Add the WordPress MCP server to ChatGPT

Run these once. Afterwards, everyone you give access to signs in the same way.

  1. 1. Enable WordPress in Metorial

    In your Metorial portal, enable the WordPress MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.

  2. 2. Add a custom MCP server

    On ChatGPT web, open Plugins, select +, then Add custom MCP server.

  3. 3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL

    Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>), choose OAuth and accept the risk notice.

  4. 4. Create and install the plugin

    Select Create as a plugin, install it and sign in to load WordPress tools.

Give your team WordPress in ChatGPT

Once WordPress is enabled in Metorial, teammates sign in with SSO and get the same connection in ChatGPT, with only the tools their role allows.

Using WordPress tools in ChatGPT

What to expect once WordPress is connected.

  • Type @ and pick the plugin. The selection applies to that message only, so @mention it again when a follow-up needs fresh WordPress data.
  • For write actions, ChatGPT may ask you to confirm first, depending on the app permissions and the action.
  • Once published for a workspace, ChatGPT keeps a snapshot of the tool list. When your team adds WordPress tools in Metorial, an admin refreshes the actions in Workspace settings before they appear.
  • You can use several apps in one prompt, for example read WordPress data and then create a ticket in another app.

Troubleshooting ChatGPT

Add custom MCP server is missing
Workspace policy controls it. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin grants the permission to create plugins with MCPs; ask them to enable it for you.
The plugin exists but no tools appear
Creating the plugin is not enough: install it from your plugins, then start a new conversation so ChatGPT loads its tools.
ChatGPT answers without using the tools
Pick the plugin with @ in the composer and name the action you want, for example "use Metorial to look up the latest ticket".
