# Respira for Claude Cowork is live: edit live WordPress… > A new Claude Cowork plugin that lets Claude edit live WordPress sites across 16 page builders, with snapshot before every edit and one-click rollback. Source: https://www.respira.press/blog/claude-cowork-launch --- Respira for WordPress is now a Claude Cowork plugin. If you have Claude on your desktop and a WordPress site, you can talk to Claude in plain English and have it edit the site for you, safely, across twelve different page builders. Today is day one. The full product page lives at [respira.press/cowork](https://www.respira.press/cowork). This post is the story of how it got here, what it actually does, and what to expect over the next few weeks. ## What it is, in one paragraph You install one plugin in Claude Cowork. You run `/respira:connect-site` once. From that point on, you can ask Claude to edit any page on any of your connected WordPress sites, and it will. No terminal, no REST plumbing, no copy-pasting between windows. Every edit is bracketed by a snapshot before, a render check after, and a one-command rollback if you do not like what you see. The same Respira engine that runs across 747 production WordPress sites is now sitting inside your Claude conversation. ## What ships in the v1.0 plugin - **Eight slash commands.** connect-site, edit-page, add-section, duplicate-page, preview-changes, audit-site, undo-last-change, help. You can ignore them all and just talk to Claude in plain English. They are accelerators, not gates. - **Thirty bundled skills.** Four always-on workflow skills for safety, builder detection, [multi-site](https://www.respira.press/docs/guides/multi-site-management) context, and posture. Ten audit and optimizer skills covering site DNA, technical debt, mobile experience, SEO and AEO, internal linking, content portability, image optimization, WooCommerce health, onboarding, and setup. Sixteen full-site builder migrations, every Elementor and Divi and Oxygen and WPBakery and Beaver and Brizy and Thrive and Visual Composer migration target. - **The full Respira tool catalog.** Every adapter, every audit, every safe write, exposed to Claude through the bundled MCP server. - **Twelve page builders.** Elementor, Divi 4, Divi 5, Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Flatsome UX, Brizy, Thrive Architect, Gutenberg. The one you use is the one Respira can edit. ## Why it matters that the safety bar is in the plugin The honest version: AI tools that edit production WordPress sites have a credibility problem. Most either ask the user to set up staging and merge by hand, or they edit live and pray. The first is friction. The second is a disaster waiting to happen. Respira has spent the past year solving this in a way that lets the AI move fast and the site stay safe: snapshot first, write second, render-validate third, partial-write reporting if anything looked off, undo-last-change for when the AI made a call you do not agree with. Inside Cowork, that whole posture comes built-in. The four always-on skills enforce it on every conversation. Claude is not asked to remember the safety rules. The skills wake up when the conversation is about WordPress, and they hold the line. ## Marketplace approval is pending Submission to the Anthropic plugin marketplace is in review today. Until it lands, the plugin installs from the public GitHub repo inside Cowork: open *Customize, Plugins*, click the *Personal* tab, then *+, Add marketplace, Add from a repository* and enter `respira-press/cowork-plugin-wordpress`, then Sync and Install. The full step-by-step is on the [install section of the product page](https://www.respira.press/cowork#install). ## How to start in five minutes 1. Install the plugin in Cowork (manual route above, or the marketplace once approved). 2. Run `/respira:connect-site`. Claude will walk you through the WordPress plugin install, the API key, the config file, and a connection test. The path is built for someone who has never opened a terminal. 3. Sign up for a Respira account at [respira.press](https://www.respira.press/signup). The Maker tier has a 7-day trial with no credit card required. 4. Talk to Claude. Ask it to fix your hero section, audit your site for accessibility, migrate a Divi page to [Bricks](https://www.respira.press/bricks-mcp), or anything else. ## What I am watching this week First-day signal: who installs, which builder they have, which command they reach for first. The /respira:connect-site flow is the funnel that matters. If anyone gets stuck in setup, I want to know within the hour, so the founder support inbox at [word@respira.press](mailto:word@respira.press) goes straight to my phone today. Second-week signal: what kind of editing people actually do inside Cowork. The slash commands cover the high-frequency cases I have seen across the user base. The plain-English path covers everything else. I expect both to fire, and I expect the slash commands to be the gateway drug for users who have never trusted an AI with their WordPress site before. ## The path from here The Cowork plugin is the front door. Behind it is the Respira plugin running on your WordPress site, the MCP server tying it to the conversation, the cloud dashboard tracking your sites and your edits, and the support inbox. The whole stack has been live and used in production for months. What is new today is the door. If you are a Claude user with a WordPress site, the door is now open. [See the full product page](https://www.respira.press/cowork), install the plugin, and tell Claude what you want changed.
