What works

Capabilities shipped today

Concrete features in the current MCP server release. Tool names link directly to the adapter.

  • Row, column, and module CRUD via the standard respira_find_element + respira_update_element flow.
  • Built-in modules (heading, text, button, photo, callout, pricing table, etc.) are fully supported; a content-field map ships for the 7 most-used module types.
  • 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.

Known limits

Where you still need a human pass

Honest list of edges. If you hit one of these, the snapshot workflow gives you a clean rollback path.

  • 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.

Tools

Beaver Builder uses the universal toolset

Beaver Builder edits run through Respira's universal tools: respira_find_element, respira_update_element, respira_update_page (for full-page replacement only), respira_get_snapshot, and respira_create_page_duplicate. See the complete tool catalog.

Example prompts

Three prompts you can paste right now

Each one assumes Respira is connected to your WordPress site through the MCP server below. Copy a prompt, paste into your MCP client, 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.

Setup

Connect Respira's MCP server

Drop this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf — any MCP-compatible client). Generate an API key from your Respira dashboard first.

Beaver Builder MCP server config 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "respira-wordpress": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@respira/wordpress-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "WORDPRESS_URL": "https://yoursite.com",
        "WORDPRESS_API_KEY": "respira_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Top-level font fields must stay PHP arrays, not stdClass — Respira normalizes this automatically since v7.0.25. If you write to Beaver via custom code outside Respira, mirror the same convention or the Visual Editor will lose font settings on save.
