What It Does

Bricks MCP is a WordPress plugin that implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, letting AI assistants read and write your Bricks Builder site.

    $tools['my_custom_tool'] = [
        'name'        => 'my_custom_tool',
        'description' => 'My custom tool description',
        'inputSchema' => [
            'type'       => 'object',
            'properties' => [],
        ],
        'handler'     => function( $args ) {
