Connect SDP MCP to your AI tool

Connect your preferred AI tool to SDP, then add forms, listings, products or courses when you need them.

Beginner guide · Published on 5 September, 2026

What you are connecting

  1. Start with website management

    MCP is the connection that lets an AI client use a service's tools. The website builder connection lets a compatible client work with your accessible SDP websites. You can use the dashboard and Ask AI without installing an external MCP client.

    OAuth sign-in connects your SDP account. The website or company permissions on that account still matter.

  2. Choose the connection for your task

    Server nameUse it forRemote URL
    sdp-platformWebsite pages, components, templates, media and publishing.https://sdp-api.sdp-platform.com/mcp/website-builder
    sdp-custom-formsCustom forms and related form tasks.https://themes-production.sdp-platform.com/mcp/custom-forms
    sdp-listingsDirectory and listing tasks.https://themes-production.sdp-platform.com/mcp/listings
    sdp-productsProduct catalogue tasks.https://themes-production.sdp-platform.com/mcp/products
    sdp-coursesCourse content and learning catalogue tasks.https://themes-production.sdp-platform.com/mcp/courses

    Begin with sdp-platform. The other servers are optional for this website-management learning path. Connecting a server does not itself enable the matching business module on your website.

Follow the setup guide for your AI tool

  1. Open the existing SDP MCP connection guide

    How to Set Up SDP MCP (opens in a new tab)

    The guide includes Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Antigravity and OpenCode. Choose the instructions for your own tool.

  2. Connect your SDP account

    Follow your tool's setup instructions using the website-builder URL above. Sign in with the SDP account that has access to your website and review the requested access.

  3. Check the right website is available

    Ask: Use sdp-platform to list the websites I can manage. Make no changes. Check the website name and URL before asking for an edit.

Add other task connections when needed

  1. Use the server for the task

    Follow your AI tool's remote MCP setup process again using the forms, listings, products or courses URL from the table. Authenticate each connection separately. A connected website-builder server does not mean the others are authenticated.

  2. Start with a small, clear request

    Name the website and the item you want to inspect. Ask your AI tool to read it first, then request a focused change and review the result before publishing.

Check your progress

Your AI tool reports sdp-platform connected, and a read-only request lists the correct website.

If you get stuck

Needs authentication? Open that server’s connection settings in your AI tool and sign in again. Connected but no website? Check the SDP account and website permissions. Missing connection? Check the URL and enabled setting. Follow the troubleshooting instructions for your tool in How to Set Up SDP MCP.

Try this with AI

Replace the example website and page with your own before sending.

Use sdp-platform to inspect [my website] and find [page URL]. Explain the page's sections and suggest three improvements. Make no changes.
