3.7.0 taught your AI to build things: custom Gutenberg blocks, custom widgets, PHP snippets, all in a safe sandbox. That raised an obvious question. Your agent just built a widget you love on one site. Now what? Rebuild it by hand on the next site? Hope you remember how?
3.8.0 answers that. Everything your AI builds now has a home in the cloud: back it up, sync it across every site, and share it. This is EMCP Cloud, and it’s the biggest thing we’ve shipped.
Your Sandbox work, backed up
Connect your site to an EMCP Cloud account once (a standard OAuth sign-in, no passwords stored), and every Sandbox artifact gets a one-click Save to Cloud button. Blocks, widgets, PHP snippets — all of it.
Each artifact now shows its real cloud state at a glance, right in the Sandbox:
- Save to Cloud when it’s local-only.
- Update cloud once you’ve edited it since the last backup.
- Saved when the cloud copy is current.
No guessing whether you’ve backed something up. And if you ever change the cloud from somewhere else, a page-level Refresh cloud status button re-syncs every artifact on demand, so the Sandbox always tells you the truth.
Synced across every site
A backup you can’t reuse is just insurance. The point of the cloud is reach.
Once an artifact is in your account, it’s one click away on every other site you connect. Build a pricing widget on your staging site, and it’s ready to pull into production, into a client’s site, into next month’s project — without rebuilding anything. The artifacts move as portable bundles that are rebuilt from their spec on arrival, always landing as a safe inactive draft for you to review.
Shared: the Marketplace
The most fun part. You can publish an artifact to the EMCP Marketplace for the community, and browse and install what others have shared, straight from a new Marketplace tab inside the plugin.
Every listing shows who made it: their avatar, name, and a Verified badge, linking through to their public profile. Publishing is a two-step you stay in control of: back the artifact up first, then hit Publish to Marketplace. Already published something and improved it later? Push update sends the new version for review without creating a duplicate listing.
Installing pulls the bundle down as an inactive draft on your site, exactly like your own cloud artifacts. Nothing goes live until you activate it.
Settings Sync (paid Cloud)
Setting up the plugin the way you like it — which tools are on, which modules are active, compact-tool mode, your preferences — is work you shouldn’t have to redo per site. On paid Cloud plans you can copy your EMCP setup from one connected site to another from the Connection tab.
What never travels: your secrets, your API keys, and each site’s own connection. Preferences sync; credentials don’t.
Connections that stay connected
If you use an AI client connected over OAuth, two fixes in this release will feel like the plugin just got quietly more reliable.
No more phantom “Reconnect needed.” EMCP Cloud connections could drop roughly once an hour on busy sites. The cause was a race: when two requests refreshed the login token at the same instant, and the provider rotates that token on every refresh, the second request got rejected and overwrote the good token. We’ve serialized the refresh and made it rotation-aware, and a passing network blip no longer trips the “Reconnect needed” flag either.
No more clients dropping mid-chat. During a busy chat, an OAuth token refresh used to immediately revoke the previous access token — so any tool call still in flight with it got a 401, and the client treated that as a dead connection and disconnected. Now the old token is left to expire on its own short lifetime, exactly as OAuth intends, and refreshes are seamless. (App Password connections were never affected by either issue.)
Also in 3.8.0
- Forminator support (Pro). Your AI can list Forminator forms and their shortcodes, read fields and submissions, and delete a submission when you confirm it.
- Tidier storage. Everything the Sandbox compiles now lives in one dedicated
wp-content/emcp-sandboxfolder instead of being scattered under uploads. Existing sites move over automatically and safely on update — active artifacts keep working, nothing for you to do. Still isolated from your theme, core, and other plugins. - A cleaner dashboard, with Cloud and Pro banners, the MCP Log promoted to the app bar, and Marketplace cards that show each artifact’s full screenshot.
Get it
3.8.0 is live. Free users can update from Dashboard → Updates; Pro updates through your license as usual.
EMCP Cloud, Settings Sync, and Forminator are Pro. The reliability fixes and the storage tidy-up are for everyone. Connect a site, save your first artifact, and stop rebuilding the same thing twice.
