About

Jetpack connects your WordPress site to ChatGPT, Claude, and the other AI agents you already use. Ask in plain language to draft a post, see which pages got the most views, check your backups, or run a security scan, and your agent takes care of it on your site. There’s no MCP server to set up or host.

That works because Jetpack plugs your site into WordPress.com’s cloud, the same infrastructure that runs millions of sites. The heavy lifting happens there instead of on your host: backups stored off-site with one-click restores and full site migration, malware scanning, brute force protection, downtime monitoring, site analytics with Jetpack Stats, spam filtering, an image CDN, and ad-free video hosting. Plus a firewall, SEO tools, newsletters, social sharing, and forms.

“All these years later, Jetpack is the iCloud for my WordPress.” Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress (review)

Installation is free, quick, and easy. From your WordPress dashboard, add a new plugin, search for Jetpack, and install it. Activate it and connect your WordPress.com account, then open Jetpack AI in your Jetpack menu to connect your AI agent. Unlock real-time backups, one-click malware fixes, and advanced stats by upgrading to a paid plan.

We have a global team of Happiness Engineers ready to provide incredible support. Ask your questions in the support forum or contact support.

Manage your site from the AI tools you already use. Connect ChatGPT or Claude in a few clicks, then ask for what you need in plain language. Your agent can work with more than your posts and pages: Jetpack also gives it your stats, backups, security scans, and newsletter, so one conversation covers your whole site.

Jetpack Protect watches your site around the clock, and VaultPress Backup keeps a copy of everything off-site so you can undo any mistake. Login protection and basic downtime monitoring are free.

Get every security feature in Jetpack Pro or Complete, or buy VaultPress Backup, Scan, and Akismet Anti-spam on their own.

Get clear site statistics without being a data scientist.

Jetpack AI works right in the WordPress editor. Give it a prompt and it drafts posts, pages, lists, and tables, then helps you edit and translate them.

Jetpack is updated monthly to work with the plugins and services you already use.

Each of these is also available as its own plugin:
