How do I connect SiteGPT to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http sitegpt https://sitegpt.ai/mcp to connect the remote MCP server with browser OAuth, or claude mcp add sitegpt -- npx -y @sitegpt/cli mcp to run it locally. On Claude web and desktop, SiteGPT is in the connectors directory (claude.ai/directory/connectors/sitegpt) for one-click connection. The plugin (/plugin marketplace add sitegpt/agent-skills, then /plugin install sitegpt@sitegpt) ships the workflow skill; npx skills add sitegpt/agent-skills installs the same skill in any Agent Skills environment.

Do I need a SiteGPT account first?

No. Agent-first onboarding lets Claude Code build and train a real chatbot from a URL with no credentials, then hand back a link to preview and claim.

What can Claude Code do with SiteGPT?

Everything in the dashboard: create chatbots, add and sync knowledge, set persona, instructions, and branding, manage conversations and leads, and read usage and billing.

Which scope should an MCP server use: local, project, or user?

Local (the default) keeps the server private to you in this repo. Project writes it to .mcp.json so the whole team inherits it on clone, the right call for a shared support lane. User makes it follow you across every repo. Move between them by re-adding with --scope, and remove cleanly with claude mcp remove .

Claude Code says the MCP server is not working. What do I check?

Three things, in order: claude mcp list (is the server registered and healthy), the OAuth grant (re-run the add command and complete the browser approval if it expired or was revoked), and scope (a project-scoped .mcp.json only applies inside that repo). The stdio variant failing usually means the CLI needs a sign-in: run npx -y @sitegpt/cli mcp once by hand and watch the output.

Connect SiteGPT to Claude Code

Add the remote SiteGPT MCP server (OAuth approval opens in your browser), run it locally over stdio, or install the SiteGPT plugin so Claude Code learns the whole build-and-manage workflow as the sitegpt-cli skill. On Claude web and desktop, SiteGPT is in the connectors directory at claude.ai/directory/connectors/sitegpt for one-click connection.

MCP in Claude Code

How MCP servers work in Claude Code

Claude Code reaches external products through MCP servers. claude mcp add <name> <url> connects a remote server over HTTP; claude mcp add <name> -- <command> launches a local one over stdio; claude mcp list shows what is configured. Servers added with --scope project land in .mcp.json and travel with the repo, so a whole team inherits the setup on clone.

What separates a server worth adding from clutter: real authentication (SiteGPT opens browser OAuth instead of asking you to paste an API key into config), honest tool annotations (reads marked read-only so Claude Code does not interrupt you for permission on every lookup, writes marked destructive so it always asks), and a compact tool surface that does not flood the context window.

Most MCP servers in a coding session are about the code: repo hosts, design tools, browsers. SiteGPT is the business lane: it turns "add support to this site" into something Claude Code can ship next to the feature it just built, and keeps every later support task (retraining, triage, reports) one prompt away.

Verifying the connection takes seconds: claude mcp list shows every configured server and its health, and /mcp inside a session shows what the current conversation can reach. If SiteGPT shows as disconnected, the OAuth grant is the usual suspect: re-run the add command and complete the browser approval, or check whether the grant was revoked from the SiteGPT side.

Zero to operated

From claude mcp add to an operated support lane

The whole lifecycle happens where you already work. Here is the movie from zero to an operated support lane, without leaving the terminal.

Connect once

claude mcp add --transport http sitegpt https://sitegpt.ai/mcp. The OAuth approval opens in your browser, shows the permissions and chatbot scope, and the grant never exceeds your own role. Commit the config with --scope project and your whole team inherits it.

Build the bot next to the feature

Tell Claude Code to add support to the site it is building: it creates the chatbot, ingests the docs and marketing sitemaps, sets the persona, and drops the embed snippet into the same PR as the feature.

Keep knowledge in sync with the code

Docs changed in this branch? One prompt re-queues the affected sources for training, so the support bot never lags the product by a release.

Operate it from the same seat

Unanswered questions, escalations, weekly numbers: reads flow without interruption, and anything that changes data shows you the diff first, like every other change Claude Code proposes.

Why SiteGPT for Claude Code

Support ships from your repo

You already build your product in Claude Code. With the SiteGPT skill or MCP server connected, "add support to this site" becomes one more thing it ships, right next to the code it supports.

The plugin teaches the whole workflow

The SiteGPT plugin ships the full build-and-manage playbook as a skill: onboarding, knowledge sync, personas, safe confirmation habits. One /plugin install and Claude Code knows the product.

No signup to start

Claude Code can spin up a real, trained chatbot from a URL with no SiteGPT account. You only sign up to keep it.

Steal these

Prompts that pull their weight

Everything below runs against your live account once connected. Reads run freely; anything that changes data asks first.

“Add a support chatbot to acme.com, trained on the docs and the marketing site.”

Creates the bot, ingests both sitemaps, sets a persona, returns the embed snippet.

“Which questions did the support bot fail to answer this week?”

The knowledge-gap list, clustered, with links into the dashboard.

“Retrain the bot on the new release notes and add a custom response for the pricing change.”

Sources queued, custom response drafted for your approval before the write.

“Summarize support volume and deflection for the sprint review.”

Live numbers in whatever format your standup uses.

“Check our SiteGPT usage and whether we are close to any plan limits.”
