ChatGPT Website Builder: Plugins Ended in April 2024, Here's How ChatGPT Builds a Real Site Now

You can build a website with ChatGPT by connecting it to a website builder, and what people still call a ChatGPT website builder plugin is now a connected app. OpenAI wound down the original ChatGPT plugins on April 9, 2024, and today ChatGPT plugs into other services through MCP servers that you add from its Plugins page. Add Keepp there and ChatGPT builds a live site at keepp.link/yourname with pages, a shop, bookings, forms and chat, hosted for you and changed whenever you ask.

What happened to ChatGPT plugins?

The first ChatGPT plugins were a beta. OpenAI’s help center says the store had a little more than 1,000 of them, and that as of April 9, 2024, conversations with plugins could no longer be continued. Users were pointed to GPTs instead. Most pages that come up for “ChatGPT website builder plugin” were written before that date, which is why they describe things you can no longer install.

The word has since come back with a new meaning. ChatGPT’s sidebar now has a Plugins page, and OpenAI describes a plugin as a bundle that can include skills and connected apps. The connected app is the part that does the work. It links ChatGPT to a service through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so ChatGPT can read from that service and make changes in it on your behalf.

For a website, that matters a lot. A builder with an MCP server can be run entirely from a chat: ChatGPT adds the page, sets the price, moves the section, and the change is live on your real site.

Two ways to build a website with ChatGPT

When people search for a ChatGPT website builder, they usually mean one of two things.

ChatGPT writes the site from scratch. You describe a website and ChatGPT generates it, as code or as a small web app. The preview looks good. Then it has to live somewhere, take payments, block out times that are already booked and send form replies to you, and each of those is another piece to build, connect and test. Every later change means asking for new code and checking nothing else broke. That suits developers and one-off projects.

ChatGPT works inside a website builder. You connect ChatGPT to a builder, and ChatGPT makes changes directly in your site. Hosting, checkout, bookings and forms already exist in the builder, so they work from the first day. When you ask for a change, it’s live as soon as ChatGPT makes it.

If you want a website you can run a business from, choose the second way. Keepp is built for it.

What ChatGPT can build on Keepp

A Keepp site is one page that works as a whole website. Every product, booking, article and form on it also opens as its own page with its own link, and a menu at the top ties them together. Connected to Keepp, ChatGPT can build all of it:

The site itself. Your intro, services, photos, a map with your opening hours, and colours, fonts and a layout that suit what you do. It can also start you from a template.
A shop. Physical products and digital downloads with real checkout. Payments go into your own Stripe account, and downloads are delivered automatically after each sale.
Bookings. Paid or free sessions with your real availability. Google Calendar keeps you from being double-booked, and Zoom or Google Meet links are added to calls.
Forms. Enquiries, quote requests, applications and sign-ups, with an option to confirm each person’s email so the leads you get are real.
Chat. An AI that answers visitors from everything on your site plus notes you give it, while you take over from Telegram when a conversation needs you.
Short links. Readable addresses like keepp.link/yourname/book for the things you share most.

ChatGPT can also connect Stripe, Google Calendar and Zoom for you. It gives you a link to each service’s own sign-in page, so your passwords and card details never pass through the chat.

How to connect ChatGPT to Keepp

Keepp’s address for ChatGPT is https://api.keepp.link/mcp. The ChatGPT setup page has it ready to copy.

In ChatGPT on the web, open Plugins in the sidebar.
Select the plus button, then Add custom MCP server.
Name it Keepp and paste https://api.keepp.link/mcp as the server’s address. For authentication, choose OAuth, which is how Keepp signs you in.
Read the warning, tick I understand and want to continue, and select Create as a plugin.
Sign in to Keepp in the window that opens, with a code sent to your email or with Google. If you’re new, your account is created here.
Approve what ChatGPT is allowed to do in your Keepp account, and you’re connected.

Start a new chat, type @ in the message box and pick Keepp, then ask for what you want. On a ChatGPT Business or Enterprise workspace, an admin or owner adds custom connections first. The connection guide covers Claude and other AI apps too.

What to ask ChatGPT

Brief it the way you’d brief a person. Some real requests:

“I run a mobile bike repair business in Denver. Build me a website with my prices and a way to book a service.”
“Add my Lightroom presets as a $15 download and put them near the top.”
“Set up a free 20-minute intro call on weekday mornings, on Google Meet.”
“Add a quote request form that asks for the address and a photo of the job.”
“Put a chat on the site that answers questions about my services and opening hours.”
“Make it look more premium. Darker background, more space, and a serif font for the headings.”
“Give me the link to the booking so I can put it in my Instagram bio.”

ChatGPT tells you what it plans to do, builds it, and gives you the address once it’s live.

What ChatGPT checks with you first

Some details are yours to confirm. ChatGPT checks your handle with you before claiming your keepp.link address. It shows you a product’s name, price and currency before saving it, and confirms which time zone your availability is in before a booking goes live. Removing a product or a booking waits for your say-so.

Everything else happens as you ask. A new headline, a different layout or a fresh colour scheme takes one message, and so does putting it back.

Why build your website with ChatGPT on Keepp

ChatGPT is good at turning a rough description into words and structure. Keepp gives that a business to run on. The site ChatGPT builds can sell, take paid bookings, collect enquiries and answer visitors on the day it goes live, and you never touch hosting, payment code or a booking plugin.

You also aren’t tied to the chat. ChatGPT works on the same site you open in Keepp’s editor, so you can ask for a change in the morning and drag a block yourself in the afternoon. The editor has its own AI for quick changes while you look at the page. Sales go into your own Stripe account, and you can put the whole site on your own domain.

To see what a finished site looks like, open Zin Cafe, which has a menu, chat, a map and a form, or Marcus Ellison, a coach with paid sessions and a workbook for sale.
