Divi Extraction Tools - Implementation Plan & Status

Executive Summary

Successfully implemented 3 new MCP tools for extracting Divi page structure from external websites using cremote browser automation. These tools address the need for competitive analysis and page recreation from sites where WordPress API access is unavailable.

Problem Analysis (from feedback/)

The Challenge

• Goal: Extract Divi page structure from external websites
• Constraint: No WordPress API access (external sites)
• Reality: Can only extract from rendered HTML/CSS (60-70% accuracy)
• Use Case: Competitive analysis, external site recreation, quick prototyping

Key Insights from Feedback

1. CREMOTE_EXTRACTION_SUMMARY.md: Confirmed feasibility with realistic expectations
2. CREMOTE_REALITY_CHECK.md: Documented limitations and boundaries
3. CREMOTE_VS_WORDPRESS_API.md: Compared approaches and use cases

Implementation Complete ✅

Code Changes

Files Modified

1. mcp/main.go (+200 lines)

   • 3 new MCP tool registrations
   • Integration with handleOptionalNavigation
   • JSON marshaling and error handling

2. client/client.go (+170 lines)

   • Type definitions for Divi structures
   • 3 client methods for command execution
   • Response parsing and error handling

3. daemon/daemon.go (+580 lines)

   • 3 command handlers in switch statement

Technical Architecture

Data Flow

MCP Tool Call → Client Method → Daemon Command Handler → JavaScript Execution → DOM Analysis → JSON Response

JavaScript Extraction Strategy

1. Query DOM for Divi-specific CSS classes
2. Extract computed styles using window.getComputedStyle()
3. Traverse section → row → column → module hierarchy
4. Identify module types from CSS classes
5. Extract content using innerHTML, textContent, attributes
6. Return structured JSON data

Module Type Detection

Supported module types:

• text (et_pb_text)
• image (et_pb_image)
• button (et_pb_button)
• blurb (et_pb_blurb)
• cta (et_pb_cta)
• slider (et_pb_slider)
• gallery (et_pb_gallery)
• video (et_pb_video)

Usage Examples

Basic Structure Extraction

{
  "tool": "web_extract_divi_structure_cremotemcp",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://example.com/divi-page",
    "clear_cache": true,
    "timeout": 30
  }
}

Image Extraction

{
  "tool": "web_extract_divi_images_cremotemcp",
  "arguments": {
    "tab": "tab-id-123",
    "timeout": 30
  }
}

Content Extraction

{
  "tool": "web_extract_divi_content_cremotemcp",
  "arguments": {
    "url": "https://example.com/divi-page",
    "timeout": 30
  }
}

Known Limitations

Cannot Extract

• ❌ Original Divi shortcode/JSON
• ❌ Builder settings (animations, responsive, custom CSS)
• ❌ Advanced module configurations
• ❌ Dynamic content sources (ACF fields)
• ❌ Exact responsive layouts

Accuracy Levels

• Structure: 60-70% (approximation from CSS classes)
• Content: 90-100% (visible content)
• Styling: 50-60% (computed styles only)
• Images: 100% (visible images)

Appropriate Use Cases

• ✅ Competitive analysis
• ✅ External site recreation (with manual refinement)
• ✅ Quick prototyping
• ✅ Content extraction
• ❌ Production migrations (too inaccurate)
• ❌ Exact recreations (impossible without API)

Next Steps

Immediate (Ready for Testing)

1. Integration testing with real Divi sites
2. Verify extraction accuracy on various page types
3. Test timeout handling and error recovery
4. Document edge cases and failure modes

Phase 2 (Future Enhancements)

1. web_download_images_bulk_cremotemcp - Bulk image download
2. web_extract_divi_backgrounds_cremotemcp - Enhanced background extraction
3. WordPress MCP integration for page recreation
4. Image upload orchestration

Phase 3 (Advanced Features)

1. Contact form extraction
2. Gallery extraction with full metadata
3. Slider extraction with slide data
4. WooCommerce module extraction

Testing Checklist

• Test on simple Divi page (1-2 sections)
• Test on complex Divi page (10+ sections)
• Test with specialty sections
• Test with various module types
• Test with background images
• Test with gradients
• Test timeout handling
• Test error recovery
• Verify JSON output format
• Test with slow-loading pages

Documentation

• ✅ Implementation summary (DIVI_EXTRACTION_IMPLEMENTATION.md)
• ✅ Implementation plan (this file)
• ✅ Feedback analysis (feedback/ directory)
• ⏳ User guide (to be created after testing)
• ⏳ API documentation (to be created after testing)

Conclusion

Implementation is complete and code compiles successfully. The tools are ready for integration testing on real Divi sites. All three extraction methods follow the same pattern and integrate cleanly with the existing cremote architecture.

Status: ✅ READY FOR TESTING
