Install Respira for WordPress in Cursor

One-click install from the dashboard. Cursor opens, shows the config, and you approve. Every WordPress site connected to your account is pre-wired. No JSON editing needed.

  1. Open the dashboard and click Install in Cursor.

    The dashboard builds a cursor:// deeplink signed with your account config. Every WordPress site you have connected gets pre-loaded into the server entry. The link is one-shot per click, so you can share your screen without leaking anything.

  2. Approve the install in Cursor.

    Cursor shows a confirmation panel: server name respira-wordpress, command npx -y @respira/wordpress-mcp-server, and the base64 environment value. Click Install. The server is registered under Cursor's MCP panel.

  3. Confirm the server loaded.

    Open Cursor Settings, go to Features, MCP. You should see respira-wordpress with a green status. If it is grey, click the refresh icon once.

  4. Ask Cursor to edit a site.

    Try: using respira-wordpress, list my connected sites and which page builder each one runs.

Clicking Install in Cursor did not open Cursor.
  • Install Cursor first from cursor.com, then click Install in Cursor again.
  • Some browsers block cursor:// the first time. Approve the permission popup, then retry. On Firefox, you may need to click the deeplink twice.
  • If the deeplink was dismissed accidentally, click Install in Cursor again. The dashboard always mints a fresh link.
  • Still no luck? Fall back to manual config below. The base64 value is the same.
Manual install: paste this into Cursor's MCP config.

Cursor stores MCP servers in Settings, Features, MCP, Add New MCP Server. Paste the block below, then replace the placeholder with the base64 string from the dashboard. 

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "respira-wordpress": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@respira/wordpress-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "RESPIRA_CONFIG_B64": "<paste from dashboard>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Things to ask Cursor, once it is connected

  • using respira-wordpress, list my connected sites and which builder each one runs
  • on site A, open the pricing page, and show me every heading and its styling
  • duplicate the about page on site B, then translate every heading to Spanish
  • find all pages that still mention 2024 pricing and change them to 2025
  • run the accessibility scan on the homepage and list the WCAG violations
  • roll back the last change on site C. something broke the mobile layout
  • build a new landing page on site D using the homepage as a design starting point

Every write lands as a duplicate or draft first. Cursor asks before running a tool, so you stay in control.

Why Cursor plus Respira works

  • Cursor composer meets a production-safe WordPress backend. You get Cursor's agent loop against every page builder Respira supports.
  • Multi-site from one deeplink. The install link carries every site your Respira account has connected. Switch sites mid-chat.
  • 187+ WordPress tools. Full read/write across posts, pages, menus, ACF, Woo catalog, media, plugins. No custom tool manifests.
  • Snapshots on every write. Cursor's agent can break things fast. Respira reverses them even faster.
