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.
