Connect Claude

At the end of this page Claude can work on your site, within the limits you choose. It takes about five minutes.

In wp-admin

1. Open AI Puffer › Settings, go to the Connections tab, and under Website management select Manage my website. If it asks you to verify your email first, see step 3 of the full guide.
2. Choose Connect an assistant, then Claude.
3. Choose a Safety level. Trusted, the default, lets Claude make supported changes on its own. Standard has it ask you before anything goes live. You can change it at any time. See Safety levels.
4. Under Act as, choose the WordPress user Claude works as. It can never do more than this user. For a shop, a Shop manager account is a good choice.
5. Agree to the terms and select Connect assistant.

In Claude

6. A tab opens, Add AI Puffer to Claude, with the address to use. In Claude, open Settings › Connectors, choose Add custom connector, paste the address and choose Connect. Claude opens AI Puffer in your browser: choose Allow. Do it in the same browser, within 10 minutes.
7. Back in wp-admin, select Check next to Claude. It shows Connected.

No WordPress password or Application Password is asked for at any point.

If Claude asks for a server address, use https://mcp.aipuffer.org/mcp. Claude adds it as a custom connector; what your Claude plan allows is up to Claude.
