How access works #
Every Divi Connect site has one secret connector key, generated automatically when you activate the plugin. It looks like:
dvc_a1b2c3d4e5f60718293a4b5c6d7e8f90a1b2c3d4e5f60718
This key is what authorizes Claude to read your design system and build pages. It is used in two equivalent ways:
- In the MCP connector URL — the key is the last part of the URL:
https://yoursite.com/wp-json/divi-connect/v1/mcp/dvc_… - As a request header —
X-Divi-Connect-Key: dvc_…(used when working withcurl/terminal).
A request with the correct key is treated as an administrator on your site (that’s what lets it publish pages with valid Divi markup). So treat the key — and the MCP URL — like a password.
Treat the connector URL as a secret #
Because the key is embedded in the MCP URL, anyone who has that URL can build and delete pages on your site. Therefore:
- ✅ Paste it only into your own Claude account’s connector settings.
- ❌ Don’t post it in screenshots, support tickets, public repos, or shared docs.
- ❌ Don’t share it in a chat with anyone you don’t trust.
The screenshots in this guide use a fake sample key for exactly this reason.
Regenerating the key #
If a key is ever exposed (or you just want to rotate it):
- Go to Divi Connect → Connection.
- Click Regenerate next to the API Key.
- Confirm. A new key is generated immediately, and the old key (and old MCP URL) stops working at once.
After regenerating, update the connector in Claude with the new MCP URL.
Other security notes #
- HTTPS only for cloud. When connecting claude.ai (cloud), always use an
https://URL so the key isn’t sent in the clear. Local sites used with Claude Code/Desktop on the same machine are an exception. - Per-site keys. Each site has its own key, so a leak on one site never affects another.
- No data of yours leaves except what you build. The plugin exposes your design system and page operations to your Claude; it doesn’t send your content anywhere else.
- Uninstalling is clean. Removing the plugin deletes only its own options (the API key and plan flag). It never touches your Divi data — your colors, variables, and presets belong to your site and are left untouched.
Multi-site / agencies #
If you connect several sites to one Claude account, each connector is named after its site — for example “Divi Connect – Client A (clienta.com)”. Claude will also tell you which site it’s pointed at before building, so you can confirm you’re publishing to the right place.
A Pro 5-site or Unlimited plan is designed for this agency workflow. See Free vs Pro.
