What makes it different

More control over your AI than any other WordPress MCP server

Two things make Uncanny Automator the safer way to let an AI into your site: how it gets in, and what you let it do once it’s there.

One-click sign-in, approved by you

Your AI connects the same way you connect any other app: sign-in, approve, go. No application password to create, no API key to copy and paste into your AI app, and nothing to revoke by hand. Disconnect any app in one click and its access stops immediately.

A switch for every tool and ability

Each switch applies to every connected AI at once, and no AI app can change it. Switch off:

Any tool your AI can use

A whole integration, or a single action in it

Any ability another plugin adds

Three more switches: database access, site management, code and file reading

Also in your control

You decide what each AI can do

Set it once and it applies every time an AI works on your site. A few things are off the table for every AI, with no switch to turn them on.

You choose

Read-only or read-and-write: you choose for each AI app.

Choose which of your sites each AI app can reach.

Only an administrator can connect an AI, and every connection needs their approval.

Built-in safeguards

No shell. No file writes. No raw database changes.

No AI can delete users, and no switch turns that on.

Site maintenance never deletes or uninstalls anything and never updates WordPress core.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is Uncanny Automator a WordPress MCP server?

Yes. An MCP server is how AI apps such as ChatGPT or Claude connect to other software. Uncanny Automator is an MCP server for WordPress with a built-in automation engine: it connects your AI to your WordPress site, so you can manage and automate the site with your AI.

Does the AI act as me?

It acts as the administrator who approved the connection, with that administrator’s permissions. Only administrators can connect an AI.

What happens when I disconnect an app?

It loses access right away. Everything it did stays: recipes keep running, pages stay published, settings stay set. It all belongs to your site, not to the app.

Can an AI app turn a switch back on?

No. Only you can change your switches.

What can no AI ever do?

Change the database directly, run a shell command, change a file, or delete a user.
