Use ChatGPT to manage your WordPress site.
Copying text from ChatGPT into wp-admin is slow. WPMate connects ChatGPT to your self-hosted WordPress site so it can create drafts, fix SEO and keep plugins up to date itself, with your approval for anything risky.
From chat to your live site
Without a connector, ChatGPT can only write text for you to paste. With WPMate, ChatGPT calls tools on your site directly:
| Task | Copy and paste | With WPMate |
|---|---|---|
| Publish a blog post | Copy text, open wp-admin, paste, format, set category, tags and SEO fields | “Write a post about X and save it as a draft.” Approve publishing in one click. |
| Fix meta descriptions | Open each post, open the SEO plugin box, write and save | “Fix the missing meta descriptions.” ChatGPT finds them and writes them. |
| Update plugins | Check updates, back up, update, test | “Update what's safe to update.” A backup is taken first; you approve. |
| Alt text | Open media items one by one | “Add alt text to images that are missing it.” |
How to connect ChatGPT to WordPress
- Create a free WPMate account at wpmate.ai/signup and confirm your email.
- Connect your site. Create a connection code in the dashboard, install the free Mate Connector plugin on WordPress, open Settings → WPMate, paste the code and click Connect.
- Add WPMate in ChatGPT. Open Settings → Apps & Connectors. If WPMate is listed, select it and connect. Otherwise enable developer mode under Advanced settings, choose Create, enter
https://wpmate.ai/mcpwith OAuth, and sign in to WPMate.
ChatGPT's menus and which plans can add connectors are set by OpenAI and can change; the docs are kept up to date.

Approvals keep ChatGPT honest
ChatGPT can draft and edit, but publishing, deleting, plugin and theme changes and rollbacks go to your WPMate Approvals page first. You see exactly what will happen and approve or reject it. Content edits keep WordPress revisions, CSS changes keep snapshots, and plugin and theme updates take a backup, so you can undo. Read how WPMate secures your sites.
Frequently asked questions

ChatGPT connects to other services through apps and connectors built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). WPMate is one for WordPress: install the free Mate Connector plugin on your site and add WPMate in ChatGPT.

No. WPMate works inside ChatGPT with your normal ChatGPT account. There are no API keys to copy.
Can I use ChatGPT and Claude with the same site?
Yes. Connect your site to WPMate once, then add WPMate to both assistants. They share the same sites, approvals and activity log.
