Divi MCP server

Divi 4 shortcodes and Divi 5 blocks, side by side. 60+ module schemas, 13-point payload validation, auto-wrapped Section → Row → Column.

Respira gives AI coding agents a structure-aware way to read and write Divi content through a duplicate-first workflow. Page and element writes are snapshotted, and changes can be reviewed before going live.

What works

Capabilities shipped today

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

  • Divi 5 block-based layouts (divi/* blocks) read and write through native block tools.
  • Divi 4 shortcode pages: parser walks post_content, _et_pb_page_layout, _et_pb_layout_content, _et_pb_page_content — four meta sources for maximum compatibility.
  • 60+ Divi 5 module schemas (sections, rows, columns, text, image, button, heading, blurb, contact forms, dozens more).
  • 13-point payload validation: context checks, nesting rules, flexColumnStructure counts, variable references, 16 common mistake patterns caught BEFORE write.
  • Auto-wraps bare modules in Section → Row → Column so the Visual Builder never sees invalid nesting.
  • Color tokens map to Divi 5's native et_global_colors option. Typography / spacing / breakpoints use Respira-managed options (respira_divi_typography_variables, etc) since Divi has no native equivalents.
  • Divi Migrator (Divi's own D4→D5 converter) is detected and surfaced through the Migration Copilot at /divi-5-migration-copilot.

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.

  • Respira does NOT convert Divi 4 to Divi 5 on its own. Use Divi's native Migrator; Respira helps plan and validate.
  • Divi 4 shortcode pages with deeply nested third-party shortcodes can lose attributes on round-trip. Run a duplicate first.
  • Theme Builder global layouts (header, footer, body) are read-only in the current release; per-page edits work normally.

Tools

Divi uses the universal toolset

Divi 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.

Sync color palette across pages 

Read the Divi 5 global color palette. Find every page where a heading uses a custom hex color instead of a palette reference. Suggest the closest palette entry for each and show me the list before changing anything.

Update CTAs on Divi 4 landing pages 

For every Divi 4 page in the "/offers/" path, find the et_pb_button shortcodes and replace the button text "Buy now" with "Start free trial". Snapshot each page first.

Migrate a single Divi 4 page to Divi 5 

Run the Migration Copilot dry-run for the page slug "pricing". Report what would convert cleanly, what needs review, and what would fail.

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.

Divi 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"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS Claude Desktop: this belongs in claude_desktop_config.json, not config.json. On some versions the "Edit Config" button opens config.json — a separate preferences file in the same folder that is not read for MCP servers — so the paste appears to do nothing. If the server doesn't show up after restarting, edit the right file directly: open -a TextEdit ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
