An existing WordPress post gives you a useful starting point for exploring AI: the copy to refine, the details to update, and the decisions to keep under the site owner’s control. Jetpack AI connects eligible WordPress sites to tools such as Claude and ChatGPT, alongside AI tools in the editor. That creates a concrete content opportunity around how the connection works, what access it allows, and how a content revision reaches the site.
At a glance
- For self-hosted WordPress: MCP access is available on sites connected through Jetpack with a Jetpack AI or Complete plan.
- Your content, in the conversation: External AI assistants can work with posts, pages, comments, and media through enabled tools.
- Look for “WordPress.com”: That is the connector name in Claude and ChatGPT, including when connecting an eligible self-hosted site.
- Editor tools, too: Jetpack AI Assistant supports drafting, revisions, and image generation inside the block editor.
Getting started
Send traffic to: https://jetpack.com/ai/. “Get Jetpack AI” opens the annual checkout, where the product is named Jetpack AI Assistant.
Who converts: the person purchasing Jetpack AI for their WordPress site. Checkout collects email, billing country, and payment; it creates a WordPress.com account if needed.
For MCP access: connect the self-hosted site through Jetpack, have AI or Complete active, enable MCP in WordPress.com account settings, and authorize the WordPress.com connection in your chosen AI client.
Choose the right access: the Assistant’s free requests cover editor tools. Self-hosted MCP access requires the paid plan above. You also need access to the chosen AI client and its connector.

Core talking points
Improve what is already there
Retrieve an existing post or page, work through a revision, and update the content. Titles, excerpts, categories, and tags are useful places to explore.
Manage AI in one place
In WP Admin, open Jetpack → Jetpack AI. On self-hosted sites with Jetpack 16.2 or later, Overview shows usage and guides, AI Features controls features, and MCP and Connectors manages external access.
Handle the supporting details
Work with comments and update uploaded images’ alt text or captions. In the editor, AI Assistant can generate images and help refine copy.
Choose what AI can access
MCP connects AI clients to site tools. Access follows your WordPress role; you can control tools and exclude sites. Enabling MCP turns on read and write groups by default.
Content angles
Written comparisons
A connection you can compare in practical terms.
Eligibility, setup, content actions, and access controls give you specific comparison criteria. The official guides explain the self-hosted plan requirement and the WordPress.com connector name. Keep editor tools and external MCP access distinct so readers understand which capabilities require which access.
Reviews and explainers
The path from an existing post to a reviewed revision.
With an eligible connected site and access to the chosen AI client, you can examine retrieval, revision, and the result in WordPress. Titles, excerpts, categories, and tags provide useful details to explore. Without that access, the public guides support a preparation checklist rather than a claim of firsthand testing.
Video and streaming
The connection and its controls, on screen.
An eligible test site gives you a way to explore the Jetpack AI dashboard, authorization, and a draft edit. Review the result in WordPress and make the access controls part of the story. The official Claude and ChatGPT setup guides include videos that also support coverage based on public documentation.
Preparing coverage without paid access? Explain the plan and connection checklist using the public guides. Ask the partner team about demonstration access and current UI assets.
Naming and brand usage
Use Jetpack AI for the plan and Jetpack AI Assistant for editor tools and checkout. Search for WordPress.com in the AI client. Use official Jetpack assets under the linked brand terms.
