Membership MCP is the MCP for WordPress memberships. It connects the AI you already use, Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, to your membership site, so you can run the site by asking in plain sentences. “Who joined this week?” gets an answer from your real data. “Set up an annual plan with a 7-day trial” gets a preview, and nothing goes live until you approve it in your AI app.

We don’t sell a chatbot, and you don’t need a second AI subscription. Membership MCP supplies the tools your AI uses. Your AI does the talking.

What you need

  • A WordPress site running MemberPress. The free MemberPress Lite works, and so does any paid version. More WordPress membership plugins are on the way.
  • WordPress 6.5 or newer, and PHP 8.0 or newer.
  • An administrator login for that site.
  • A public https address. Your AI reaches your site over the internet, so a site on your own computer or behind a password wall can’t connect.
  • Pretty permalinks. Any setting under Settings → Permalinks other than “Plain” works.
  • Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code on a plan that can add a custom connector or MCP server. Connect your AI lists which plans can.

The free plan comes with MemberPress and gives you 50 actions a day. No card needed.

The five minutes

  1. Start on our site. Go to the start page, type your site address, and we send you to your own MemberPress → Add-ons screen.
  2. Install the plugin. 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? Download the plugin zip, then upload it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin (see Connect your site).
  3. Connect your site. After activation, the Membership MCP screen asks you to connect. Click Connect, sign in or create your free account when it opens, and approve the connection.
  4. Add the server in your AI. Add it in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor as a custom connector. Use https://mcp.membershipmcp.ai. Connecting more than one site to the same AI app? Use each site’s own address from its card in your account, and name each connection after its site. Your AI opens the Membership MCP sign-in at app.membershipmcp.ai, where you pick your site.
  5. Sign in. Sign in with Google, or with your email and password. New here? Choose Continue with Google, or Sign up with your email and a password. Your free account is created right there.

Then ask something.

Your first asks

Start with questions that only read, so you can see how it works before you change anything:

  • “How many active members do I have on each plan?”
  • “Who signed up in the last 7 days, and which plan did they pick?”
  • “Which members had a failed payment this month?”

When you’re ready to change something, ask for it plainly. Changes show you a preview by default, and refunds, cancellations, deletes and anything that goes live always wait for your approval in your AI app. Safety and approvals explains which is which.

What it can do

Your AI can find and update members, create plans and coupons, enroll a member in a plan, cancel or pause a subscription, refund a payment, protect content with access rules, check what a member can see, and pull revenue, churn and renewal figures. If you run MemberPress Courses, Corporate Accounts, Downloads or Gifting, it can work with those too.

It can’t delete a plan, a coupon or an access rule. For those, use the MemberPress screens in WordPress. The tools reference has the full list.

Updates

Once Membership MCP is installed, updates arrive through WordPress’s normal plugin updates. You don’t need to reinstall or reconnect.
