Account MCP FAQ
Do I have to use these exact prompts? No. They're examples. Ask in your own words; the assistant picks the right action. Name the site clearly (its name, address or ID).
Will the assistant change anything without asking? Reading never changes anything. Actions that delete or remove something, change a plan, install or activate a theme, update WordPress, can block visitors, change a site's primary domain, or invite, change or remove a team member ask you first, and nothing changes until you answer yes. These are marked Asks to confirm on the prompt pages.
Can I undo a change? Most changes can be reversed with another prompt: activate the old theme again, set the old PHP value again, install the earlier plugin version, put Shield back. Deleting a site, a backup, a plugin, a theme or a user, and restoring a backup over a site, can't be undone, so take a backup first. A removed domain can be mapped again and a removed team member invited again, but the sites that moved to the team owner stay with the owner.
Which sites can the assistant see? The sites of your current team that your account can see in the dashboard. To work on another team, switch teams in the dashboard.
Why can't the assistant do something I can do in the dashboard? Its group may be off in Settings → MCP, or the connection is read-only. See Troubleshooting.
Which groups are off by default?Site actions, Access & logs and Teams. The account owner turns them on in Settings → MCP.
What does the Teams group do? It lists your team members and lets the team owner or an Admin invite, change and remove Managers and Members, and cancel invitations. Admins are added, changed and removed on the dashboard only. See Teams prompts.
Can the assistant download an invoice? No. It lists your payments and breaks down a usage invoice, but the PDF is on the dashboard's Payment History page. See See your payment history.
Does the assistant ever see passwords? No. To log you in to wp-admin, the assistant gives you a one-time magic login link (it works only once and expires shortly after it is created). New WordPress users and password resets get a link from WordPress by email. Logs mask common secrets as [redacted].
Do plan changes made by the assistant cost the same? Yes. Upgrading or downgrading a site's plan through the assistant is billed exactly as when you do it in the dashboard.
Which assistants work? Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and any other MCP client. See Connect AI Assistants to Your Account (Account MCP).
