WordPress.com just shipped AI write capabilities via MCP.
19 tools. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor supported. Create posts,
build pages, manage comments, organize content. Through
conversation, not dashboards.
For 20 years, WordPress has been edited through interfaces.
Today that changed.
Two things to know about their release:
It works on WordPress.com hosted sites only.
It works with Gutenberg blocks only.
Self-hosted WordPress is 60%+ of the ecosystem. Page builders like Elementor, Divi, and Bricks power about 40% of sites.
That’s the side of WordPress i’ve been building for since late 2025.
By coincidence, today i also shipped Respira 5.0 Haven. 103 MCP tools across 11 page builders. A new Changes page so you can see everything AI has touched on your site. Full-fidelity snapshots that capture builder data WordPress revisions don’t. One-click restore. Merge mode so approvals never break your links. Every write operation auto-snapshots before changing anything.
290 sites connected. 361K lines of code through the platform.
Two teams. Opposite sides of the same mountain. Same day.
