Royal MCP is the free WordPress plugin that gives ChatGPT full stack access to your site through Plugins (formerly Custom Apps). We connect via OAuth directly to your site, 200+ MCP tools available, works on any WordPress host.
To connect ChatGPT to WordPress, install the free Royal MCP plugin from WordPress.org, then in ChatGPT go to Settings → Connectors, toggle Developer Mode on, and add a new Plugin using your MCP endpoint URL. ChatGPT walks you through the OAuth consent flow, you click Authorize on your WordPress site, then set the per-Plugin permissions. Works on ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Business, Enterprise, and Edu tiers unlock full write actions.
Install the free Royal MCP plugin from WordPress.org and activate it. In WP Admin → Royal MCP → Settings, confirm the Enable toggle is on and copy your MCP endpoint URL:
In ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors, toggle Developer Mode on. Then Plugins → Add more → New Plugin. Paste your MCP endpoint URL, give it a name, click Create.
Developer Mode is a one-time toggle per account. Required for custom Plugins.
ChatGPT redirects to your WordPress site's OAuth consent screen. Click Authorize. Back in ChatGPT, open the Plugin's Permissions setting and pick the approval behavior that matches how you want to use Royal MCP.
Enable the Plugin per-conversation via the + menu in the composer.
