Why SiteSkite MCP?
Other tools bolt AI onto WordPress in isolation. SiteSkite puts your AI on the WebOps layer agencies already trust — free, optional, and mode-gated.
WebOps first
Backups, updates, monitoring, sandboxes, and recovery stay at the center. MCP extends the dashboard — it does not replace it.
It acts — it doesn’t just suggest
Real SiteSkite tools and optional WordPress abilities run in the conversation, with modes and approvals under your control.
Locked down by default
AI stays Off per site until you choose Platform AI or WordPress AI. OAuth is revocable. No raw server credentials handed to the model.
One WebOps layer. Two ways your AI works.
Same SiteSkite account. Same guardrails. Pick the mode that matches the job — portfolio operations, or live-site building.
Platform AI
Your AI drives SiteSkite itself: list sites, judge update risk, create backups, open sandboxes, read logs, pull reports, and run AI Site Studio when you need a full build.
Reach for it when
- You manage many client sites from one place
- You want safer update order before anything changes
- You need backup → sandbox → review before production
WordPress AI
Your AI assists on the live WordPress site: pages, menus, forms, Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, and plugin abilities — with Abilities and Advanced Power Tools under your control.
Reach for it when
- You need a draft Elementor page in the same chat
- You want menus, CF7, and builder work without wp-admin hopping
- You still want publish decisions in your hands
Per site you can also leave AI Off. Only one mode is active at a time.
Real WebOps jobs. Solved by the agent.
The work WordPress teams actually run — and what SiteSkite MCP does inside the conversation.
A client brief means days of Elementor pages by hand.
- discover_abilities
- get_ability_info · Elementor
- execute_ability · draft page
Draft landing page ready to preview — not published yet
Plugin updates across a portfolio feel like roulette.
- list_connected_sites
- analyze_connected_site_update_safety
Risky dependency order named before anything changes
A site is throwing errors and you cannot tell which plugin.
- get_connected_site_error_logs
- get_connected_site_debug_logs
Plain-language culprit — then a safer next step
One bad update can take a client site down.
- create_ondemand_backup
- install_sandbox_from_backup
- update with rollback path
Test on a sandbox first — production stays protected
Pricing, tags, or meta across hundreds of posts eats an afternoon.
- discover site abilities
- execute bulk-safe abilities
One conversational pass instead of clicking forever
Friday reporting means stitching screenshots by hand.
- generate_report
- summarize maintenance work
Client-ready proof of work from the same chat
What you can do
A full WebOps MCP toolkit — portfolio operations first, optional live WordPress AI when you enable it.
Portfolio & health
List linked sites, uptime, status, and health signals across the fleet — switch context mid-conversation.
Plugins & themes
Install, update, disable, and run bulk operations. Analyze risky dependency order before anything changes.
Backups & recovery
Create on-demand backups, restore or clone, and use Recovery Mode workflows when access breaks.
Sandboxes from backups
Spin a disposable WordPress from a backup — test Elementor or updates safely, then promote with confidence.
Logs & site intelligence
Read error and debug logs in plain language. Review Core Web Vitals and performance signals before you change a site.
Plugin & builder abilities
Discover and run WordPress Abilities — Elementor, Gutenberg, Contact Form 7, and compliant plugins — when WordPress AI is on.
AI Site Studio
Kick off full site generation through Platform AI when you need a new WordPress build — separate from live on-site edits.
Client reporting
Generate and summarize maintenance reports so Friday proof-of-work is a conversation, not a screenshot collage.
Modes under your control
Per site: Off, Platform AI, or WordPress AI. Only one mode at a time. Advanced Power Tools stay gated until you allow them.
Every major AI client
Quick Connect for ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor — plus Codex, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.
One site — or the whole portfolio.
SiteSkite MCP is account-scoped with OAuth. Your AI can work deep on one install or run one job across the fleet — the same way you already use SiteSkite.
Deep on one site
Debug a 500, draft an Elementor page, open a sandbox, or recover a single client install end to end.
One job across the fleet
Ask which sites need attention, queue safer updates, generate reports, or spot uptime failures without hopping dashboards.
Safe by default.
AI with write access to client WordPress needs real guardrails — not just promises.
- SiteSkite OAuth — the AI client never gets your WordPress password
- AI stays Off per site until you enable a mode
- Only one mode at a time: Off, Platform AI, or WordPress AI
- Backup-first paths before risky updates and restores
- Sandbox from backup — test before production
- No raw server credentials or SSH keys handed to the model
- Scoped permissions on your SiteSkite account
- Abilities and Advanced Power Tools gated until you allow them
- Prefer draft / preview workflows for live WordPress AI edits
- Revoke the MCP connection anytime from SiteSkite
SiteSkite MCP runs through your WebOps layer — the same secure surface as the dashboard — not a raw open pipe into hosting.
How SiteSkite MCP compares
Different tools solve different jobs. Use this chart to see where SiteSkite fits — WebOps-first MCP for portfolios, not a staging-only or single-site-only product.

Connect SiteSkite

Pick a site mode
Off, Platform AI, or WordPress AI — only one active per site.
Ask for the job
Elementor drafts, update safety, backups, sandboxes, logs, or reports.
Review & decide
SiteSkite returns clear results. You approve what goes live.
Built for agencies that already run WebOps
MCP is optional speed on top of SiteSkite — not a replacement for backups, monitoring, or the dashboard.
Ideal when you
Use SiteSkite MCP when your AI should operate the same WebOps layer you already trust.
- Manage one WordPress site or a hundred from SiteSkite
- Want AI that operates WebOps — not only drafts copy
- Need safer update, backup, and sandbox workflows
- Optionally want Elementor and builder help on live sites
- Already rely on SiteSkite for monitoring and recovery
Not the right fit when
- You only need a WordPress.com Claude connector
- You want unrestricted PHP on production with no modes
- You only manage sites inside another host’s MCP sandbox
- You do not want a WebOps dashboard at all
Point your AI at SiteSkite WebOps.
Create a free account, connect the clients you already use, and let an agent operate real WordPress care — with optional live-site building when you turn WordPress AI on.
