Breakdance MCP — AI automation for WordPress

Build Breakdance sites with AI — pages and their elements, headers, footers, popups, templates and global blocks, display conditions, global settings, selectors, presets and variables. Works on Oxygen 6 too.

Why it's powerful

The page is a tree, and now it is reachable

A Breakdance page is a JSON node tree in post meta, not post content. An assistant editing the post body changes nothing a visitor sees — which is why generic AI tools appear to work on Breakdance sites and quietly do nothing.

The real node tree

Read a page as structure, write it back, or change one node and leave the rest untouched.

Your element registry

Breakdance publishes every registered element and its controls at runtime, so nothing is guessed from documentation that went stale.

Headers, footers, popups, templates

All of them, built and assigned — a template with no display conditions is invisible, and that is checked.

The global layer

Settings, selectors, presets and variables, so new work matches the site instead of inventing a second design system.

Revisions are the undo

List them, restore one, and get a bad change back.

Deletes kept apart

Trashing is reversible and ungated; permanent deletion asks for confirmation first.

From hours to one prompt

Ask in plain language and the Breakdance integration turns it into typed calls against the node tree — no builder screens, no copy-paste, no rebuilding a page to change a heading.

Real workflows

Build a page from a brief

Sections, headings and buttons placed as a real tree, not pasted markup.

Change one thing everywhere

Edit a header once and every page it applies to follows.

Audits

Find pages using elements that no longer exist, or hardcoded values that have variables.

Migrations

Read a page as structure and rebuild it somewhere else without opening the builder.

Breakdance AI automation (MCP) for WordPress

The NibWP Breakdance integration exposes a Breakdance site to any MCP-compatible AI agent — Claude, Cursor, Claude Code and others. Pages, elements, templates and the global design layer become typed tool calls.

The reason this needs an integration at all: a Breakdance page is a JSON node tree stored in post meta, not in post content. An assistant working through the standard WordPress API can write to the post body all day and change nothing a visitor sees. Reading and writing the tree is the only way in.

Your elements, not a documented list

Breakdance publishes its element registry at runtime, so the integration reads what your install actually has — which depends on the license, the active subplugins and any third-party element packs — rather than a static list that drifts with every release.

Edits that keep your work

Single nodes can be added, updated, moved, duplicated or removed without touching the rest of the page, so an assistant changing a heading does not discard the hand edits around it. Revisions are covered, which means a change can be undone.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need Breakdance installed?

Yes. Once Breakdance is active, NibWP detects it and its abilities go live in your connected AI client — no configuration needed.

Does this work with Oxygen 6?

Yes. Oxygen 6 is the same builder under a different brand, and every post type and storage key is read from Breakdance's own constants rather than hardcoded, so it behaves correctly on either.

Will it overwrite work I did by hand?

Not unless you ask it to. Single-node edits change one node and leave the rest alone, and properties merge rather than replace. Replacing a whole page is a separate, explicit action.

Why can generic AI tools not do this already?

Because a Breakdance page is not post content. The layout is a JSON node tree in post meta, so an assistant writing HTML into the post body changes nothing a visitor ever sees.

Can I undo something it did?

Yes — revisions are covered, so a page can be restored to how it was. Check a page has revisions before a large structural change.
