## Steps at a glance

1. **Add AI editor access in Sitesfare.** Dashboard → AI editors → add access for the kind of website you have.
2. **Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT.** Profile menu → Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → Developer mode on.
3. **Create the connector.** Apps & Connectors → Create. Name: Sitesfare. Connector URL: https://api.sitesfare.com/mcp. Authentication: OAuth. Click Create.
4. **Sign in with Sitesfare.** ChatGPT opens the Sitesfare consent page. Sign in if asked and click Allow.
5. **Ask for changes.** In a chat, say what to change (“Use Sitesfare to update the About section with…”). Confirm when ChatGPT asks, then say “publish”.

ChatGPT can edit and publish your Sitesfare website once Sitesfare is added as a **custom connector**. Custom connectors are available on ChatGPT **Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu**; on a workspace plan an admin may need to allow connectors first.

## Before you start

- In your Sitesfare dashboard open **AI editors** and add **AI editor access** for the kind of website you have (one add-on covers every site of that kind). See [how Sitesfare Connect works](/guides/connect-ai-editors).

## 1. Turn on Developer mode

1. In ChatGPT, open your profile menu and choose **Settings**.
2. Open **Apps & Connectors**.
3. Scroll to the bottom and open **Advanced settings**.
4. Turn on **Developer mode**.

Developer mode is what lets a connector make changes (publish, update a section) rather than only search.

## 2. Create the connector

1. Back in **Apps & Connectors**, click **Create**.
2. Fill in:
   - **Name:** `Sitesfare`
   - **Description:** `Edit and publish my Sitesfare websites`
   - **Connector URL:** `https://api.sitesfare.com/mcp`
   - **Authentication:** **OAuth**
3. Click **Create**.

ChatGPT opens the Sitesfare **Sign in with Sitesfare** page. Sign in if asked, read what ChatGPT will be able to do, and click **Allow**. You are sent back to ChatGPT and the Sitesfare tools are registered.

Prefer not to sign in? Choose **Token** as the authentication and paste a **Studio key** (Dashboard → AI editors → Studio keys → Create key).

## 3. Use it in a chat

Start a new chat and ask in plain words. ChatGPT chooses the Sitesfare tools when they fit; to be explicit, name it: *"Use Sitesfare to hide the testimonials section on my portfolio and change the accent colour to deep green."* ChatGPT asks you to confirm before anything that changes the site, saves the change as a draft, and tells you when it is done. Say **"publish"** to put it live. Every change is kept in the site's **History** in your dashboard with one-click undo — or just tell ChatGPT to undo it.

Things to try:

- "Show me my Sitesfare websites."
- "Update the About section with this text: …"
- "Replace the hero photo with the image I attached."
- "Here is a screenshot of a section — change the heading to 'Selected work'."
- "Undo the last change."

## Troubleshooting

- **The Sitesfare tools do not appear.** Check that Developer mode is on, that the connector was created without an error, and start a new chat. Name the connector in your message ("Use Sitesfare to…").
- **"This account does not hold AI editor access…"** Add the add-on for that kind of website under AI editors; the message says which one.
- **Sign-in page says the request expired.** Go back to ChatGPT and click the connector again — each sign-in request is valid for ten minutes.
- **You want to disconnect ChatGPT.** Dashboard → AI editors → **Connected apps** → Disconnect. Its access ends immediately.

## Questions

**Which ChatGPT plans can add custom connectors?**
Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu. The free plan cannot add custom connectors. On Business, Enterprise and Edu an admin may need to enable connectors for the workspace.

**ChatGPT asks for a token instead of signing in — what do I paste?**
A Studio key: Dashboard → AI editors → Studio keys → Create key, then paste it as the token. Signing in (OAuth) is simpler and can be revoked from Connected apps.

**The Sitesfare tools do not show up in my chat.**
Make sure Developer mode is on, the connector was created without an error, and start a new chat. Name the connector in your message: “Use Sitesfare to…”.
