How to Connect Your Own AI Agent to Manage Your Site

Use this guide when you want to give Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another AI tool access to manage your 1ClickWebsite site.

What you need

• Your site URL, such as https://example.com
• Your WordPress username or email
• A WordPress application password
• The external agent guide: https://1clickwebsite.ai/ai-agent-guide

Your AI tool will not be able to manage the site from the guide link alone. It also needs the site URL, username, and application password for the site you want it to edit.

How to create a WordPress application password

1. Open WordPress admin

Log in to your site’s WordPress dashboard.

2. Open the users list

Go to Users > All Users.

3. Edit your user profile

Hover over your user profile and click Edit.

4. Name the application password

Scroll to New Application Password Name. Enter a name such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor so you can identify it later.

5. Create the application password

Click Add Application Password.

6. Copy the generated password

Click Copy to copy the application password WordPress displays. Keep it private and use it with the AI tool you want to connect.

WordPress may display the password with spaces. That is okay; your AI tool may remove the spaces when it uses the password.

What to give your AI tool

Send your AI tool a message like this:

Use this guide to manage my 1ClickWebsite site:
https://1clickwebsite.ai/ai-agent-guide

Site URL: https://example.com
WordPress username: your-email@example.com
WordPress application password: paste-the-application-password-here

The AI tool should use the guide to inspect the site, make focused changes, and verify the result.

Security considerations

For quick edits, you can paste the username and application password into the AI tool when it asks for them.

For a more secure local setup, ask your AI tool to create an environment file that you can paste the credentials into. For example:

SITE_URL=https://example.com
WP_USERNAME=your-email@example.com
WP_APPLICATION_PASSWORD=paste-the-application-password-here

Only do this on a device and project folder you trust. Do not commit application passwords to GitHub or share them in public files.

An application password is different from your normal WordPress login password. It is created from your WordPress profile by following the steps above, and it can be revoked later without changing your regular login password.

How to remove access later

1. Open your WordPress dashboard.
2. Go to Users.
3. Open your user profile.
4. Scroll to Application Passwords.
5. Find the password you created for the AI tool.
6. Click Revoke.

If the AI tool cannot connect, double-check the site URL, username, and application password. If it still does not work, contact support.
