Before you connect
Your Gateway questions, answered.
Plans, permissions, compatibility, and what happens when a request reaches your sites.
What is Cloud Gateway?+
Cloud Gateway is the hosted MCP connection between your AI client and the WordPress sites connected to your EMCP Cloud workspace. Add the Gateway once to your client, authorize access, and select a site or run supported read operations across your workspace.
Is the Gateway included in the Free plan?+
No. The Gateway is included with Freelancer and Agency Cloud plans. Free accounts include limited artifact storage and connected sites for other Cloud features; they do not include Gateway access.
Which AI clients can I connect?+
Use a client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth. Add the Gateway URL in its remote-server or connector settings and complete Cloud authorization. Configuration varies by client; follow the hosted Gateway setup guide for connection details.
Does every connected site need EMCP Tools Pro?+
Each site needs the EMCP Tools plugin and must grant Gateway access when connecting to Cloud. The free plugin works with the Gateway. Your plugin license and enabled integrations determine which tools a particular site offers; a paid Cloud plan does not unlock Pro plugin features.
Can one request change multiple sites?+
Supported read operations can run across sites. Broadcast writes are disabled by default: they require the workspace setting to be enabled and an explicit confirmation on the individual call. Each site still applies its own permissions and tool availability.
What if a site is offline or does not have a tool?+
A broadcast returns a result for each targeted site, so you can distinguish completed calls from sites that could not be reached or do not support the requested tool. Review individual results before deciding what to retry.
What appears in activity history?+
Hosted Gateway tool requests include the tool name, site context, reported outcome, duration, and downstream attempts. Detailed records are retained for up to 90 days. Credentials, request arguments, and response content are excluded. An unconfirmed outcome means completion could not be established; inspect the site before repeating a write.
Can I revoke access to an individual site?+
Yes. Each site issues its own revocable OAuth credential. You can revoke the Gateway authorization on that WordPress site or disconnect it from Cloud. Your WordPress password is not shared with the Gateway.
Are Cloud and the Pro plugin separate purchases?+
Yes. EMCP Tools runs on each WordPress site and provides its MCP tools. Cloud hosts the multi-site Gateway and supporting account features. Cloud and plugin licenses are separate. Existing Pro owners can claim their Cloud discount from the billing area in their account.
