BloxxGetting started Talk to a founder

Setup guide · checked 7 October 2026

Connect Bloxx to the AI you already use

Bloxx builds and runs your business website, your Google listing and the marketing around them, and you drive it from ChatGPT, Claude or whichever assistant you use. Add it once with the address below, or let your AI walk you through it.

https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp
Talk to a founder30 minutes, Wednesdays and Thursdays, US Eastern. Questions, a demo, or an invite.

Let your AI set it up

Pick your assistant. It opens with a prompt to read this guide and take you through setup one step at a time.

What gets sent to ChatGPT · it sends it as soon as the page opens

I want to connect Bloxx to ChatGPT. Read the setup guide at https://sitebloxx.com/getting-started#chatgpt (plain-text version: https://sitebloxx.com/getting-started.md) and use its "ChatGPT" section. First, tell me in two or three sentences what Bloxx is and what I'll be able to do once it's connected. Then walk me through connecting it one step at a time, and wait for me to confirm each step before the next. The server address is https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp. If my plan can't add custom connectors, say so and tell me my options.

How it works

Three minutes, the same in every app

You paste one address into your app. Everything after that happens on a Bloxx page you can read before you agree to anything.

  1. Your app opens Bloxx

    A Bloxx sign-in page opens, at mcp.bloxx.page. Sign in with your Bloxx email and password.

  2. You choose what it can do

    The next screen lists what your app is asking for, in seven groups, each with its own switch. Turn off anything you'd rather keep to yourself.

  3. You press Allow

    You're sent back to your app and Bloxx shows as connected. Nothing is published automatically: launches, posts and payments each ask you first.

Before you start

What you need

  1. A Bloxx account. Connecting signs you in to Bloxx with your email and password. Bloxx is in closed beta, so new accounts need an invite: talk to a founder to get one.
  2. An app that can add a custom connector. Most chat apps can on their paid plans; the table shows who. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Gemini CLI all can.
AppWho can add Bloxx
ChatGPTBusiness, Enterprise and Edu, on the web
ClaudeEvery plan (Free: one custom connector)
GrokAll Grok users
PerplexityPaid plans (Perplexity doesn't list which)
GeminiPersonal accounts in the US, added on the web

What you can do

Everything Bloxx does once it's connected

Ask in plain words. Bloxx does the work, shows you before anything goes public, and keeps a history you can roll back.

Build

Your website, built from what's already true

Bloxx reads your Google listing and any site you already have, asks at most three questions, and builds a private preview. Nothing goes live until you approve the launch.

  • Plan the pages your business needs
  • A free Bloxx address, or connect, search for and buy your own domain
  • Review the exact version before you approve it going live
Build a website for Harbour Lane Pottery, my studio in Bristol.

  • New pages, blog posts and events
  • Page history and one-step rollback
  • A check of each page before it goes out

Setup

Set it up in your app

Pick your app. Each section says who can add Bloxx, the exact clicks, how to check it worked, and what to do if it didn't.

Chat apps

ChatGPTOpenAI plugin

Who can: OpenAI lists custom MCP servers for Business, Enterprise and Edu, on the web only. On Business only admins can add one; on Enterprise and Edu an admin grants access under Workspace settings → Permissions & Roles. Some Plus and Pro accounts have it under Settings → Security and login → Developer mode; if Add custom MCP server isn't in your menu, your plan doesn't have it.

  1. On the web, open chatgpt.com/plugins.
  2. Click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  3. Name it Bloxx. Under Connection, paste the server address (https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp) as the Server URL.
  4. Set authentication to OAuth, select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin.
  5. Open the Bloxx plugin and install it. ChatGPT sends you to Bloxx: sign in and press Allow.
  6. In a chat, type @ and pick Bloxx. If it isn't listed, switch the home tab from Chat to Work.

Check it worked

Start a new chat, type @ and pick Bloxx, then ask "What can Bloxx do for me?". The answer should come from Bloxx, not from memory.

