Connect Claude to your MemberPress site.

Before you start

• A MemberPress site you can log in to as an administrator
• A Claude account: Free, Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise (Free accounts can add one custom connector)
• About two minutes

Your site also needs a public https address and any permalink setting other than “Plain”.

Step 1. Install the Membership MCP plugin

Enter your site on the start page and we send you to your own MemberPress add-ons screen. There, type “MCP” in the Search add-ons box, then click Install Add-on on Membership MCP. It installs and activates in one step. Can't see it in Add-ons? That screen needs an active paid MemberPress license. Download the plugin zip, then upload it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.

After activation, open the Membership MCP screen in WordPress and click Connect. Sign in, or create your free account, when it opens, and approve the connection.

Step 2. Add Membership MCP in Claude

1. In Claude on the web or in Claude Desktop, open Customize → Connectors.
2. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it Membership MCP, paste the URL, and click Continue.
4. Keep the authentication settings Claude detects, choose Sign in now, and click Add.

Step 3. Sign in with your email

Claude opens the Membership MCP sign-in. Sign in with Google, or with your email and password. The first time, choose Continue with Google, or Sign up with your email and a password, to create your free account. Then pick your site.

Step 4. Try it

In any chat, click the + button at the lower left, choose Connectors, and make sure Membership MCP is switched on. Then ask.

Start with a question or two, then a change. Use your own plans and dates.

• “Who signed up this week, and which plan did each person pick?”
• “Which members had a failed payment in the last 7 days?”
• “Set up a Studio Monthly plan at $39 with a 7-day free trial, as a draft.”

For a change like the last one, Membership MCP prepares a preview by default. A draft plan is not for sale until you publish it, and putting a plan on sale always waits for your approval in your AI app. More tested asks are in the playbooks.

Claude Desktop and Team plans

A connector you add in Claude on the web also appears in Claude Desktop, so you add it once.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds the connector for the organization: Organization settings → Connectors → Add, hover over Custom, choose Web, then enter the name and the URL. Each member then opens Customize → Connectors, finds Membership MCP and clicks Connect to sign in.

Connecting several client sites to the same Claude? Use each site’s own address from its card, one connector per site, and name each connection after its site so you can switch on only the one you are working on.

Claude Code

Using Claude Code? After Step 1, you can install the Membership MCP plugin for Claude Code from the Caseproof marketplace instead of adding the connector by hand. It sets up the same connection. The custom connector steps above are for Claude on the web and in Claude Desktop.

In a Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add caseproof/claude-plugins
/plugin install membership-mcp@caseproof

Or in a terminal, on Claude Code 2.1.275 or later:

claude plugin install membership-mcp --marketplace caseproof/claude-plugins

Then type /mcp and sign in with your membershipmcp.ai email. Read the plugin’s page on GitHub: caseproof/claude-plugins.

What Claude can do once connected

Find and update members, spot failed payments and upcoming renewals, set up plans and coupons, protect content with access rules, enroll, cancel or refund when you ask, and pull revenue and churn reports. Everything you can do · Tools reference.

Safe by default

Reads never change anything. Changes show a preview by default, and riskier ones, like refunds and anything that goes live, always wait for your approval in your AI app. Every action is logged on your own site, and a pause switch in the plugin stops all changes. How you stay in charge.
