MCP support
INITE runs a remote MCP server for each business, with read-only tools for business facts, services, hours, locations, and FAQs. A site connector serves the content from the business's own domain.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project READMEINITE Agents
An AI agent that comes to your site gets the facts your business confirmed. That is the whole promise, and it is narrow on purpose. INITE Agents does not promise more recommendations or more traffic. It promises that ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or an agent in a visitor's browser gets your real services, prices, hours, locations and answers when it reads your site, and gets nothing you did not confirm.
You confirm the facts once in the INITE cabinet. INITE generates the files agents look for and runs an MCP server for your business. A connector on your site then serves everything from your own domain.

What INITE never does
- Publishes a fact or a price you did not confirm.
- Puts an article on your site that you did not approve.
- Keeps a route claimed by a switched-off connector. Every connector switches off whole, and a feature that is off claims no URL and prints nothing.
- Sends your site key anywhere but
https://inite.ai. Connectors build every address from that origin and never follow a redirect with the key. - Lets an INITE outage take your site down. Connectors keep a copy and refresh it on a timer: hourly from WP-Cron in WordPress, at most once per period in Next.js, with a five-second limit. If INITE is down, the last good copy is served.

The connectors' code lives in INITE's private monorepo. inite-agents-wordpress and site-agents are read-only mirrors of it, updated on every change. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
