Manage your Wordify hosting from Claude or ChatGPT

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your Wordify hosting in one secure sign-in, then manage your sites in plain language. Covers setup, what your AI can and can't do, and troubleshooting.

Written by Nick

Connect your AI assistant to Wordify and manage your hosting in plain language, like “list my sites”, “clear the cache everywhere”, “back up my main site before I update plugins”. It’s one secure sign-in to set up: no API keys, no tokens, and no config files to edit. This guide covers connecting Claude and ChatGPT, what your assistant can and can’t do, and how to disconnect or troubleshoot.

What you’ll need

  • A Wordify account, on any plan.

  • For Claude: any Claude plan, paid or Free (limited to one connector). On Team and Enterprise, an organization owner adds the connector once before members can use it.

  • For ChatGPT: a ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan (custom connectors live behind developer mode).

Get your Wordify connection address

Your assistant connects to Wordify through a single address.

  1. In your Wordify dashboard, open Integrations → AI Connectors from the sidebar.

  2. Find Your MCP server URL and click the copy button next to it. It looks like https://console.wordify.com/mcp.

  3. Keep it on your clipboard. That’s the only value you’ll paste in the next step.

The AI Connectors page also has the connect steps and a live list of every assistant you’ve authorised, so it’s a good home base to return to.

Connect Claude

  1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors. (If you land on Settings → Connectors, Claude will point you to Customize.)

  2. Click the + button next to Connectors and choose Add custom connector.

  3. Give it a name (for example, “Wordify”), then paste your connection address into the Remote MCP server URL field. Leave the optional OAuth fields blank.

  4. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in to Wordify to authorize. Claude obtains its own secure access behind the scenes, so there’s nothing else to paste.

That’s it. Your assistant will appear under your connectors list, and under Connected AI clients on the Wordify AI Connectors page. (Hit Refresh if it’s not there yet.)

Claude Code and Claude Desktop connect to the same address. Add it as a custom or remote connector in their settings and authorize through the browser when prompted. The experience is the same as above.

Connect ChatGPT

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps (ChatGPT now groups connectors under Apps).

  2. Open Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.

  3. Go back to Apps and click Create (the Create app button) to open the New App dialog.

  4. Give it a name, set Connection to Server URL, and paste your connection address. Leave Authentication set to OAuth.

  5. Tick I understand and want to continue, click Create, then sign in to Wordify when prompted to authorize.

Try it

Once you’re connected, start a new conversation and ask your assistant something. A few prompts to get going:

  • “List my Wordify sites and tell me which ones are on an older WordPress version.”

  • “Clear the cache on all of my sites.”

  • “Install a caching plugin on every production site.”

  • “Create a backup of my main site before I update its plugins.”

  • “What did my team spend on Wordify last month?”

You don’t need special phrasing. Your assistant already knows what each action does and will pick the right one.

What your AI can and can’t do

Your assistant can work across more than three dozen tools, grouped by the job they do:

  • See your sites and their health: list and inspect sites, run a fleet-wide health check for outdated plugins, themes, WordPress core, or PHP, and read a site’s debug log when something’s misbehaving.

  • Set up new sites: see available plans and provision a brand-new WordPress site, then attach a custom domain.

  • Manage plugins and themes: list what’s installed, install new ones, and activate or deactivate them.

  • Tune performance and configuration: change PHP version, caching, CDN, object cache, WordPress settings, password protection, and debug mode.

  • Clear caches and CDN: flush cache layers on one site or many.

  • Back up and restore: list backups, create a fresh one, and restore from an earlier point.

  • Work with staging: create a staging site, push changes live, or pull production down to staging, and clone sites.

  • Manage domains and DNS: list and add domains and re-check DNS.

  • Run bulk actions: fan a single action (like updating plugins or clearing cache) across many sites in one go.

  • Check billing: read your invoices and current usage.

The safety story

A few principles keep this safe to hand to an assistant:

  • It acts as you. Your assistant has exactly the permissions your team role gives you, nothing more. If you can’t do something in the dashboard, neither can your AI.

  • High-stakes actions stay with a person. Deleting or suspending sites, changing your plan, billing, or payment details, and adding or removing team members are deliberately not available to AI. Those stay in the dashboard, done by you. Your assistant can read your invoices and usage, but it can’t change anything about billing.

  • Everything is attributed and logged. Every action your assistant takes is recorded under your account in your Activity Log, so you always have a clear trail of what happened and when.

Manage and disconnect your connectors

Every assistant you authorize shows up under Connected AI clients on the Integrations → AI Connectors page, with when it connected and when its access expires.

To revoke access, whether it’s an assistant you no longer use or one you don’t recognize, click the disconnect icon next to it. It loses access immediately. You can reconnect any time by authorizing again.

Troubleshooting

My assistant didn’t show up after connecting.
Click Refresh on the AI Connectors page. If it’s still missing, re-run the connect steps and make sure you completed the Wordify sign-in to authorize.

My assistant says it was “rate limited”.
Your assistant gets a generous request budget tuned for back-and-forth conversation. A few heavy operations (creating backups, syncing staging, and bulk actions across many sites) have a tighter limit to protect your sites. If your assistant moves too fast, it’ll get a brief “rate limited” message and can simply wait a few seconds and try again.

I’m on more than one team.
Your assistant works within one team at a time and uses your default team unless you tell it otherwise. Say “switch to my Acme team” to move context, or ask “which team are you using?” to confirm where it’s acting.

My assistant says it doesn’t have permission.
Actions mirror your team role. If you see a message about your role not permitting an action, ask a team owner to upgrade your role, then try again.

My assistant can’t find a site.
Check that the site belongs to the team your assistant is currently working in (see the multi-team note above).

My assistant says it’s no longer authorized.
Access can expire or be disconnected. Re-authorize from your assistant’s connector settings. Sign in to Wordify again and you’re back in.
