Connect your AI tool
Sign in from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex or Cursor in your browser and click Allow.
Updated 23 October 2026
Your AI tool needs one thing from your site: its MCP URL. The tool opens WordPress in your browser, you sign in and click Allow, and the tool is connected. You never copy a password.
Before you connect
Open Divi → MCP for Divi 5 and finish the Check your site step. It shows whether Divi 5, HTTPS and permalinks are right, and whether AI tools can find the sign-in page. If a line is marked as a problem, see what the site check means.
Pick your tool
In the Connect your tool step, pick the tool you use. The screen fills in your site’s real MCP URL, so copy the command or text from there. The examples below show the shape only.
For claude.ai, ChatGPT or Gemini in the browser, pick claude.ai, ChatGPT or Gemini. The screen shows the connector URL with a Copy button and the steps for that app. All three need the site to be reachable from the internet over HTTPS, and the screen warns you if it is not.
Prefer not to type it yourself? Switch from Add it myself to Let my AI Assistant do it. The screen gives you a ready-made message to paste into an assistant that can edit files on your computer, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor’s agent.
Claude Code
Run this in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http divi https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-for-divi/v1/mcp
Then start Claude Code, run /mcp, pick divi and choose Authenticate.
Claude desktop app
- Open Settings → Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector and paste your MCP URL.
- Click Connect.
Claude connects from the internet, so the site must be publicly reachable. A site that only runs on your own computer will not work here.
claude.ai in your browser
- Open claude.ai and go to Settings → Connectors.
- Add a custom connector and paste your MCP URL.
- Click Connect. WordPress opens in your browser. Sign in and click Allow.
claude.ai connects from the internet, so the site must be publicly reachable. A site that only runs on your own computer will not work here.
ChatGPT in your browser
- Open chatgpt.com and go to Plugins.
- Click Add and choose Add custom MCP server.
- Give it a name, paste your MCP URL as the server URL and keep OAuth as the authentication.
- Tick I understand and want to continue and click Create as a plugin.
- Click Continue to MCP for Divi 5. WordPress opens in your browser. Sign in and click Allow.
MCP for Divi 5 then shows under your installed plugins in ChatGPT. If Add custom MCP server is not in the Add menu, turn on developer mode in ChatGPT’s settings first. ChatGPT only asks for it once.
Like claude.ai, ChatGPT connects from the internet, so the site must be publicly reachable.
Gemini in your browser
- Open gemini.google.com/customize and go to Connectors.
- Click Custom, paste your MCP URL and click Next.
- Tick the box to accept the security and privacy risks and click Connect.
- Google asks to link your Google account to your site. Click Agree and continue.
- WordPress opens in your browser. It asks whether Google can work on your site, because that is the name Gemini signs in with. Sign in and click Allow.
- Back in Gemini, click Connect to save the app.
To use it, type @ in a Gemini chat and pick the app. Like claude.ai, Gemini connects from the internet, so the site must be publicly reachable.
ChatGPT Codex
Added it in ChatGPT already? Codex uses the same plugin, so there is nothing more to do. The ChatGPT steps above show how.
Otherwise, run this in your terminal:
codex mcp add divi --url https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-for-divi/v1/mcp
Then run codex mcp login divi.
If you add the server in the Codex app instead, its MCP settings screen has no Connect button. After you add the server URL, open a terminal and run codex mcp login once, followed by the name you gave the server. It opens the WordPress sign-in in your browser.
Cursor
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"divi": { "url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp-for-divi/v1/mcp" }
}
}
Then open Cursor’s MCP settings and sign in when it asks.
Sign in and click Allow
Each tool opens a WordPress page titled Allow (tool name) to work on (your site)? Sign in if WordPress asks. The page says the tool will work as you, with your permissions, and that it can:
- read the site’s Divi modules and global colours
- create and edit Divi pages
- upload images to the media library
Click Allow to connect it, or Deny to refuse. Changing presets, variables and the Theme Builder needs extra permissions, which are explained here. After you answer, the browser returns to the tool. The tool can use only the MCP URL. It cannot use the rest of your site’s WordPress API.
Try it
The Try it step suggests a first prompt:
Use the divi tools to build a draft page called “Test” with a hero section: a heading, a short paragraph and a button.
It creates a draft, so nothing goes live until you publish it. Your tool now appears under Connected apps, where you can disconnect it later.
