Use PressHelm from Claude or ChatGPT

Prefer working in Claude or ChatGPT? Add PressHelm as a connector and use your site from there, on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, with the same approvals and the same undo.

Connector address#

Both apps connect to PressHelm through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The address is:

https://app.presshelmai.com/mcp/app

Claude#

1. Add a custom connector#

   In Claude (web, desktop or phone) open Settings → Connectors and add a custom connector with the address above. In Claude Code, add it as a remote MCP server.

2. Sign in#

   Sign in to your PressHelm account and pick the site.

3. Allow it in WordPress#

   Your WordPress admin asks “Allow Claude to manage this site?”. Approve only if you just started this yourself.

ChatGPT#

Add PressHelm as an app / custom connector (MCP server) with the same address, sign in, and allow it in your WordPress admin. The available menus depend on your ChatGPT plan.

How approvals work there#

In Claude and ChatGPT, changes that need your approval come back to your WordPress admin: the assistant shows you a link, you open it and approve or deny there. That way the AI can never approve its own change.

Claude

Duplicate the “Spring menu” page as “Summer menu” and keep it as a draft.

This needs your approval. Open this link to confirm in your WordPress admin: mysite.com/wp-admin/…ph_approve=…

(approves in WordPress)

Done: “Summer menu” is a draft copy with the same layout and featured image.
✓ Copied with template and builder data

Who pays for the AI?#

In Claude and ChatGPT, the thinking is done by your Claude or ChatGPT plan; your own AI key is not used for chatting. Image generation still uses your own Gemini, OpenAI or OpenRouter key.

Disconnecting an app#

PressHelm → Connections → Claude & ChatGPT apps lists connected apps; disconnect one and it can no longer reach your site.
