Connect ChatGPT directly to WordPress

What do I install?

Install the Studio WordPress plugin, then enable direct mode under Settings → WPBridge Studio. In ChatGPT, create a personal MCP app using the URL shown by the plugin. The ChatGPT side is a configured connection, not a second executable ZIP.

Follow the built-in connection guide

1. Install the plugin and open Settings → WPBridge Studio.
2. Enable direct mode and save; HTTPS is required.
3. Copy the MCP URL shown in settings.
4. Click Open ChatGPT connection setup and add a custom MCP connection using that URL.
5. Select OAuth and Dynamic Client Registration, then authorize from ChatGPT.
6. Approve while logged into WordPress; select the connection in a new chat and verify site identity.

Installation does not authorize access automatically. The setup button opens ChatGPT, where the customer completes linking. Custom connections must be available on their ChatGPT account. Public directory publication is pending.

Which OAuth settings do I use?

Select OAuth and Dynamic Client Registration. Request wordpress and offline_access; include offline_access as a base scope so refresh access is requested. Approve while signed into WordPress as an administrator. Direct mode uses this WordPress login; it does not ask for the hosted bridge OWNER_PASSWORD.

What is included in the free direct mode?

Other free installations allow 20 tool calls per authorized user per UTC day. Paid hosted purchases do not automatically unlock direct-mode paid licensing; that integration is pending. The public free package has no owner-domain exceptions.

How do I verify the connection?

Ask the Studio app to call list_sites and site_status. Confirm the returned site URL, user_id, read_only and daily_request_limit. Begin with read-only enabled. When changes are enabled, publishing and deletion still require the authenticated user’s native WordPress permissions.

Use the compatibility checklist before buying a hosted plan.
