Saddle
- What Is Saddle? Saddle is a free WordPress plugin. It lets an AI app you already use, like Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, work on your real site: write posts, build pages, handle photos. You decide what it may touch, and it asks before it deletes.
- Getting Started Install Saddle, walk the two-step setup, and connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP app to your WordPress site — about five minutes, start to finish.
- Set Up Saddle MCP Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, VS Code or any MCP app to your WordPress site. Pick your app, paste one generated line of setup, and check it worked — about two minutes.
- Permissions and Access Levels Saddle gives you layered control over what an AI can do on your WordPress site: a master AI access switch, one of three access levels, a switch for every individual tool, and — for apps that sign in themselves, like ChatGPT — a level on the connection itself.
- Site Management: Plugins, Themes and Settings The highest access level lets an AI activate plugins, switch themes, read and change WordPress settings, and flush the cache — opt-in, gated, and deliberately narrow.
- OAuth Sign-In: How It Works and Why It’s Off by Default Saddle can run a complete OAuth 2.1 authorization server inside your own WordPress, for AI apps that can't send a sign-in header. Here's what it does, what it refuses to do, and why it ships turned off.
- Safe Deletions and the Approval Gate Nothing on your site is ever deleted or overwritten in one step. Every destructive action returns a preview and a single-use, time-limited confirmation token first.
- Editing Content and Design Saddle lets an AI edit real Gutenberg blocks — validated before saving, matched to your theme's own design system, checked by lint and verify, and fully editable in WordPress afterward.
- Instructions, Skills and Memory Standing instructions, installable Skills and cross-session memory let you teach a connected AI your house style and your workflows, so it follows your process instead of its own defaults.
- Integrations: Tools From Your Other Plugins Other plugins can expose their own tools through your existing Saddle connection — SEO, email, documentation — all wrapped in the same access levels, approval gate, and activity log.
- Unsplash Images: Letting Your AI Find Photos Add your own free Unsplash Access Key and a connected AI can search Unsplash and import openly licensed photos straight into your media library, with credit attached automatically.
- Saddle Pro: AI That Builds Real Divi Pages Saddle Pro adds builder-native page editing to your AI connection — 47 Divi 5 tools that build real modules, styled with your real Divi design system, fully editable in the Visual Builder afterward.
