Edit your site from Claude or ChatGPT

Your WebEgg site has an MCP server and a REST API. Connect it to the assistant you already pay for and ask it to change your website in plain language. Edits made this way use your assistant’s plan, not WebEgg AI credits — WebEgg only applies the change and republishes.

1. Get your connector URL

In your dashboard, open the API & Connectors tab and press Generate key. You’ll see two things:

Your MCP connector URL — https://webegg.ai/mcp/we_… (the key is part of the address; treat it like a password).
Your API key — we_…, for the REST API and ChatGPT Actions.

Regenerating the key invalidates the old URL immediately.

2a. Claude (claude.ai, desktop and mobile)

Open Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector (on Team/Enterprise an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors).
Name it WebEgg, paste your MCP connector URL, and choose Authentication No sign-in. (Your key is in the URL, so nothing else is needed. Don’t add /sse to the address.)
In a new chat, open the + menu → Connectors, switch WebEgg on, and ask: “List my WebEgg sites, then change the phone number on the contact section of Rise and Shine to (661) 555-0142 and publish.” Approve the edit when Claude asks.

Claude Code (terminal), with the key as a header instead:

claude mcp add --transport http webegg https://webegg.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer we_YOUR_KEY"

2b. ChatGPT

Connector (MCP): turn on Settings → Security and login → Developer mode, then open Apps → + (chatgpt.com/plugins), name it WebEgg, and paste your MCP connector URL as the public endpoint with authentication None. In a new chat, pick WebEgg from the tools menu under Developer mode and ask for the change; confirm write actions when prompted. Developer mode needs a paid plan, and on Business/Enterprise an admin has to enable it. Write actions may be read-only on some plans — if so, use Actions below.

Custom GPT (Actions): when creating a GPT, choose Actions → Import from URL and paste https://webegg.ai/api/v1/openapi.json. Set authentication to API Key, auth type Bearer, and paste your API key.

What the assistant can do

Tool	What it does
`list_sites`	Your sites with live and preview links.
`get_site`	The brief behind a site: business facts, pages, open to-do items.
`get_page` / `find_in_page`	Read a page’s HTML, or search it for a phrase with context.
`replace_in_page`	Precise find → replace edits (one or many) — the safe way to change copy, numbers, links.
`set_page_html`	Replace a whole page (guarded: must stay a real page of similar size).
`undo_last_change`	Restore the previous version of a page.
`list_setup_tasks` / `complete_setup_task`	The “Finish your site” list from onboarding (license number, hours, real reviews…).
`publish`	Push the saved pages live (preview link and your custom domain).

Changes are saved to your site immediately but only go live when you (or the assistant) call publish. Every page write keeps a one-step backup.

Limits and billing

Available on every claimed account. Free accounts keep their free-edit limit; paid plans are unlimited.
Connector edits cost zero WebEgg AI credits. Your assistant does the thinking; WebEgg does deterministic HTML edits and deploys.
Rate limit: 300 write operations per hour per key. Reads are not limited.
Anyone holding your connector URL or API key can edit your site. Regenerate it from the dashboard if it leaks.
