What is AcrossAI MCP Manager?
A plain-English introduction to MCP Manager — the safe way to connect AI assistants and code editors to your WordPress site.
Install & activate the plugin
Add MCP Manager to your site from the WordPress dashboard in about a minute, and find it after activation.
Getting started: connect your first AI client
The five-minute path from a fresh install to an AI client talking to your site.
MCP servers: add, delete, update, enable & disable
Manage one or many MCP servers from the Servers list — add new ones, switch them on or off, and read their route details.
Connecting an AI client (MCP Clients tab)
Generate a password and copy a ready-made JSON config for Claude, VS Code, Copilot, Codex, Cursor, Gemini or a custom client.
CLI connections (npm / npx)
Let terminal users connect the AcrossAI CLI with one command and a browser approval — no config files to edit by hand.
Application passwords & security
How MCP Manager keeps your credentials safe using WordPress Application Passwords — and how to view or revoke them.
WP-CLI (STDIO transport)
Connect a local MCP client by launching WP-CLI as a subprocess — no credentials sent over the network.

An optional add-on that connects your site to hosted AI connectors with a single URL and a consent screen — no config files.

Connect Gemini: Connected Apps, CLI, Enterprise, and what to do when it fails
Gemini now takes custom MCP servers on a normal Google account, through Connected Apps. The web flow, the CLI, Gemini Enterprise, and the common failures.
Connect Grok: grok.com, Grok Business, and what to do when it fails
Add your WordPress site to Grok as a custom MCP connector — the individual flow at grok.com, the admin-only Business flow, and the usual failures.
Connect Cursor: editor, Cloud agents, config file, and what to do when it fails
