From conversation to live website — here's how BuildPress works.

• 1. Install BuildPress MCP from your WordPress dashboard (or upload the zip)
• 2. Go to BuildPress MCP → Connection and create a WordPress App Password
• 3. Copy the MCP connection URL shown on the Connection page
• 4. Paste it into your AI client's MCP settings (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

Start a conversation with your AI and describe your project:

“I'm building a website for a local plumbing company called FlowFix. They want a professional look with blue and white colors. They need a homepage, services page, about page, and contact page.”

The AI enters Phase 1: Project Setup and:

• Captures your project identity (name, purpose, audience)
• Detects your installed plugins and capabilities
• Saves your brand voice and preferences to Project Memory
• Remembers everything for future sessions

The AI moves to Phase 2: Design System and establishes your visual foundation from one of three sources:

• From Figma:Import your design tokens directly. The AI extracts colors and typography from your Figma file and maps them to Elementor's global system.
• From a reference URL: Point to an existing site. The AI analyzes the design and creates matching global colors and typography.
• From a brief: Describe your preferences. The AI selects a Design System Kit and applies professional color palettes and typography that match your brand.

Once your design system is set, the AI locks Phase 2 to protect it. No accidental changes to your established colors and typography during the build.

With your design system locked, the AI enters Phase 3: Building and starts creating:

“Create the homepage with a hero section, services overview with icons, testimonials carousel, and a CTA section.”

The AI creates an Elementor page with proper container structure, uses your global colors and typography (never hardcodes values), sets responsive breakpoints, and adds real content structure.

Beyond pages, the AI can also create:

• Elementor Pro theme templates — headers, footers, single post templates, archive layouts
• JetEngine data structures — custom post types, taxonomies, relations, listings
• ACF field groups — with proper location rules and field types
• Forms & popups — Elementor Pro forms with submission handling, popups with display conditions
• Dynamic content — JetEngine listings, loop templates, query-driven grids

After building, the AI runs Render Verification — loading the page, checking HTTP status, verifying required widgets are present in the DOM, confirming dynamic content resolved, and scanning for PHP errors. If something fails, the AI fixes it and re-verifies automatically.

Your AI remembers the project context, your design preferences, and what's already been built. Continue the conversation:

“Add a team section to the about page with photos and bios.”

“Change the CTA button text on the homepage to ‘Get a Free Quote’.”

“Create a custom post type for Services with fields for price, duration, and description.”

The AI works with your existing design system, knows your installed plugins, and verifies every change.
