TRY IT Respira for WordPress
Respira for WordPress connects AI assistants to self hosted WordPress sites. You can ask an agent to update a page, inspect a plugin problem, audit a site or change builder content without performing every step manually in wp-admin.
The connection runs through Respira's WordPress plugin and MCP server. Its builder aware editing supports Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Flatsome and other popular builders. The agent works with the builder's native structure rather than treating every page as a block of generic HTML.
Respira puts review controls around that access. Page edits can begin on a duplicate, while snapshots record recovery points before content changes. Sensitive operations can pause for approval. You see what changed, decide whether to publish it and can restore an earlier version when the result is wrong.
That duplicate first workflow matters when an AI agent has permission to change a production website. AI can still misunderstand an instruction, choose an awkward layout or damage something outside the obvious page view. Respira reduces that risk, but you should still keep independent backups and test important work on staging.
The product covers more than page editing. Its tools can inspect WordPress structure, plugins, media, menus, SEO, accessibility, performance and security. Reusable agent skills handle jobs such as technical debt audits, internal linking, site migration and WooCommerce checks. Agencies can manage connected sites from one dashboard, review activity and keep a record of agent actions.
Respira says prompts, raw tool arguments, tool results and WordPress content do not pass through its cloud. Your chosen AI provider may still process the material you send it. Respira receives optional metadata about tool activity, which can be disabled.
US agencies may find the ADA and WCAG scanner useful for initial accessibility checks across client sites. It does not certify that a website complies with US accessibility law, so legal and specialist review still matters.
You need your own compatible AI account and a self hosted WordPress site. A no card trial lets you test the complete product on one site. Continued use requires a paid plan based on the number of connected sites, with separate options for agencies, WooCommerce and larger teams.
