# Connect your AI

> 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](https://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](https://docs.ownsite.me/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 The draft also appears in your app under **Unpublished changes**, marked with the AI's name.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.
