# Respira for WordPress — Full Reference > Independent AI infrastructure layer for WordPress with builder-aware tooling, duplicate-first safety, and approval-gated publishing. ## Canonical Website - https://www.respira.press ## What Respira Does Respira is a WordPress plugin that lets AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and others) safely read and edit WordPress sites through MCP (Model Context Protocol). It works with all major page builders and includes production safety workflows. ## How It Works 1. Install the Respira WordPress plugin on any WordPress site. 2. Connect your AI coding assistant via MCP configuration. 3. The AI can now read page content, edit elements, manage posts, and operate WooCommerce stores — all through structured tools, not raw database access. 4. Every write operation auto-snapshots the before-state. Changes can be reviewed, diffed, and rolled back from wp-admin. ## Positioning Respira complements the official WordPress AI stack (Abilities API, MCP Adapter, WP AI Client). While WordPress develops its native AI direction, Respira focuses on: - Builder-aware execution (understanding Elementor, Divi, Bricks, etc. natively) - Production safety workflows (duplicate-first editing, snapshot rollback) - WooCommerce operations (products, orders, inventory, reports) Respira is not affiliated with WordPress, Automattic, WooCommerce, or any page builder. ## Core Safety Model 1. AI reads structured WordPress and builder context. 2. AI edits duplicates/drafts first (or edits live with automatic snapshots). 3. Every write operation auto-snapshots the before-state for one-click rollback. 4. Human approves via Changes page in wp-admin — merge mode preserves original URLs. 5. Full-fidelity version history: browse, diff, pin, and restore from admin. ## Supported Page Builders (11 total) - Elementor (Pro + Free) — full read + write - Divi (including Divi 5) — full read + write -
