Step by step

How to connect ChatGPT to WordPress

About five minutes. Heads up: adding a custom connector in ChatGPT needs Developer Mode and a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Team or Enterprise) - that's an OpenAI limitation, not wptaskify's. wptaskify itself is free to try.

Create a free wptaskify account and install the free pluginAdd the free wptaskify connector plugin to your WordPress site (Plugins → Add New, or upload it).
Click Connect in the pluginIt generates an AES-256-encrypted app password and links your site to wptaskify's hosted MCP server. WooCommerce is covered by the same plugin; Shopify connects with a store token.
Copy your wptaskify MCP server URLGrab your personal MCP URL from your dashboard.
Enable Developer Mode in ChatGPT and add a custom connectorIn ChatGPT (Plus, Pro, Team or Enterprise): Settings → enable Developer Mode → Apps & Connectors → New App. Paste your wptaskify MCP URL and authorize.
Test itMessage ChatGPT: “Draft a post about [topic] and send it to my approval inbox.” Review and approve in wptaskify before it goes live.

Honest comparison

How the three options compare

A technical comparison of a managed WordPress MCP server against self-hosting an open-source MCP or using WordPress.com's built-in AI.

What you are comparingwptaskifywhat we recommendOpenAI-API pluginsWordPress.com connector
Runs the whole site (not just text)Yes - 587 toolsMostly writes textRead-only
Extra OpenAI / per-token billNo - bring your own ChatGPTYes, per tokenNo
Self-host / config an MCP serverNo - hostedn/aNo
Owner approval before publishYes - inboxNoRead-only
WordPress + WooCommerce + ShopifyAll threeVariesWP.com only
Works on self-hosted WordPressYesYesNo

Key takeaway: self-hosted MCP setups run commands straight away and leave you holding the API keys. wptaskify runs the server, encrypts the credentials, and holds every risky action for your approval.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there a real ChatGPT plugin for WordPress?

There are two kinds. Older 'ChatGPT plugins' use the OpenAI API to write text or add a visitor chatbot, and they bill you per token on top of your ChatGPT subscription. The 2026 way is to connect ChatGPT itself to your site over MCP so it can actually create, edit and publish. wptaskify does the second: a free connector plugin plus a hosted MCP server, using the ChatGPT you already pay for - no extra token bill.

Do I need a paid ChatGPT plan to connect it to WordPress?

Yes, for the MCP method. Adding a custom app/connector in ChatGPT requires Developer Mode and a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Team or Enterprise). ChatGPT Free and Go can't add custom apps yet. That's an OpenAI limitation, not a wptaskify one - wptaskify itself has a free tier to connect and try.

Will ChatGPT publish or delete things on my site without asking?

No. Risky actions - publishing, deleting, bulk edits - wait in wptaskify's owner-approval inbox. You approve or reject each one, everything is logged, and you can revoke the connection at any time.

Do I have to self-host or configure an MCP server?

No. Some plugins make you run and troubleshoot the MCP server yourself. wptaskify's MCP server is hosted - you install a free plugin, click Connect, and paste one URL into ChatGPT. Nothing to self-host or configure.

Does this cost more on top of my ChatGPT subscription?

There's no second AI bill. You bring your own ChatGPT, so you're not paying OpenAI per token like API-key plugins. wptaskify is free to connect; paid plans are MCP Solo $19, MCP Pro $49 and MCP Agency $99 per month (USD).

Can I use it with WooCommerce and Shopify too?

Yes. The same free plugin connects WooCommerce, and Shopify connects with a store token. wptaskify is one connector for WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify.

Is the connection secure?

Yes. The plugin creates an app password that's AES-256 encrypted, the ChatGPT connection uses a secure authorization step, actions are scoped and logged, risky changes need your approval, and you can revoke access whenever you want.

Can I use Claude or another AI instead of ChatGPT?

Yes. wptaskify uses the open MCP standard, so it works with Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-capable client - you connect whichever AI you already pay for.

Under the hood

What a tool looks like

Your AI never sees this - it reads the list and picks. This is one of the 587, exactly as the server hands it over.

Technical terms

The words on this page

Model Context Protocol (MCP) An open standard that lets an AI model discover and call outside tools. The model asks a server what it can do, gets a list back, and calls the ones it needs. Anthropic published it in 2024 and Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor all speak it.
WordPress REST API The interface every WordPress site since 4.7 exposes for software to read and write its content. It is how wptaskify makes changes - the same doorway the WordPress editor itself uses.
Application password A separate password WordPress issues for software, not for logging in. It can be revoked on its own without touching your account. The plugin creates one and it is encrypted before we store it.
Human-in-the-loop execution Reading and drafting happen straight away; anything that changes what the public sees - publishing, deleting, price changes - stops and waits for a person to approve it.
If you have used Zapier, Make or n8n

Why this is not an automation

Rule-based automation and MCP solve different problems. Here is the difference, without the sales pitch.

A Zapier, Make or n8n workflow

You build the steps. When a post is published, send it here, then format it like this, then post it there. It runs exactly what you drew, every time, and it is excellent at that - moving a known thing between two known places on a schedule.

What it cannot do is decide. If the job is "find every page with a weak title and rewrite it", you have to define what weak means, in advance, as a rule.

wptaskify over MCP

You describe the outcome. The AI reads what is actually on your site, works out which of the 587 tools to call and in what order, and does it - then shows you anything risky before it goes live.

There is no workflow to draw and nothing to maintain when your site changes. The trade is that it is a judgement call each time rather than a fixed rule, which is why publishing waits for your approval.

They are not exclusive. Plenty of people run scheduled automations for the predictable work and use this for the parts that need reading and deciding.

Pricing

Data and privacy

What happens to your content

Your site password The plugin creates an application password - a separate credential, not your login - and it is encrypted before it is stored. You can revoke it from your WordPress dashboard at any time without touching your account.
Your content We pass it between your AI and your site. We do not keep a copy of your posts or products to train anything, and we never sell or share your data.
Your AI The model is yours - your own Claude or ChatGPT account, under your agreement with Anthropic or OpenAI. Both state that they do not train on business API data by default; their terms are the authority on that, not us.
Disconnecting Delete the connection from your dashboard or deactivate the plugin. Access stops immediately and nothing is left behind on your site.
