Setup guide
Connect ChatGPT to your WooCommerce store
Connect ChatGPT to your WooCommerce store with MCPify: choose per store area what ChatGPT may read, change or delete, lock prices and customer data, log every request.
1. Connect your store and create a connection
- Install the free MCPify plugin (WordPress.org listing coming soon; until then, ask Support@MCPify.app for the plugin file) and activate it.
- Open WooCommerce › MCPify in your WordPress admin, click Connect to MCPify and approve the WooCommerce API key for MCPify. Choose read only if the AI should never change anything.
- Click Open MCPify. In the dashboard, create a connection (e.g. "ChatGPT") and start from a preset: Catalog editor can edit products and content but cannot delete anything; Read only changes nothing. You can also create the connection later, while signing in.
2. Add MCPify to ChatGPT
- In ChatGPT, open Plugins, click Add and choose Add custom MCP server.
- Name it MCPify, enter the server URL https://woo.getmcpify.app/mcp and choose OAuth as authentication. MCPify needs no client ID or secret.
- Confirm that you trust the server and click Create as a plugin.
- Click Connect MCPify and, on MCPify's sign-in page, choose Continue in WordPress admin and enter your store address, or enter a pairing code from the MCPify dashboard. You return to ChatGPT, and MCPify is available in your chats.
No client ID, secret or WooCommerce API key needs to be copied: ChatGPT registers itself, and you sign in through your WordPress admin. Clients that cannot sign in can use an MCPify API key instead; the connection page in the dashboard shows the exact setup.
3. Try it
Ask ChatGPT something like:
- “List my product categories with their product counts.”
- “Which of my products have no short description or no image?”
- “How did sales develop this month compared with last month?”
ChatGPT asks before it changes anything. Requests the connection does not allow are blocked, and every request, allowed or blocked, appears in MCPify's audit log.
Questions
Can ChatGPT see my customers' data?
Not by default. Orders and customers are off in the presets, and while the customer data limit is off, names, emails, phone numbers and addresses are removed from every response.
I changed a permission. What now?
It applies to the next request. Start a new chat so ChatGPT sees newly allowed tools.
How do I stop access?
Revoke the connection in the MCPify dashboard. Disconnecting the store in WooCommerce › MCPify, or deactivating the plugin, cuts off every AI client immediately and deletes MCPify's API key.
