Connect Claude

Step 1

Add Portcullis as a connector

Portcullis is itself the MCP server. Point Claude (or any MCP client) at the URL below. Claude will open a sign-in page — approve it once and the client can act across the WordPress sites you can reach. Your WordPress credentials never leave the broker.

Step 2

In Claude Code (CLI)

Register the server, then run it — Claude opens a browser to sign in and approve.

On first use Claude Code opens the Portcullis sign-in in your browser. After you approve, the tools are available in that session.

Step 2 — alternative

In Claude Desktop or claude.ai

  1. Open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Choose Add custom connector.
  3. Paste the MCP server URL from Step 1 and add it.
  4. Claude opens the Portcullis sign-in — sign in with your email link and approve.

Custom connectors require a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise).

Then

Use it

Once connected, Claude has three tools scoped to your fleet:

  • list_sites — the sites you can act on.
  • list_abilities(siteId) — what a site exposes.
  • run_ability(siteId, ability, input?) — run one.

No sites yet? Connect a site first — until then the tools return an empty fleet. If you re-connect Claude after changing your account, just approve again.
