The WordPress plugin built for agencies

The AI co-worker your agency hires.

Respira speaks 17 page builders plus the native Site Editor, snapshots page and element edits before they land, and gives every AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) a single MCP endpoint to work through. Run 5 to 25 sites without hiring.

What this gets you

Three outcomes an agency actually feels.

01

Run more client sites without hiring

One operator covers 5 to 25 client sites because every screen rolls up: audit log, approvals queue, snapshot timeline, activity report. Each audit entry links back to its snapshot, proposal, approval, or rollback, and your agent can read that history too. Page-by-page hand-holding is the old model.

02

Audits clients can read

Generate a 400-700 word client report your AI shapes into prose. Six framings (client report, case study, internal recap, testimonial draft, build-in-public, personal recap). Anonymize toggle for case studies.

03

Builder-native edits that don't break the site

Edits go through the builder's own write surface instead of raw HTML. 17 page builders plus the native Site Editor. Duplicate-before-edit + 90-day snapshot rollback. Fewer "AI broke our page" tickets.

Functional preview · mock data

Click through the new admin, live, before you install

The plugin admin is React-first, built around live telemetry, a public add-on SDK for third-party authors, and generate_activity_report, the MCP tool that turns your audit log into a structured report your own agent shapes into prose. Below is that React admin running with stub data. Every screen renders, every tab clicks, every form responds. Nothing here writes to a real site.

What it does

Nine surfaces your agent has full access to, safely.

Reads, writes, builds, audits. Every action goes through the same duplicate-first + snapshot-backed safety model, and structural writes are verified against what WordPress actually rendered. Per-key access profiles let you give read-only access to a junior, full access to a senior, and content access to a copywriter. 210+ tools and abilities are included on every core plan.

Reads

Extract any page as the builder sees it

Respira reads pages in the builder's own data shape (Gutenberg blocks, Divi shortcodes, Bricks JSON, Elementor atomic envelopes). Your agent gets the structure, not opaque HTML.

extract_builder_content
Writes

Update individual elements without redrawing the page

find_element + update_element + move_element + duplicate_element + remove_element. The page stays intact; only the target widget changes.

update_element
Builds

Generate full pages from one declarative call

build_page takes a structured description and writes a complete page in the active builder's format. 27 widget shortcuts (heading, button, image, gallery, etc.) for the common moves.

build_page
Site Editor

Block templates, patterns, navigation, global styles

New in 8.0. Your agent reads and edits block templates and template parts with their hierarchy and source, synced and unsynced user patterns, block navigation by exact block path instead of rewriting the menu document, and the theme.json design tokens. Registered theme and plugin patterns stay read-only.

list_site_templates · update_site_navigation
Verified

A structural write is not done until WordPress renders it

Every structural write is fingerprint-guarded against a stale base, snapshotted, read back through WordPress, and server-render verified. One shared result contract across tools: dry_run, pending_approval, verified, stored_unverified, no_match, failure. A write can also be staged as a proposal for a person to approve instead of applied.

verified · pending_approval · stored_unverified
Safety

Duplicate-first, snapshot-backed, approval-gated

Page writes go to a duplicate by default; live edits need explicit confirmation. Snapshots stay reversible for 90 days, longer if you pin them. Bulk operations land in the approvals queue. Structural writes to site-level objects are beta-gated per site and off by default, because one template change reaches every page that uses it. Per-key access profiles (read-only, content, builder, full).

create_page_duplicate
Audit

SEO, accessibility, performance, schema, AEO

Read-only analyzers your agent calls before/after edits. Returns structured findings + ready-to-paste fix prompts. Local scanner, no third-party data send.

analyze_seo · scan_page_accessibility
WooCommerce

105 WooCommerce-specific tools (add-on)

Products, variations, orders, inventory, categories, tags. Same duplicate-first workflow. Optional add-on at €95/year, enabled per site.

woocommerce_create_product · woocommerce_update_inventory
Term SEO

SEO on categories and tags

Your agent now writes SEO titles and descriptions for categories and tags, not just pages and posts. Term archive pages read and write through the same SEO tools as the rest of the site.

update_term_seo · analyze_seo
Every major builder

Whatever your client built with, Respira speaks it.

