--- title: Features — MemberPress.ai description: Configuring is the part you didn't sign up for. Set up a membership site by conversation, get real MemberPress courses as drafts, and find the leaks costing you money, from wp-admin or your own AI assistant. You say it once; it handles the rest. image: https://memberpress.ai/og/features.png url: https://memberpress.ai/features/ --- Features # The work you'd rather not do, _done_. Every hour in wp-admin is an hour away from your members. Tell Opal what you want and she does it: builds the site, writes the course, finds the money you're losing and tells you how to fix it. [Video](https://pub-0d3b698f9f4b4d78b4b87cc06192a2b1.r2.dev/hero-features.mp4) Your first payment, and after ## Opal gets you to your first payment, _then keeps helping you grow_. 1. ### Your Join page goes live Tell Opal what you sell. She sets up your levels and your Join and Checkout pages, then tells you what's left before anyone can pay.

You have the material. Assembling it is what eats your week.

You already have an assistant you like. Keep it. Run the whole site from wp-admin, or connect your own Claude or ChatGPT with one URL and run it from there. Your site serves its own MCP server on your domain, so your assistant does the thinking and your site does the doing. Same guardrails either way. MCP endpoint on your own domain Connect on your own login Building for agents? The endpoint, sign-in and tool details are on the [agents page](https://memberpress.ai/agents/) and in [llms.txt](https://memberpress.ai/llms.txt). In testing: [AI assistants that can buy your membership](https://memberpress.ai/agent-payments/), with a person approving the price. Meet Opal ## One assistant, _every site you run_.

After setup, a change through your site’s own endpoint runs as a dry-run preview first, and generated content lands as an unpublished draft. ### Your password never leaves your site. The AI lives inside your site. You authorize it on your own domain, on your own login, and revoke it there any time. No credentials sit on anyone else's server. ### No training on your data. Your site, your member list, your payment gateway — they stay yours. Nothing about your business trains a model. ## Be the expert again, _not the admin._ Free reads it and explains the numbers.
