Urmi documentation

Urmi is a visual website builder for WordPress. You design pages by dragging widgets onto a live canvas, you build your theme's header, footer and page layouts in the same editor, and you keep everything consistent with one Design System of colors, fonts and buttons.

Urmi also has a built-in MCP server, off until you turn it on. You can connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI assistant and ask it to build or change your site. The AI works with the same elements you edit by hand, so everything it makes stays editable in the visual editor.

The Urmi editor with the Northwind Studio home page open, the Layers panel on the left and the inspector on the right — The editor: build panel on the left, live canvas in the middle, inspector on the right.

Urmi is free and open source (GPL). There is no account to create and no tracking.
