--- title: How to Use MCP in BetterDocs for the WordPress Website? url: "https://betterdocs.co/docs/mcp-in-betterdocs/" updated: "2026-09-13" category: Configurations --- # How to Use MCP in BetterDocs for the WordPress Website? [**BetterDocs**](https://betterdocs.co/docs/what-is-betterdocs/) now supports **MCP (Model Context Protocol)**, letting AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT read and write your documentation directly, right from your chat window. Once connected, with MCP in BetterDocs you can ask the AI assistant to draft new docs, update existing ones, organize categories and FAQs, or check your documentation analytics, all without opening wp-admin. This saves you the back-and-forth of writing content elsewhere and pasting it into BetterDocs. ***Note:****You will need Administrator access on your WordPress site to approve the connection and an active Claude or ChatGPT account.* ## **Enable MCP Access** Go to **wp-admin → BetterDocs → MCP**. Toggle on **‘Enable MCP access’** at the top right of the page. This activates your site’s MCP server and generates a connector URL that AI assistants use to communicate with your documentation. ![Enable MCP Access](https://betterdocs.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/image-15.png)How to Use MCP in BetterDocs for the WordPress Website? 15 ## **How to Connect Claude to BetterDocs MCP** Here, in the step-by-step learn more about how to connect Claude with BetterDocs MCP.
