Built for WPBakery Page Builder
WPBakery Page Builder content your team can keep editing
WPBakery uses shortcodes for rows, columns and elements. EMCP Pro reads the live WPBMap registry, exposes schemas and edits a verified core subset of native content. Unsupported markup is refused rather than silently discarded during a rewrite.
Work with the native design model
Page styling has dedicated tools, including native custom and default element CSS regeneration. Local and default templates can be discovered and applied when valid for the adapter. Recovery snapshots capture content and CSS for inspecting and restoring a previous state.
Connect your AI to the right tools
Open EMCP Tools > Page Builders and select this standalone builder. Gutenberg and enabled block packs remain available. Reconnect your MCP client, read context and schemas, and enable the write tools needed for the task. Start with a draft and inspect the native editor. Available in EMCP 3.17.0. Check compatibility before updating the vendor builder; an unsupported version can prevent its tools from appearing.
Read the WPBakery Page Builder tool reference for operations and tested boundaries. The page-builder setup guide explains selection and Gutenberg coexistence.

Questions about WPBakery Page Builder, supported operations, and the workflow on your site.
Is this Visual Composer?
No. WPBakery and Visual Composer Website Builder have separate integrations and document formats.
Can I use every addon shortcode?
Discovery includes installed schemas, but writes are limited to the verified core subset.
Can I use saved templates?
Local and default templates can be discovered and validated content applied. Template-library mutation and remote downloads are excluded.
