Let claude.ai, ChatGPT and Claude Desktop work on your site over MCP, signing in with OAuth instead of a pasted password. And use your own AI key inside the builders.
Elementor 4.3's own Elementor MCP connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex and Cursor with an application password.
The short answer
AI & Connections is an Animation Addons for Elementor Pro extension that lets you connect Claude and ChatGPT to WordPress / Elementor: claude.ai, ChatGPT and Claude Desktop work on your site over MCP (Model Context Protocol) with OAuth sign-in, and you can use your own AI key inside the builders.
MCP is the open standard AI apps use to talk to outside tools. OAuth is the "sign in and approve" pattern behind buttons like "Sign in with Google": the AI app gets access without you copying a password into a chat.

Demo variations
Every demo uses AI & Connections from Animation Addons Pro on Elementor 4's own elements. The settings on each card are a good place to start.
In claude.ai, the Northwind Studio client site appears as a connection after a one-time OAuth sign-in.
ChatGPT connected to the Paywise marketing site through the same OAuth sign-in.
Claude Desktop lists the Bakehouse & Co. site among its connections.
The site's builders use the clinic group's own AI key.
In claude.ai, each client site is its own named connection, so a chat about one client only uses that client's site.
Features
Every point below is a real control in the AI & Connections screen or part of how it works. Nothing here needs custom code.
claude.ai, ChatGPT and Claude Desktop are named, so there is no plugin-specific chat window to learn.
Connections use OAuth: you sign in on your own site and return to the chat. No password goes into a prompt.
Use your own AI key inside the builders, from the AI provider account you already have.
MCP is the open standard AI apps use for tools, which is why the same extension can serve Claude and ChatGPT.

Honest comparison
Elementor 4.3 added Elementor MCP, and it is good. Elementor says it lets AI clients "read page structures, build Atomic elements, manage global classes and variables, connect dynamic data, and update site templates natively". If you work in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, start there.
AI & Connections is for a different setup: people who work in claude.ai or ChatGPT, and owners who prefer an OAuth sign-in to an application password.
