Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for the questions that come up most often.
How is this different from WP-CLI?
WP-CLI runs on your WordPress server and is the right tool for server-side administration. Respira CLI runs locally, talks to the Respira plugin over HTTPS, and understands page builder content natively.
Does it require SSH?
No. Respira CLI never touches your server directly.
Which managed hosts work?
All of them. WP Engine, Kinsta, SiteGround, Cloudways, Pressable, Pantheon, Flywheel, and self-hosted WordPress.
Is it open source?
Yes. MIT license. github.com/respira-press/respira-wordpress-cli.
What does it cost?
Public reads (respira read structure, respira read design-system) against any public site are free with no account. Writes require a Respira license. See pricing.
Do i need Claude Code or another agent to use it?
No. The CLI is a standard command line tool that works on its own. Agent integrations are optional.
Can i use it in CI?
Yes. Set RESPIRA_API_KEY in your CI environment and every command runs headlessly. JSON output is the default when stdout is not a TTY.
Which page builders are supported?
Elementor, Divi 4, Divi 5, Bricks, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, Breakdance, Brizy, Thrive Architect, Flatsome UX Builder, native Gutenberg blocks, plus WooCommerce through the Respira WooCommerce add-on.
