About Breakdance
Breakdance 3.0 is out: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can now build Breakdance sites.
Breakdance is a WordPress site builder. Version 3.0 left beta on October 26 with MCP support, so any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can build and manage Breakdance sites, and RC 2 added a setup wizard that connects an agent in a few clicks. 3.0.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. The betas through September iterated on the MCP server and folded in the 2.8.2 security fix for the Design Library import flow.
