Update: connect your AI app to Plate with the new MCP server

You already use AI for copy and ideas. Soon that AI can work directly in Plate too. With the new Plate MCP server you connect an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT to your Plate account. You give an instruction in plain language, and the AI app carries it out in your website. No more copying and pasting, and no separate steps through the CMS.

What will an AI app be able to do for you?

Ask for a draft news article based on a short briefing, and the AI app builds the page with sections, copy and layout. Have it find which images still have no alt text and write those texts right away. Make a copy of a page in another language and have it translated. Add a page to the menu at the position you indicate, or set up a redirect. And if you want a colleague to take a look before something goes live, ask for a preview link of the draft.

An AI app can also simply read along: look up content, explain the content model of your site or give an overview of what is on a site.

You stay in control

An AI app works on your behalf and can never do more than your own role in Plate allows. When you connect, you decide which sites the app may use and whether it may read, edit or delete. Deleting is only possible if your role allows it, and with a limit per hour. Every change appears in the version history, with your name and the AI app it was made with. Administrators also decide whether AI apps are allowed within their organisation.
