SiteSkite MCP AI – Connector for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor & WordPress WebOps

SiteSkite is a WebOps for WordPress built for agencies, developers, and site owners who manage one site or many.

Connect your sites for backups, updates, monitoring, sandboxes, and team workflows — and, with SiteSkite AI, edit a live WordPress site using assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Live on-site edits with WordPress AI do not use SiteSkite AI Site Studio credits.

Whether you manage 1 site or 100+, SiteSkite simplifies WordPress maintenance and scales with your workflow.

Important: SiteSkite only manages your website after you connect it with a secure API key.
Plugin installs, activations, and maintenance actions are initiated from your SiteSkite account so you stay in control.

SiteSkite AI & MCP (new in 2.1.0)

Connect once at https://mcp.siteskite.com, sign in with your SiteSkite account, and use Quick Connect for Claude or ChatGPT (Cursor and other clients supported too). This gives your assistant the whole platform — every connected site, plus backups, sandboxes, and logs.

No account? SiteSkite MCP is free to use without one. Open SiteSkite → AI MCP → Connect in wp-admin and connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor straight to this one site. No sign-up, no API key, nothing metered. You approve each app in your own WordPress admin and can cut it off there at any time. Sign in later and the same connector gains the platform tools and the rest of your sites.

Per site, pick how AI works:
– Off — AI will not change that site
– WordPress AI — edit the live website (pages, menus, forms, Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, and more)
– Platform AI — SiteSkite portal tools (backups, sandboxes, AI Site Studio, and more)

Only one mode can be active at a time.

With WordPress AI you can:
– Create, edit, and publish pages
– Install and toggle plugins
– Edit with the WordPress block editor (keep the Block Editor Queue page open while the assistant works)
– Build Elementor and WPBakery layouts
– Manage menus and add images from a URL
– List forms and create Contact Form 7 forms

You stay in control:
– Turn individual AI actions on or off in Abilities
– Switch Advanced Power Tools off if you would rather withhold deeper server-side actions (PHP, WP-CLI, files)
– Add site notes in Context so the AI follows your preferences
– Use Skills (ready-made playbooks) for Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, and more