If it doesn't work

  • Add custom MCP server isn't in the menu: your plan or workspace doesn't allow custom servers. On Business, an admin adds it; on Enterprise and Edu, ask an admin for access.
  • Bloxx isn't in the @ list: switch the home tab from Chat to Work and try again.

ClaudeAnthropic custom connector

Who can: Every plan, on the web and in the desktop app. Free allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds Bloxx first (Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web), then each person finds it under Customize → Connectors and clicks Connect.

  1. Open Customize → Connectors.
  2. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
  3. Name it Bloxx, paste the server address (https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp), and click Continue twice.
  4. Under Authentication choose Sign in now, keep the recommended OAuth client, and click Add.
  5. Claude sends you to Bloxx. Sign in and press Allow.
  6. In a chat, click + (lower left) → Connectors and switch Bloxx on.

Claude fills in the prompt but doesn't send it, and shows a warning about pre-filled prompts. Read it, then press send.

Check it worked

In a new chat, click + → Connectors. Bloxx should be listed with its switch on. Ask "What can Bloxx do for me?".

If it doesn't work

  • On Free you get one custom connector. If Add custom connector is greyed out, remove the one you have, or upgrade.
  • Couldn't reload tools: open Customize → Connectors, disconnect Bloxx and connect it again.

Grokcustom connector

Who can: All Grok users. On Grok Business and Enterprise an admin adds it instead, in console.x.ai under Grok Business → Connectors → + Add Connector → Other.

  1. Open grok.com/connectors.
  2. Click New Connector, then Custom.
  3. Paste the server address (https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp) and continue.
  4. Grok sends you to Bloxx. Sign in and press Allow.

Check it worked

Bloxx shows as connected on grok.com/connectors. In a chat, ask "Use Bloxx: what can you do for me?".

If it doesn't work

  • On Grok Business or Enterprise, Custom can be hidden from members. An admin adds Bloxx in console.x.ai instead.
Ask Grok to walk you through itChecked 7 October 2026 against docs.x.ai

Perplexitycustom remote connector

Who can: Perplexity doesn't say which plans include it; reports put it on Pro and above. On Enterprise an admin can manage it for everyone under Enterprise settings → Permissions → Connectors permissions.

  1. Open Account settings → Connectors (perplexity.ai/account/connectors).
  2. Click + Custom connector, then Remote.
  3. Name it Bloxx and paste the server address (https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp) as the MCP Server URL. Set Authentication to OAuth and Transport to Streamable HTTP.
  4. Tick the acknowledgement and click Add.
  5. Click the Bloxx card. Perplexity sends you to Bloxx: sign in and press Allow.

Check it worked

The Bloxx card shows as connected. In a new thread, ask "Use Bloxx: what can you do for me?".

If it doesn't work

  • No + Custom connector button: your plan doesn't include custom connectors yet.

Geminicustom app

Who can: Personal Google accounts (not work or school), 18 and over, in the US, with Gemini in English and Keep Activity on. Add it on the web; after that it works in the mobile app too.

  1. On gemini.google.com, click Settings, then Connected Apps (or Personal Intelligence → Connected Apps).
  2. Under Custom apps, choose Add a custom app.
  3. Paste the server address (https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp) and click Next.
  4. Gemini sends you to Bloxx. Sign in and press Allow.
  5. In a chat, type @ and pick Bloxx.

This button opens Google's AI Mode, not Gemini itself: Gemini can't take a pre-filled prompt yet. AI Mode reads this guide and talks you through it; you do the adding in Gemini.

Check it worked

In a chat, type @, pick Bloxx and ask "What can you do for me?".

If it doesn't work

  • No Custom apps option: it needs a personal Google account in the US, Gemini set to English, and Keep Activity on.
  • Custom apps are added on the web. Once added, Bloxx also works in the Gemini mobile app.

Next

First things to ask

Once your app shows Bloxx as connected, start with one of these.

