Connect ChatGPT

beginner

Last updated Aug 23, 2026

ChatGPT can connect to PageWebPro and use the full set of editing tools, but only with developer mode switched on. That is a ChatGPT setting, not a PageWebPro one, and it is worth understanding why before you go looking for it.

Why developer mode is required

ChatGPT has two ways of using an external server.

The ordinary connector path is built for searching and reading documents. It expects a server that offers two specific tools — one called search and one called fetch — and it only uses those two.

PageWebPro is not a document store. It offers around 110 tools for building and editing sites, and none of them is a generic search or fetch. So on the ordinary path ChatGPT finds nothing it recognises.

Developer mode is the path that lets ChatGPT use a server's own tools as they actually are. That is the one that works here. It is not a workaround or an unsupported hack — it is the supported way to connect a full MCP server, and it is the same mode ChatGPT uses for any tool server that does real work.

Turn on developer mode and add the connector

  1. Copy your connection address from PageWebPro, under Account → Settings → Connected AI agents → Change:

    https://app.pagewebpro.com/mcp/editor

  2. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors, find the advanced or developer options, and enable developer mode.

  3. Add a new connector, paste the address, and confirm.

  4. ChatGPT sends you to PageWebPro to sign in. Sign in with your normal login.

  5. Approve the screen headed "Authorize <the app> — PageWebPro". Check the account email shown is the right one, then choose Authorize.

Developer mode is a beta surface and is available on paid ChatGPT plans. The menu labels move between releases — if "developer mode" is not where this says, look under Settings → Connectors → Advanced.

Using it in a conversation

Connectors are usually enabled per conversation rather than globally. In a new chat, turn the PageWebPro connector on for that chat before asking for work. If the assistant claims it has no access to your sites, this is almost always what is missing.

Ask it to run whoami first — that confirms the connection is live and shows which account it is acting as.

Approvals before changes

ChatGPT asks you to confirm before it runs a tool, and asks again for anything marked as destructive — deleting a page, removing a section, replacing your brand settings. That prompt is ChatGPT's, not ours.

This matters when you read an error: if you see something like "No approval received", the request never reached PageWebPro and nothing was changed. It means the confirmation was declined or timed out. Ask again and approve.

Disconnecting

Removing the connector in ChatGPT removes it from your ChatGPT settings but does not revoke the permission it holds. To actually revoke it, go to Account → Settings → Connected AI agents → Change in PageWebPro, find the app under Connected apps (signed in via OAuth), and choose Revoke.
