What works today. What still needs you.
Read from the current MCP server release, dedicated tools, design-system awareness and cross-site search.
Works now
- Full CRUD on Bricks global CSS classes (
wordpress_list_bricks_global_classes,_create,_update,_delete). - Theme styles, color palette, and typography read + write (
wordpress_get_bricks_theme_styles,_color_palette,_typography). - Saved components: list, get, and insert into pages with automatic ID remapping (
wordpress_list_bricks_components,_apply_bricks_component). - Cross-site element search by type / class / setting (
wordpress_search_bricks_elements), audit your entire Bricks site in one call. - Page health diagnostics: orphaned elements, duplicate IDs, broken references, heading hierarchy (
wordpress_bricks_health_check). - Automatic.css (ACSS) detection + import: utility classes flow into the Bricks global class registry with source tagging (
wordpress_bricks_detect_acss,_import_acss). - Query loop discovery across the site, filterable by post type (
wordpress_bricks_query_loops). - Style profile learning: analyse a page's patterns and create matching content (
wordpress_bricks_style_profile). - One-call design system export (
wordpress_bricks_design_system), classes, colors, styles, typography, components, for AI context. - HTML → native Bricks element-tree conversion for prototypes.
Where a human still steps in
- Bricks Templates CPT supports first-class CRUD via PATCH / DELETE, but condition trees with deeply nested logic still need a human review pass.
- Optimistic locking prevents concurrent overwrites; if two agents try to write the same page in parallel, the second is rejected, by design.
- Bricks Pro license is detected but not validated by Respira. License-gated features are accessible if the Pro plugin says so on the site side.
Hit one of these and the snapshot gives you a clean way back.

Questions people ask about Bricks and MCP.
Is there an MCP server for Bricks?
Yes. Respira is an independent MCP server that reads and writes Bricks in its own format, with dedicated tools, design-system awareness and cross-site search. It is not made by the Bricks team.
Which tools does it use for Bricks?
25 Bricks-specific tools on top of the universal set: find, update, move and remove elements, build pages, snapshot and roll back. The list on this page is read from the MCP server source at build time.
What happens when the agent gets an edit wrong?
Nothing on the live page. The agent edits a copy first, you approve it inside WordPress, and every write is snapshotted with 90 days of undo.
Do i need a developer or a terminal?
No. Sign in with your browser from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and approve the connection once. Coding tools get a one-line command.
Does it work with a Bricks site that also runs WooCommerce?
Yes. The WooCommerce add-on adds 105 store tools on the same connection, with the same duplicate-first approval flow.
