    Bio

    Mihai – founder respira.press

    Builder of digital infrastructure for creators and small businesses. Currently building Respira for WordPress, a safety layer that registers 130+ abilities across 12 page builders (Elementor, Bricks, Divi, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, Breakdance and 6 more) with snapshot-before-write protection, render validation, and one-click rollback. Just shipped Inhale: MCP Abilities to the .org directory, a free utility that replaces the PHP-filter workaround with a settings page for selecting which registered abilities are exposed to the default MCP server.

    Father of two. Anti-hustle philosophy. Simple systems that breathe.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Started building on WordPress in the early days when it was still just a blogging tool. Over two decades I’ve built communities, client sites, and entire ecosystems on it. Last year I noticed something: AI coding assistants were getting powerful enough to edit WordPress sites directly, but they had no idea how to handle page builder data structures – Divi shortcodes, Elementor JSON, Bricks elements. So I built a WordPress plugin with a custom MCP server that gives AI tools safe, module-level access to any page builder. That’s Respira for WordPress. It started as a tool I needed for my own client work and turned into something the whole ecosystem could use.

    Respira for WordPress · Full-time
    i build Respira for WordPress, an infrastructure layer that gives AI agents structured, reversible access to live WordPress sites across 17 page builders. solo: product, code, support and everything else. Romania.

    Key Accomplishments

    Made WordPress reachable from sixteen AI clients rather than one vendor, with documented setup for each: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, claude.ai, ChatGPT web and mobile, Cursor, VS Code, Continue, Codex, Conductor, Antigravity, OpenCode, Hermes, n8n, and Slack or Teams (via Viktor).
    Solved page-builder editing for AI agents, which is the part generic REST-API integrations cannot reach. 92% of connected sites run a third-party builder rather than blocks alone: Elementor 35%, Divi 27%, Beaver Builder 16%, Bricks 7%, plus Breakdance, Oxygen, WPBakery and Flatsome.
    “I was a bit worried about how it would handle Divi v4 because those layouts can be touchy, but it works like a charm. It actually understands the modules instead of just breaking everything.” — Adrian B.
    Wrote and maintain the whole Respira.press stack solo since November 2025: 274,000 lines of PHP in the plugin, 4,824 commits, with snapshots and rollback on every write because these run against live production sites.
    Shipped Inhale, a free plugin on the WordPress.org repository implementing the WordPress Abilities API, so any site can expose abilities to an AI agent without a commercial dependency.
    Built Respira for WordPress, an AI infrastructure layer with native write access to 17 page builders. 3,079 sites connected and 408,800 recorded tool calls as of August 2026.
