What works today. What still needs you.
Read from the current MCP server release, first-class reads and writes across the builder structure.
Works now
- 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_colorsoption. 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.
Where a human still steps in
- 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.
Hit one of these and the snapshot gives you a clean way back.
Divi runs on the universal tools.
Find, update, move and remove elements, build whole pages, snapshot and roll back. Reads return the builder structure and writes keep it intact.
Three prompts you can paste right now.
Each one assumes Respira is connected to a Divi site. Paste it into your AI tool and 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.

Questions people ask about Divi and MCP.
Is there an MCP server for Divi?
Yes. Respira is an independent MCP server that reads and writes Divi in its own format, with first-class reads and writes across the builder structure. It is not made by the Divi team.
Which tools does it use for Divi?
Divi runs through the universal tools: find, update, move and remove elements, build pages, snapshot and roll back. Reads return the builder structure, and writes keep it.
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 Divi 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.
