Use AuthorFox from Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini

Ask the assistant you already use about your articles, series and calendar, and let it propose changes that happen only when you confirm them.

Look things up
Ask about your articles, series, authors, templates, calendar and settings, and get answers from your own account.
Propose changes you confirm

How to connect

Every app uses the same address. You sign in to AuthorFox once and allow the connection; after that your assistant can work with your account.

  • Claude.ai and Claude Desktop

    The address

    https://authorfox.com/wp-json/content-ops-app/v1/mcp

    1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
    2. Name it AuthorFox, paste the address and choose Add.
    3. Choose Connect. Sign in to AuthorFox with your member login.
    4. If you belong to more than one account, choose the one to use. Then select Allow.

    Custom connectors are on Claude plans that offer them.

  • Claude Code

    The address

    https://authorfox.com/wp-json/content-ops-app/v1/mcp

    1. In a terminal, run this command:

      The command

      claude mcp add --transport http authorfox https://authorfox.com/wp-json/content-ops-app/v1/mcp

    2. Start Claude Code, type /mcp and choose authorfox.
    3. Choose Authenticate. In the browser window that opens, sign in to AuthorFox with your member login.
    4. If you belong to more than one account, choose the one to use. Then select Allow.

    The command adds the connector to the project folder you run it in. Add --scope user to use it in all your projects.

  • ChatGPT

    The address

    https://authorfox.com/wp-json/content-ops-app/v1/mcp

    1. In ChatGPT’s settings, under Apps & Connectors, open Advanced settings and switch on Developer mode.

Things to try

Ask in your own words. A few to start with:

  • “What’s on my calendar next week?”
  • “Which articles are waiting for my review?”
  • “Plan a six-part series about getting started with sourdough baking.”
  • “Request an article about winter garden care for my site.”

For a change, your assistant shows you what it will do and waits for your yes.

You stay in control

It acts as you
Your assistant works with your login, so it can do only what you can do in the app.
Only in the account you choose
If you belong to more than one account, you pick one when you allow the connection. It works in that one only.
You confirm every change
It proposes; nothing changes until you confirm it in the chat. A change that costs money says so before you confirm.
Disconnect any time
On your Account page, under Connected apps, choose Disconnect. It stops at once; changes you already confirmed stay.

Questions

Does it cost anything extra?

No. Connecting your assistant costs nothing. An article you request through it counts against your plan’s articles exactly as one requested in the app.

Why can’t I connect with an administrator login?

The connector is for members. A login with administrator or support rights is turned away when it tries to allow a connection. Sign in with your own member login instead.

Are there limits?

Each connection can make 120 calls a minute and 2,000 a day. A conversation uses far fewer. If your assistant reaches a limit, it is told how long to wait.

Can I connect more than one assistant?

Yes. Each one appears on your Account page under Connected apps, and you can disconnect each on its own.

Can the account’s owners see my connection?

Yes. Owners and admins see every member’s connections on the account and can disconnect them.

What about the Fox in the app?

The Fox works inside AuthorFox and needs no connection. The connector is for when you would rather ask the assistant you already use.
