Codex Integration
Codex + WordPress, terminal speed with production guardrails
Codex is excellent for focused terminal workflows. Respira makes those workflows safe for live WordPress operations through duplicate-first editing and approval checkpoints.
Setup
CLI method and config.toml method
- Run the
codex mcp addcommand below. - Or paste the TOML block into your Codex config.
- Set your real WordPress URL and Respira API key.
- Run a read-only prompt first, then duplicate-first edits.
codex mcp add respira-wordpress \
--env WORDPRESS_URL=https://yoursite.com \
--env WORDPRESS_API_KEY=respira_your_api_key \
-- npx -y @respira/wordpress-mcp-server [mcp_servers.respira-wordpress]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@respira/wordpress-mcp-server"]
[mcp_servers.respira-wordpress.env]
WORDPRESS_URL = "https://yoursite.com"
WORDPRESS_API_KEY = "respira_your_api_key" Health check
Run setup and test commands
npx @respira/wordpress-mcp-server --setup npx @respira/wordpress-mcp-server --test Prompt starter
First prompts to run
- "Read page structure and summarize opportunities. No edits."
- "Duplicate target page and update only hero CTA copy."
- "Validate duplicate and generate approval + rollback note."
Recommended for teams
Codex works especially well for technical teams that want scripted, reproducible WordPress operations while keeping a strict approval gate before publication.
