What is Dorik?
A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
What is Oxygen?
Oxygen 6.2 beta adds an MCP server, making the WordPress page builder AI-agent controllable
Oxygen is deep in the 6.2 beta cycle (now at Beta 8), with the headlining feature being an MCP Server — meaning AI agents can directly drive Oxygen's page builder via the Model Context Protocol. Alongside the beta track, stable releases 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 addressed a security issue in the Design Library import flow and a regression fix. The 4.9.8 RC 1 branch keeps the legacy Classic version compatible with WooCommerce 11.

A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
◆ Current state
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
◆ Where it's heading
The plan restructuring is the most consequential item: an unlimited-domain free tier alongside named Pro and Agency plans is a repositioning toward agencies who manage many client sites, with the free tier as the entry point. The feature work stays modest — a table element, tooltips, template volume — and the fixes cluster around the CMS and API, which is where a site builder gets used seriously rather than casually.
◆ Prediction
Expect further agency-oriented capability to follow the Agency plan, since the tier now exists but the window shows no multi-site management features to justify it.

Oxygen 6.2 beta adds an MCP server, making the WordPress page builder AI-agent controllable
◆ Current state
Oxygen is deep in the 6.2 beta cycle (now at Beta 8), with the headlining feature being an MCP Server — meaning AI agents can directly drive Oxygen's page builder via the Model Context Protocol. Alongside the beta track, stable releases 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 addressed a security issue in the Design Library import flow and a regression fix. The 4.9.8 RC 1 branch keeps the legacy Classic version compatible with WooCommerce 11.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP Server is the most directional move Oxygen has made in recent history. Once GA, it puts Oxygen in the category of AI-agentic design tools — a page builder that an LLM can compose, edit, or debug programmatically. Beta 3's UI localization signals that international market expansion is happening in the same release, broadening the addressable user base alongside the AI capability.
◆ Prediction
Oxygen 6.2 GA is the immediate next move; the question is whether MCP integration depth expands post-launch to cover template generation, responsive breakpoints, and component discovery — the scenarios where AI-driven page building would actually save time.