17 page builders with native read plus write, plus the native WordPress Site Editor: block templates, template parts, patterns, block navigation, and global styles. Divi and Oxygen each cover two generations (Divi 4 and Divi 5, Oxygen Classic and Oxygen 6) under one integration. SeedProd is audit-only for now: agents read and report on landing pages, but writes stay blocked until its proprietary layout JSON can be written safely. The detected_plugins signal helps your agent recommend a builder when none is installed.

“I love Respira! I can now literally have a chat with Claude Code and have it update my Wordpress sites with no fuss. The MCP Server/Plugin combo is secure and robust - it's saving me hours updating client sites. it handles plugins, Elementor, the admin and front end of my sites. What's great as well is that the developer is responsive, friendly and rolls out improvements regularly. Highly recommended!”

“Mihai, just wanted to say thanks for building Respira. I run a chiropractic clinic in Adelaide and I'm using Claude AI to rebuild my entire website in Bricks Builder. Respira filled a gap nothing else could: letting Claude actually read and write Bricks content through MCP. The fact that you built this as a solo developer, listened to early feedback, and kept shipping updates is genuinely impressive. Rooting for you and the product. Keep going! 🎉🚀”

Respira feels easy to use and quite natural if you're used to working with Claude Code. Successful testing so far

sebastian

Hello, Respira has been my go to in building websites. The easy connection from WordPress to another AI platform. It is an amazing tool and wished I had found this earlier on in my journey. The support team is spot on and ease of use of the interface. Thank you so much for the ease of this connection.

panchokaragon

We chose Respira over the official connector for one reason: snapshots before every write, and rollback if something goes wrong. Letting an AI agent touch a live client-facing site is only sensible if you can undo it — Respira is the only option that treats that as the default rather than an afterthought.

Respira is one of the first plugins to bring Divi 5 directly into an AI workflow, building sections and modules from Claude straight into WordPress. The page build quality isn't quite at human-built-Divi level yet, though some of that may be user error on my end. Getting the agent to use native Divi elements rather than code-built sections took some direction at first. Once there, the results were a solid starting point to work from. Where it genuinely shines is everything outside of building, SEO auditing, bug checking, site advice, and having an AI agent that actually understands your WordPress setup. Early days, but worth testing out.

Avant Respira.press, travailler sur mon site WordPress avec Divi 4 était devenu une vraie perte de temps : modifications répétitives, copier-coller interminables, peur de casser le design en éditant les pages… Aujourd’hui, je peux demander directement des ajustements précis tout en conservant la structure et le style de mes pages. Pour un site comme le mien avec beaucoup de contenu SEO et de mises en page Divi, c’est un gain de temps énorme au quotidien.

So far I have been using Respira to bridge the communication gap between claude code and wordpress. Not too difficult to get up and running. Working great so far for a proof of concept I have been developing.

If you aren't using Respira to power your Claude interactions, you're working too hard. It turns complex site management into a simple conversation. I've slashed my maintenance time on GTCKSA by at least 80%—it's easily the best investment I've made for my WordPress stack this year

issam.rahouly

J’ai testé Respira sur mes premières modifications avec Divi 5… et franchement, ça fonctionne super bien. J’ai pu automatiser des petites tâches que je faisais jusque-là à la main, et qui pouvaient me prendre des heures sans réelle valeur ajoutée. Typiquement le genre d’outil qui ne change pas tout ton process, mais qui te fait gagner un temps précieux au quotidien.

charlene.demonsais.latappy

Using respira.press has been an absolute breath of fresh air for my workflow. The platform is beautifully minimal, incredibly intuitive, and takes all the stress out of publishing. It finally lets me focus on what matters most—my content—without getting bogged down by technical clutter. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

This looks very promising to work with our wordpress middleware

squaredozen

Respira made the entire setup incredibly simple. Within minutes, everything was up and running without any hassle. What really impressed me was the impact – having a full WordPress site generated automatically, while still being able to fine-tune everything manually with Divi, is a game changer. It gives you the perfect balance between automation and full creative control.

