Bring your own AI

The assistant you already trust, given real hands

We don't sell you another chatbot. We give the assistant you already use — and already pay for — the ability to actually operate your website, through an open standard called MCP. It gets 88 specific things it can do, and a hard boundary around all of them.

Request access Where the boundary is

One address, two minutes

https://mcp.thedesignerscode.cloud/mcp
  1. 1 Claude or ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Gemini CLI: one block in ~/.gemini/settings.json.
  2. 2 Paste the address above
  3. 3 Sign in with the personal token we send you

That login is the boundary. It is what scopes your assistant to your sites and your plan.

Which assistants work

Verified, rather than hoped for

We list what we have actually connected and used ourselves. Anything else, we will test with you rather than promise in advance.

Everything else that speaks MCP

MCP is an open standard and the list of assistants that speak it keeps growing. If yours does, bring it — we will connect it with you and tell you straight if it does not work yet.

No AI at all? Say so on the access form. Getting you set up is part of onboarding.

If you don't have one yet

Which AI to get

You need one AI subscription, and it is the only part of this you buy from somebody else. All three below are connected and used by us; here is what we would pick, and what each one needs.

Claude

We build on this

Anthropic

What we build on, and what every release is tested against. This site was built through it. If you have no strong preference, take this one.

A paid plan — custom connectors are not on the free tier.

ChatGPT

Connected & used

OpenAI

Connects the same way Claude does — a custom connector, the same address, the same personal token. We connected a FREE ChatGPT account on 1 September, so there may be nothing to buy at all.

A free account worked for us. The custom-connector option reaches regions at different times, so update the app before deciding it is missing.

Gemini

Connected & used

Google

Connects through Gemini CLI: one block in a settings file carries the address and your token. Every step is written out in the welcome pack we send you.

Gemini CLI or the API today — MCP support in the consumer Gemini app is still arriving. We have not tried it on a free Google account, so we will not promise that part.

The shape of the permission

What it can do, and what it structurally can't

The right-hand list isn't a policy we promise to follow. It's what the platform will not let happen, whatever anyone types.

It can

Build and edit any page
Copy, layout, navigation, new pages, whole redesigns.
Wire working forms
Contact, booking, quote — then read the enquiries back to you.
Handle your photos
Send you an upload link, then place what you send, optimised and correctly sized.
Look at its own work
Screenshot the page as a browser renders it, read the console for errors, and check it doesn't break on a phone.
Manage products and prices
And put a PayFast checkout on your pages, on the Store plan.
Hand you a preview
For every draft — and publish only once you've said so.
Roll the site back
To any earlier release, instantly.
Tell you the truth about status
What's live, what changed, what's waiting on you.

It cannot

Touch another customer's site
Your sign-in scopes it to your sites. Other sites aren't hidden from it — they're invisible to it.
Use tools outside your plan
On Standard, the e-commerce tools do not appear in its list at all.
Put secrets in your pages
Payment credentials are held server-side and never reach a draft, a page or a chat.
Break the live site mid-change
A publish is one atomic swap. Visitors see the old site or the new one.
Publish without you
Unless you've explicitly asked it to schedule one.

The first conversation

It introduces itself to your site

Once connected, ask it what it can do. It reads your site, your plan and its own tool list, and answers honestly — including about the things it can't do.
