Uncanny Automator connects Claude or ChatGPT to your WordPress site. It is an MCP server for WordPress with a built-in automation engine: your AI manages the site and acts across your plugins and apps, and any task it does once can become a recipe, an automation that keeps running without it.

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or any AI app that supports remote MCP servers, and run your site in plain English. Uncanny Automator connects your AI to thousands of plugin abilities, plus 470+ actions built into Uncanny Automator. Build and update pages in Gutenberg, Spectra, Elementor, Divi or WPBakery, keep plugins and themes up to date, and turn any task into a workflow you can view, edit and audit.

Trusted by 40,000+ active sites with a 4.9/5 rating and 2,000,000+ downloads. Automating WordPress since 2018.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT in 60 seconds

An MCP server is how AI apps such as ChatGPT or Claude connect to other software. Uncanny Automator includes the MCP server for your site, so the AI you already use can manage it.

Install the plugin, create your free account, and sign in. One connection manages every site you link. Free forever for 150 tool uses per day (300 per day in the first seven days after you connect your AI).

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and more to WordPress

Create your free Uncanny Automator Lite account, connect your site and choose your AI app. From then on, Claude or ChatGPT can read your site, analyze your data, publish drafts, update orders and automate your workflows through ordinary conversation.

Any AI app that supports remote MCP servers connects the same way, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Once connected, ask Claude or ChatGPT how to get started.

The most capable WordPress MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT

Unlike other MCP server plugins, Uncanny Automator has been helping users automate WordPress since 2018.

We built an MCP server into Uncanny Automator before any of the other WordPress MCP server plugins existed, back in December of 2025, and we used it to power Uncanny Agent, our built-in AI agent.

In that time, we learned a lot about building a good MCP server, like utilizing the most secure connections (no application passwords here!), the optimal number of MCP tools for an agent to manage, and how to build effective MCP skills. Now, we’ve opened up the best MCP server on WordPress and made it available to everyone to connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and more.

Any MCP server on its own lets an AI manage your site in chat. In Uncanny Automator, the MCP server sits on top of a full automation plugin, so Claude or ChatGPT can do a task today and turn it into an automation that repeats it tomorrow.

Ask in plain English, for example “when someone buys a course, add them to my CRM”, and it builds the automation through the MCP server as a recipe you can view and edit. The automation runs on your site, so it keeps working after you close ChatGPT or Claude. Any other AI app that supports remote MCP servers connects the same way.

What Claude or ChatGPT can do on your site

Run your site in plain English: create and edit posts and pages, manage users, comments, menus, settings and more. “Create a page for our spring sale.” “Give Maria the Editor role and email her the login.”
Get answers instead of dashboards: “How are my sales trending month over month and year over year?” “Who enrolled this week and hasn’t started?” “What changed since Monday?”
Act across your plugins and apps: enroll a learner, tag a contact in Mailchimp, create a Stripe invoice, post to Slack, publish to Instagram. Any AI connected through Uncanny Automator gains access to an exclusive library of 470+ actions across 144 plugins and apps that no other MCP server offers, plus the thousands of abilities your other plugins register with WordPress. Pro adds hundreds more.
Skills for the plugins you run. Skills are step-by-step guidance your AI loads for a specific plugin or task. Uncanny Automator ships 200+ of them, including guides for WooCommerce, LearnDash, WPCode, Tutor LMS, WPForms, FluentCRM, BuddyBoss and much more, so your AI already knows how to work with the plugins you run.
Keep the site up to date: update, install, activate and deactivate plugins and themes from WordPress.org, moderate comments, flush caches, run cron events and switch maintenance mode, from chat.
Build and update pages in the page builder you already use: Gutenberg, Spectra, Elementor, Divi or WPBakery. No page builder? Uncanny Page Builder is built in: fast, light and AI-native. On a block theme, Claude or ChatGPT can build the whole site in the Site Editor: pages, headers, footers, navigation, templates and global styles.
Turn any task into a recipe: build automated workflows with AI, powered by the only MCP server with a built-in automation engine (see below).
Use the abilities your other plugins register through the WordPress Abilities API, each with its own switch.
Diagnose problems in your site’s code or build custom functionality: your AI can inspect code and files and verify WordPress core against the official checksums. It doesn’t change files and never opens wp-config.php, keys or backups.
Upload media from inside the AI app. Pick a file in ChatGPT or Claude and it lands in your Media Library.

Prompts to try:

“Publish the draft about the fall sale, add it to the News category, and post the link to #marketing in Slack.”
“Update every plugin and tell me what changed.”
“What can I automate on my site to save time?”
“Every Monday at 8am, email me a summary of last week’s orders.”

Automations that keep working after the chat ends

Any WordPress MCP server lets Claude or ChatGPT manage your site in chat. Only Uncanny Automator has a built-in automation engine, so your AI can also build recipes: deterministic automations with triggers, conditions and actions that run the same way every time, which you can open in the visual builder, edit, and audit in the log. Unlimited automations included: end the pay-per use Zapier subscription.

Built with AI. Describe what should happen and Claude or ChatGPT writes the recipe: triggers, actions, conditions, delays, schedules and loops. Open it in the visual builder and change anything.
Runs without it. Published recipes run on events and schedules with no chat and no AI in the loop. Every run is logged.
AI steps. Put a model inside a recipe to summarise, draft, translate, classify, analyse sentiment or write SEO titles and descriptions.

Recipes people build:

A form is submitted an AI step classifies it a complaint opens a Fluent Support ticket and alerts the team; anything else is tagged in Mailchimp with an AI-drafted reply.
Order completed wait three days only if it hasn’t been refunded an AI step writes a personal note about the product send it.
Every Monday pull last week’s orders an AI step summarises revenue and top products email you and post to Slack.

Prefer not to use AI at all? The drag-and-drop recipe builder is there, no code required.

No AI subscription?

Uncanny Agent is built into the plugin for people who don’t have an AI subscription, or would rather not connect one. Open it from your dashboard and start chatting: no AI account, no keys, nothing to set up. It does the same things a connected AI does, checks with you before important actions, and is free to start.

Stay in control

You approve every connection yourself, as a WordPress administrator. Your AI works on the site as that account and can never do more than you let it.
A switch for everything: every tool, integration, single action and ability, plus one switch each for database access, site management and code and file reading. No AI app can change them.
Some things are never available to any AI: raw database changes and deleting users. No shell. No file writes.
Connect every site once. Every AI app you approve can work on your connected sites, and new sites join automatically. Your AI’s requests reach your site over an encrypted connection.
See every call your AI made: which app, which site, what it did and the outcome.

What you get free

Manage your site with AI for free, forever: 150 tool uses a day (300 in your first week) with a connected AI, on unlimited sites.
Unlimited recipes between the plugins on your site, with hundreds of triggers and actions.
250 app actions to try apps like Google Sheets, Slack and Mailchimp.
Every tool, every plugin ability and all 200+ skills.
Build and update pages in Gutenberg, Spectra, Elementor, Divi or WPBakery. No page builder? Try Uncanny Page Builder, built in: light and AI-native, with clean HTML and CSS that loads fast.

Create a free account and connect your AI in 60 seconds. No credit card required.

Who it’s for

Site owners and WordPress beginners who already use ChatGPT or Claude and want it to manage the site, not just talk about it.
eCommerce, eLearning and membership operators automating the customer lifecycle across WooCommerce, LearnDash, MemberPress and the rest.
Developers and agencies who want to manage client sites with AI and have control over what each AI can touch on every client site, who would also rather maintain recipes than custom glue code.
