Install Universal Abilities

We recommend installing Universal Abilities to give your agent full control of WordPress, including managing plugins, files, and site settings. Go to Agent Connector > Settings and click Install Universal Abilities. If it already shows Active, you're ready to go.

Ask AI to Build

You're now connected! Ask your agent for whatever you want to build or change in WordPress and Breakdance. Try a prompt like this:

Your agent
You

> Create a draft About Us page for my business using Breakdance. Include an introduction, a team section, and a contact button. Ask me for the business details you need before building it.

For a complete example, follow Build Your First Site.

Troubleshooting

My agent cannot access Breakdance

In Breakdance > Settings > Agents & MCP, find Enable MCP Access, check Allow agents to access this site over MCP, and click Save Changes. Reconnect your agent or refresh its tools.
