Works with the assistant you already pay for

and writes in the format your builder expects

No SSH, no application passwords pasted into a chat, no new AI subscription. A plugin on your site and one URL in your assistant.

Plugins → Add New → Upload

Step 1

Install the plugin

Upload the Kitepod plugin to your WordPress site. WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 7.4+, any host.

Click Connect in wp-admin and pick which WordPress user the AI acts as. It never gets more power than that user has.

kitepod.com/mcp

Add a FAQ section to the pricing page

Step 3

Ask your assistant

Add kitepod.com/mcp as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Then just say what you want changed.

Kitepod gives your assistant the whole of WordPress, with the guardrails a real site needs.

Pages, posts and media

Write, edit, schedule and organise content, menus, terms and images.

“Turn these meeting notes into a blog post with a featured image”

Design and themes

Global styles, templates and theme files, edited in a draft you preview first.

“Make the header sticky and the buttons rounder”

Page builders

Native Elementor, Divi, Bricks and more, so pages still open in their editor.

“Duplicate the services page in Elementor for our new location”

WooCommerce

Products, prices, stock and coupons, staged for review before they go live.

“Put everything in Summer at 20% off until Sunday”

SEO

Titles, meta descriptions, redirects and schema, through Yoast or Rank Math.

“Write meta descriptions for every post that is missing one”

Code and snippets

Snippets are created switched off. Turning one on needs a person's approval.

Plugins and updates

Install, update and roll back plugins and themes, with a checkpoint before each.

“Update every plugin on all three sites and tell me what changed”

Database and WP-CLI

Read freely. Writes, search-replace and PHP need an approval first.

“Find every page still linking to the old domain”

An AI with write access is only useful if you can trust it. Kitepod keeps a record of everything it touches, and a way back.

Staged first

Risky edits land on a preview, not your live page. Share the link, look it over.

Checked on the live page

After a change goes out, Kitepod loads the page and screenshots it, before and after.

Approved by a person

Anything that touches code, users or the database waits for you or your client. The AI can't approve itself.

Undo for 90 days

Every write is snapshotted. Undo one edit, a whole task, or a whole session.

For freelancers and agencies

Built for people who run other people's sites

Let Claude do the edits your clients send you at 6pm, without ever wondering what it touched.

Clients approve their own changes

Invite a client to just their site as an approver. They get an email, look at the preview, and click approve.

One chat, every site

Every connected site is in the same conversation, so “update the plugins everywhere” is one request.

A trail you can show

Who asked, what changed, who approved it and when. Hash-chained on the site and in Kitepod.

WPVibe's free plan stops at 100 tool calls a day, and its Pro plan at 500. A real redesign takes hundreds. Kitepod doesn't count them, and doesn't charge for them.

The thinking happens on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for. All Kitepod does is carry its requests to your site safely, and that costs us almost nothing. So we don't charge for it, and we don't count your calls.

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client

One day we'll add optional extras for agencies and big teams. Everything above stays free.

Yes. No trial clock, no call meter and no card. Connect as many sites as you run.

There isn't one. The AI runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, so carrying its requests to your site costs us very little. We'd rather have you using Kitepod than charge you for it.

We'll add optional extras for agencies and big teams one day. Everything in Kitepod today stays free, and sites you connect now keep it.

No. Kitepod connects the Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor plan you already have to your sites. We never charge for AI usage.

There is no daily or monthly cap on tool calls. A short per-site rate limit stops a runaway agent from hammering your server, and that's it.

Risky changes are staged on a preview first, every write is snapshotted, and the page is checked after it goes live. If something looks wrong, undo it in one click, up to 90 days later.

The AI acts as the WordPress user you choose and can't do more than that user can. Code, user and database changes wait for a person's approval, and the AI has no way to approve its own work.

Yes. Kitepod has built-in guides for Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Breakdance, Kadence, GeneratePress, SeedProd and Oxygen, so it edits in each builder's own format and pages still open in their editor.

Yes, the Kitepod plugin. It needs WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 7.4+, and works on any host that can make outgoing HTTPS requests.

Yes. Invite a client to their site as an approver. They get an email for anything that needs a decision, see the preview, and approve or decline.

Free, unlimited calls, set up in two minutes.
