Multi-Site Management

Respira supports multiple WordPress sites in a single MCP server configuration. This is ideal for agencies and teams with staging/production environments.

Typical Setup

You might have:

• Production site
• Staging site
• A client site

Listing sites

Use wordpress_list_sites to see every site in the current configuration and which one is active. It takes no arguments and is read-only, so it is the safe first call when you are not sure what is connected.

Switching Sites

Use wordpress_switch_site to change the active site:

Switch to siteId "staging"

Then run the rest of your tools normally (they'll apply to the selected site). Switching flips the global current site for the configuration, so every later call in the session lands on the new site until you switch again.

Overriding the site for a single call

Most tools also accept an optional site_id argument. Passing it overrides the active site for that one call without changing the global current site. This is the safest way to touch a different site once: you do not have to switch and remember to switch back.

List the pages on siteId "staging" for this call only

This matters when one MCP server process runs several chats in parallel (for example multiple Cowork chats against different sites). A switch_site there would move the current site for every chat at once, so each chat should pin its own target with a per-call site_id instead of switching.

A few tools do not take site_id, because a per-call override would not mean anything for them: wordpress_list_sites, wordpress_get_active_site, wordpress_switch_site (which already takes site_id to flip the global site), and wordpress_redeem_token (which runs before any site exists).

Best Practices

• Keep staging as your default site when doing risky edits
• Run analysis tools (SEO/performance) on production first, but apply fixes on staging
• Promote changes after approval/review

Useful Tool Pairs

• Site overview: wordpress_get_site_context
• Content inventory: wordpress_list_pages, wordpress_list_posts
• Safe updates: wordpress_update_page, wordpress_update_post
