EMCP Cloud & Marketplace
New in v3.8.0. Connect this site to your EMCP Cloud account (EMCP Tools → Connection) to back up Sandbox artifacts, pull them onto other connected sites, and browse or install what other people have published to the Marketplace. Free tier; requires an active Cloud connection. Both halves below are registered by the same class and gated the same way, one page covers both, the separate Marketplace tab in wp-admin is just a dedicated browsing surface, not a different system.
Backup & sync
Section titled “Backup & sync”emcp-tools/cloud-status
Section titled “emcp-tools/cloud-status”Returns the plan, limits, and usage for the connected account. Read-only.
emcp-tools/cloud-backup
Section titled “emcp-tools/cloud-backup”Backs up a local Sandbox artifact to your Cloud account.
Input: kind (required) — block, widget, or snippet. id (required) — the artifact’s local post ID.
emcp-tools/cloud-list
Section titled “emcp-tools/cloud-list”Lists the artifacts backed up to your Cloud account, optionally filtered by kind. Read-only.
emcp-tools/cloud-pull
Section titled “emcp-tools/cloud-pull”Pulls a Cloud artifact into this site by UUID. Imported as a new inactive draft, same review gate as everything else in the Sandbox.
Input: artifact_uuid (required), kind (optional).
emcp-tools/cloud-config-sync
Section titled “emcp-tools/cloud-config-sync”Pushes or pulls a config blob, one of settings, brand_kit, or tool_toggles, between this site and your Cloud account. This is the mechanism behind Settings Sync (a paid Cloud feature): copying tool toggles, active modules, Compact tool mode, and other behavior preferences between connected sites.
Input: type (required) — settings / brand_kit / tool_toggles. direction (required) — push or pull. data (required when pushing).
Marketplace
Section titled “Marketplace”emcp-tools/cloud-marketplace-list
Section titled “emcp-tools/cloud-marketplace-list”Browse published Marketplace listings (blocks, widgets, snippets), optionally filtered by category. Read-only.
emcp-tools/cloud-marketplace-install
Section titled “emcp-tools/cloud-marketplace-install”Installs a Marketplace listing by slug. Imported as a new inactive draft, review and activate it like any other Sandbox artifact.
Input: slug (required).
Publishing your own artifacts to the Marketplace, and the Save to Cloud / Cloud Library / Push update buttons, are actions on the Sandbox admin screens, not separate MCP tools, they call the same backup/pull mechanism above under the hood.
The general export/import mechanism
Section titled “The general export/import mechanism”Two tools, free tier, no Cloud connection required: emcp-tools/export-sandbox-artifact and emcp-tools/import-sandbox-artifact. These package a block/widget/snippet as a portable, checksum-verified bundle, the same shape cloud-backup/cloud-pull use internally, and are also what the Sandbox admin screens’ Export / Import a bundle buttons call. Use these directly for manual sharing between sites without going through Cloud at all; use the cloud-* tools above when you want Cloud to store and sync the bundle for you. Full detail on Sandbox.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”Every tool here requires manage_options. The Cloud-connection tools additionally require an active Cloud connection (EMCP Tools → Connection), the block kind on the export/import tools requires an active Pro license (the block Sandbox store doesn’t exist on free sites, so exporting/importing a block cleanly fails with a pro_required error there rather than a fatal).
