Unblock AI
This page shows you the two ways to work with AI in Unblock, and where to start with each one.
Whichever you use, the AI builds with real Unblock blocks and styles. What it makes stays editable in the editor, by hand or with AI.
Two ways to work
| The AI chat | Your AI client | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | In the editor's sidebar | In Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another app, connected over MCP |
| What you need | An API key from an AI provider, in Settings → Connectors | The AI app you already use, and the MCP Adapter plugin, installed in one click |
| What it works on | The page or template open in the editor | The whole site: pages, templates, media, fonts, settings |
| Best for | Quick changes and new sections on the page you're editing | Building pages or a whole site, and long sessions |
| Who can use it | Anyone who can edit posts | Administrators, by default |
Expecting the chat to use your Claude or ChatGPT plan. The chat calls your provider's API with a key, billed by the provider. Your subscription works over MCP, from the provider's own app.
What both share
Both live in the same sidebar. Click Unblock AI, the button with the sparkles in the editor toolbar, then pick the Chat or MCP tab.
Both need an active Unblock license. Without one, the sidebar shows Unblock AI is locked.
Both are on by default. To turn one off, open the Unblock modal from the editor toolbar, go to the Settings panel, Editor tab: under AI, AI assistant turns off the chat, and MCP sessions turns off every AI client.

- Prompting tips: get better answers.
With your AI client

- Audit your site before launch.
Developers will find every tool, the right it needs and its errors in MCP Tools.
