How to Connect Your AI Assistant to JetHost (MCP Setup)
Before your AI assistant can manage your hosting or WordPress site, you connect it to your account once through JetHost MCP. It works with ChatGPT, Claude, and other compatible assistants. This guide shows where to set it up and how to confirm it’s working.
What you need
An active JetHost hosting service and an AI assistant that supports MCP (for example ChatGPT or Claude). If you want to manage a WordPress site, make sure WP Manager is enabled for it – our team can switch it on for free if you don’t see it.
Connect your assistant
1. Log in to your JetHost Client Area.
2. Open WP Manager and select your WordPress website, then open JetHost MCP (for hosting-only tasks you’ll find the MCP connection details in the same area).
3. There you’ll see your connection status, ready-to-use example prompts, and the instructions to link your AI assistant.
4. Follow the on-screen steps to add the JetHost MCP connection to ChatGPT, Claude, or your chosen assistant.
Test the connection
Once connected, ask your assistant a simple, read-only question to confirm it can see your account:
If it lists your services, you’re connected. Now see how to manage your WordPress site with AI.
What connecting unlocks
This one-time setup turns your AI assistant into a hands-on helper for your account. Once connected, a single conversation can manage both your hosting and your WordPress sites – install a new site, update plugins, run a backup, check error logs, manage DNS and email – without ever logging in to the control panel. You do it once, and every future task becomes as simple as asking.
JetHost Experts Tip
Connect only the assistant you actually use, and disconnect it from your account if you stop using it. MCP respects the access you grant – keeping that list tight is good security hygiene.