Frequently asked

What people ask before they install.

Does Respira work with my current builder?

Probably. Respira covers Gutenberg, Elementor (v3 + Atomic v4), Divi 4 + Divi 5, Bricks, Oxygen Classic + Oxygen 6, Beaver Builder, Breakdance, Flatsome, Brizy, Visual Composer, WPBakery, Spectra, Kadence Blocks, GenerateBlocks, and SeedProd. 16 with read + write (Thrive Architect is text edits, Visual Composer write coverage is limited); SeedProd is audit-only for now (agents read and report on landing pages; write support stays on the roadmap until the proprietary layout JSON can be written safely). If the site uses no page builder at all, 8.0 treats the native WordPress Site Editor as a first-class target too.

Can Respira edit the native Site Editor?

Yes, with a stated limit. Reading is open everywhere: your agent discovers block templates and template parts with their hierarchy and source, synced and unsynced user patterns, block navigation, and the theme.json global styles on any site. Writing to those site-level objects is beta-gated per site and off by default, because one template change reaches every page that uses it. You turn it on per site when you want it. Registered theme and plugin patterns stay read-only; editable user patterns support synced and unsynced state. Every structural write is fingerprint-guarded against a stale base, snapshotted, read back through WordPress, and server-render verified, and it reports "verified" only after WordPress actually rendered it. Needs plugin 8.6.42 or later.

What about Divi Theme Builder global headers and footers?

Those are written live, not staged. Divi resolves a global layout by id, so a duplicate would compete with the original and there is no honest way to stage one the way a page can be staged. 8.0 refuses the first attempt to rewrite a global header, footer, or body and names the blast radius instead, so you see what the change touches before it happens. That is a confirmation step, not an approval queue. The layout is still snapshotted and still reversible.

Which AI clients work with Respira?

Any MCP-compatible client. Most agencies pair it with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, OpenCode, or Claude Cowork. Chrome with WebMCP enabled also runs Respira tools directly via WebMCP for browser-native AI workflows.

How does my AI connect to the site?

Connect from anywhere. Point Claude or ChatGPT at your site with a link and a key. Nothing to install, and it works from the web or your phone. The local setup is still there if you prefer it, but you no longer need a desktop app to connect.

What happens if the AI breaks a page?

You roll it back. Page writes go to a duplicate first by default, so the live page stays untouched while you review. Snapshots are taken before page and element edits and stay reversible for 90 days (longer if you pin them), per page or for a whole session. Bulk operations land in the approvals queue so you review before publishing. The current rollback coverage and limits are documented in the docs.

Can I run Respira on multiple client sites?

Yes. The Maker plan covers 1 site (€9/month). Builder covers 5 (€19/month). Studio scales 25 to 250 (from €39/month). Each site has its own key, its own audit log, and its own snapshot history. Nothing aggregates across sites.

Does Respira send my content to a third party?

Your content is processed inside your WordPress install: the audit log, snapshots, and tool execution stay on your site, and your AI client connects directly via MCP, so the AI vendor sees what you send it and only what you send it. Respira does send anonymous usage metadata (tool name, duration, success) and error reports to respira.press to keep the service reliable; no page content, tool arguments, or media are included.

How do clients see the work?

Two paths. Either you generate an activity report (six framings: agency client report, case study, internal recap, testimonial draft, build-in-public, personal recap) and your AI shapes it into prose. Or you give the client read-only access to the approvals queue + audit log inside wp-admin.

Ready to put Respira on a client site?

Maker covers one site at €9/month. Builder covers five at €19/month. Studio scales 25 to 250. WooCommerce add-on is €95/year if your clients sell.