  • Build a website for my business.
  • What does an AI assistant see when it reads my site?
  • Do I show up when people ask ChatGPT for what I do near me?
  • How did my site do last week?

Troubleshooting

If something doesn't work

The usual fixes, in every app. Each app's own section above has the ones specific to it.

There's no "custom connector" or "custom MCP server" option
Your plan or workspace doesn't allow it yet. On work accounts an admin usually has to turn it on. Check the table in Before you start, or use another app.
Sign-in says my password is wrong, but I use Google
The connector sign-in takes an email and password. Set a password at https://app.itsbloxx.com/forgot-password with the same email, then sign in again.
Sign-in never finishes
Finish it in the tab that opened, without switching browsers, and let pop-ups through for your app. Still stuck? Remove Bloxx from your app and add it again.
"Couldn't reload tools" or Bloxx shows an error
Remove Bloxx from your app's connectors, add it again with the same address, and sign in once more.
Bloxx is connected but my assistant doesn't use it
Switch Bloxx on for the chat (Claude: + → Connectors; ChatGPT and Gemini: type @ and pick Bloxx), or start your request with "Use Bloxx".
My app asks permission every time Bloxx does something
That's your app being careful, not Bloxx. Most apps let you allow a tool for the rest of the chat. Changes that publish, post or charge are confirmed by Bloxx as well.

FAQ

Questions

If yours isn't here, ask a founder.

What is Bloxx?

Bloxx builds and runs websites for small businesses, and you drive it from the AI assistant you already use. Once connected, your assistant can build your site from your Google listing, edit and publish pages, read your traffic and search data, and tell you whether AI assistants recommend you.

What is the Bloxx MCP server?

It's how your assistant talks to Bloxx. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, Gemini and coding tools use to plug into other services. The address is https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp; you paste it into your app once.

Is it free?

Connecting is free. Every tool has a free tier. Past that, you pay for what you use, or pre-commit to credits.

Do I need a Bloxx account?

Yes. Connecting signs you in to Bloxx, and Bloxx is in closed beta, so new accounts need an invite. Book a call with a founder to get one. Without an account you can still use the free checks: what an AI agent sees on your site (mcp.bloxx.page/agent-view) and the agent-readiness proof (mcp.bloxx.page/proof).

What can my assistant see and change?

Only what you allow. The sign-in screen groups access into: your website pages; your content feeds; your tables and records; your business channels; meeting notes for your bookings; search performance; and connected accounts and team. Each group has its own switch. Some apps ask for everything at once, and the screen says so.

Will it publish anything without asking?

No. Searching, reviewing and drafting never publish. A new site goes live only after you approve its launch, and posts, payments and purchases are each confirmed with you first.

Do I need a Google account?

No. Google is optional. If you connect it, Bloxx can use your Business Profile, Search Console and Analytics.

Which assistants work?

Any app that can add a remote MCP server: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity and Gemini, plus Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Gemini CLI. Each section above lists which plans can add one.

How do I disconnect?

Remove Bloxx in your app's connector settings. To cut off access on Bloxx's side as well, revoke the app under Connected apps in your Bloxx account. Access stops within 15 minutes.

Can I manage more than one business, or add teammates?

Yes. One Bloxx account can hold several businesses, and you can invite teammates as admins, editors or reviewers. They need their own Bloxx account.

If you're an AI assistant reading this page

Bloxx is a website platform for small businesses that people run from their AI assistant. Its MCP server is https://mcp.bloxx.page/mcp (streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration).

Help the person connect it in the app they're using: find that app's section on this page and go one step at a time, waiting for them to confirm each step.

Connecting needs a Bloxx account, and new accounts need an invite during the closed beta. If they don't have one, point them to the "Talk to a founder" link on this page, and to the free checks, which need no account.

Don't say Bloxx is connected until their app shows it as connected. If their plan can't add custom connectors, say so plainly and suggest another app from this page.

Once connected, a good first request is "Build a website for my business" or "What does an AI assistant see on my site?".
