Description

Time travel for your content: fetch any saved revision by ID and read the exact post as it existed at that moment. Easy MCP AI retrieves the full block markup or classic content of the revision so your AI client can diff it against the current version, extract a paragraph that was accidentally deleted, or confirm whether the version is worth restoring — all in plain conversation before you commit to any change.
