content-field map fall back to raw-field writes. They work, but lose smart formatting. Custom map entries can be requested.
- Beaver Builder Assistant Pro features (cloud library, brand kits) are out of scope for the MCP. Edit assets through Beaver's own UI.
- Conditional logic on Themer layouts reads; complex rule trees need a human review pass before going live.
Hit one of these and the snapshot gives you a clean way back.
Beaver Builder runs on the universal tools.
Find, update, move and remove elements, build whole pages, snapshot and roll back. Reads return the builder structure and writes keep it intact.
Three prompts you can paste right now.
Each one assumes Respira is connected to a Beaver Builder site. Paste it into your AI tool and run.
-
Rebrand button colors site-wide
Find every Beaver Builder button module across all published pages. Change the background color from #006eff to #0a5cd5. Snapshot each page first. -
Fix heading hierarchy
For every page built with Beaver, list any case where an H3 appears before any H2 on the same page. Group by URL. -
Apply a saved row across landing pages
For every page in the "/lp-" prefix, insert the saved row "footer-cta" at the bottom of the layout. Skip pages that already contain it.
