Blockish connects MCP-compatible AI assistants to the Block Editor so you can design real WordPress layouts with natural language — not just edit posts or run admin tasks.
Connect Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or another MCP client, then ask for a section or page. Blockish gives the AI 30+ structured Gutenberg blocks and a Class Manager for reusable CSS, so generated layouts stay clean, responsive, and editable in the native block sidebar.
You can still build manually. When AI helps, you review an inline preview and Accept before anything goes live.
AI Site Building Workflow
- Connect: Use the 1-click config wizard to connect your site to an MCP-enabled AI client (Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, etc.).
- Prompt: Tell your AI what kind of page or section you need.
- Generate: The AI builds with Blockish blocks directly in the Gutenberg editor.
- Refine: Review the inline preview and Accept, or ask for tweaks to colors, spacing, and typography.
Why Blockish Blocks are Different
Blockish is built so both humans and AI assistants can work in the same Gutenberg canvas:
-
Clean Architecture: Semantic, predictable block structures that AI tools can reason about reliably.
-
Class Manager System: Create and apply reusable CSS classes instead of one-off inline styles — cleaner markup and a consistent design system.
-
Theme.json Integration: Update global typography and colors through MCP abilities.
-
Human-Friendly: After generation, edit everything with standard Gutenberg sidebars.
Powerful Features
- Template Library: 1-click page and pattern import in the Block Editor.
- Magic Login: Secure 1-click login from your AI agent.
- EditorSync: Keep the open editor in sync when the AI stages changes.
- Interactions: Entrance presets, emit/listen signals, custom JS, plus page-level and global libraries.
- Visibility: Hide blocks per device (desktop / tablet / mobile) without custom CSS.
- Add-ons hub: Discover companion products (Forms, Dynamicity) from the Blockish dashboard.

External Services
This plugin connects to external services under the conditions described below. No data is ever sent without a clear user action or explicit opt-in.
1. Freemius (freemius.com)
What it does: Powers optional product opt-in, licensing for companion add-ons (such as Forms and Dynamicity), software updates, and anonymous usage insights that help improve Blockish. This uses the Freemius WordPress SDK bundled with the plugin.
When it connects: Only if you explicitly opt in (or activate a license) when Freemius prompts you in wp-admin. Skipping or declining opt-in means no Freemius analytics/licensing traffic for that flow. You can change your opt-in / license status later from the Blockish dashboard (Addons) or Freemius account controls.
Data sent: Non-sensitive environment and product data typical of Freemius (for example plugin version, WordPress version, site URL, and similar technical details used for licensing, updates, and insights). No passwords or post content are sent as part of this integration.
