Connect your AI

Markdown

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or Kiro, and ask it to work on your site.

Once connected, you can say "Use Ownsite to..." in your own AI, and it can see your site and make drafts for you.

Ownsite connects through MCP, the standard way AI apps connect to other services. Every AI uses the same address:

text
https://mcp.ownsite.me/mcp

You can also find it in your app: open AI permissions, and under Connect a new AI, each AI has a card with the address, a Copy button and step-by-step instructions.

#Connect

ChatGPT

  1. Open ChatGPT's plugins page at chatgpt.com/plugins.
  2. Press Add custom MCP server at the top right.
  3. Name it Ownsite, paste the address, and press Add.
  4. Sign in with your Ownsite email, choose your site, and press Allow.

Claude

  1. In Claude, open Settings -> Connectors.
  2. Choose Add custom connector.
  3. Paste the address and press Add.
  4. In a chat, tap the connector and sign in with your Ownsite email.
  5. Choose your site, check what it may do, and press Allow.

Claude's free plan allows one custom connector. Pro and above have no limit.

Claude Code

Run:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http ownsite https://mcp.ownsite.me/mcp

Then type /mcp, choose ownsite, and sign in.

Cursor

Open Settings -> MCP -> Add new server and paste:

json
{ "mcpServers": { "ownsite": { "url": "https://mcp.ownsite.me/mcp" } } }

Kiro

Add this to your agent's mcpServers:

json
"ownsite": { "url": "https://mcp.ownsite.me/mcp" }

#When you press Allow

There is nothing to tick. The page shows your current AI permissions, for example "Home: can change, asks before publishing" and "Journal: off". Every AI follows them. To change them, press Change in Ownsite.

After you connect, your app gives you a first message you can send to your AI, with a Copy button. For ChatGPT and Claude, there is also Start in ChatGPT or Start in Claude.

#Example requests

text
Use Ownsite to make the title on my home page shorter.
Make a draft and don't publish it yet.
text
Use Ownsite to write a blog post about these photos from Kyoto. Keep it as a draft.

Your AI makes a draft and sends you a preview link. The draft also appears in your app under Unpublished changes, marked with the AI's name. Press Preview, then Publish or Discard.

Note:

Your AI only writes what you tell it. It asks you for facts like your history, prices and dates, instead of making them up.
