Browser AI Setup
Set up Respira Browser AI with WebMCP built-in, and understand how it differs from Elementor Angie and the official WordPress MCP Adapter.
The official WordPress MCP Adapter is optional. From Respira 9.1.24 it is installed separately from WordPress.org. Respira works with that plugin when it is installed; the workflow on this page works without it.
Browser AI in 60 seconds
Respira includes WebMCP directly in the plugin. You do not need a separate bridge plugin.
This page covers the built-in Browser AI/WebMCP surface. If you are looking for the Elementor-specific browser integration, see Elementor Angie.
Requirements
- WordPress admin access
- Respira for WordPress plugin
- Chrome 146+ browser
- Claude or Gemini account (or another browser AI client that supports WebMCP)
Step 1: Install Respira
- Download the plugin zip from your Respira dashboard. Respira for WordPress is not listed on WordPress.org.
- In WordPress Admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip and click Install Now
- Click Activate Plugin (the full steps are in Installation)
Step 2: Open your browser AI client
Open your browser AI workflow in Chrome 146+ and connect it to your WordPress site through Respira.
WebMCP is built-in, so this setup is typically faster than desktop MCP setup.
Step 3: Verify the connection
Try one quick request:
- "List pages on my WordPress site"
- "Analyze SEO for my homepage"
- "Create a duplicate of page 123"
If you get results, Browser AI is ready.
What you can do
Browser AI has access to a comparable toolset to desktop mode:
- 277 WebMCP abilities in the browser
- Browser inventory follows the active plugin release contract
- Desktop MCP exposes the full tool catalog, and more with the WooCommerce add-on; the current counts are on the live tools catalog
- Same duplicate-before-edit safety workflow
Browser AI vs Angie vs the official adapter
- Browser AI/WebMCP: built into Respira for Chrome browser AI clients
- Elementor Angie: curated browser-auth allowlist inside logged-in Elementor workflows
- Official WordPress MCP Adapter: WordPress-native MCP transport that can expose Respira abilities via the default/public server and the dedicated Respira server
