Before You Start #
You can connect WebOps to an AI tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol).
A single connection is linked to your WebOps account, so the AI tool can work with the websites available on your account.
Before starting, make sure you can sign in to your WebOps account.
Choose Your AI Tool #
WebOps provides connection instructions for several AI tools and development environments:
- Claude Web
- Claude Desktop
- Claude Code
- ChatGPT
- Gemini
- Cursor
- VS Code
- Windsurf
- Cline
Claude (Web, Desktop and Code) is the AI tool WebOps has verified. The other tools follow the general MCP steps, and their menus and wording may differ. The instructions below cover the connection methods currently available in WebOps.

MCP URL: Use the WebOps MCP URL shown in your MCP settings in WebOps.

One Connection, All Your Websites #
Your WebOps connection is linked to your account rather than to a single website, so it can work with the websites available on that account.
Connecting more than one AI tool to the same account at the same time has not been verified by WebOps yet.
You do not need to create a separate WebOps connection for each website.
When You Need to Reconnect #
You may need to reconnect your AI tool in some situations.
- Created a new website? Reconnect the AI tool so the new site’s tools become available in an existing AI tool session.
- Authorization expired? Sign in to WebOps again through the AI tool’s connector settings.
- Using Claude Code? Run
/mcpto access the MCP connection and sign in again when required.
