Manage Jetpack AI settings

The Jetpack AI settings page is where you turn Jetpack AI features on or off and control what external AI agents can do on your site. Find it in WP Admin at Jetpack → Jetpack AI.

About the Jetpack AI settings pageMD

The Jetpack AI settings page collects the Jetpack AI controls in one place in WP Admin. On a self-hosted site it has three tabs:

• Overview: your AI request usage, quick links, and usage guides.
• AI Features: a switch for each group of Jetpack AI features.
• MCP and Connectors: access for external AI agents such as Claude, Cursor, and VS Code. Learn more about MCP here.

The Overview and AI Features tabs are available on self-hosted WordPress sites running Jetpack 16.2 or later.

Jetpack AI requirementsMD

Jetpack AI features are available on every connected site. Each site gets a number of free AI requests, and a paid plan raises that limit. See Create Better Content with Jetpack AI for current request limits.

MCP access requires a Jetpack Complete or Jetpack AI plan.

Turn all Jetpack AI features on or offMD

Turn every Jetpack AI feature on or off from My Jetpack:

1. Log in to your site’s WP Admin.
2. Go to My Jetpack → Products.
3. In the products list, switch the AI toggle off to hide all AI features, or on to make them available again.

When Jetpack AI is off, no Jetpack AI feature appears on your site. The AI Assistant block, the AI extensions in the block editor, and image generation are all unavailable. The switches on the “AI Features” tab keep their saved values and turn grey, and the tab shows the notice “Jetpack AI is turned off for this site.” Turning Jetpack AI back on restores every feature that was on before.

The jetpack_ai_enabled filter can still turn Jetpack AI off, but no filter can turn it back on while this switch is off.

Turn individual Jetpack AI features on or offMD

Each group of Jetpack AI features has its own switch on the “AI Features” tab.

1. Log in to your site’s WP Admin.
2. Go to Jetpack → Jetpack AI.
3. Select the “AI Features” tab.
4. Switch a feature on or off. Your choice saves right away. The features are:

• Writing Assistant: The AI Assistant block, the AI extensions in the block editor, AI-powered feedback, and AI-generated excerpts.
• Image Editor: Image Studio and the Jetpack image generation extensions, including featured images and site logos.
• AI SEO: AI suggestions for titles, meta descriptions, and content. This switch appears when Jetpack SEO Tools are active on your site and your plan includes them.
• AI Answers: AI answers in Jetpack Search results. This switch needs an eligible Jetpack Search plan. Where your site is not eligible, the Search section shows a Requires upgrade badge and the switch stays greyed. See AI Answers for more.

AI availability set by your hostMD

Hosting providers can turn off Jetpack AI for every site they host, using the WP_AI_SUPPORT constant. Where a host has done this, the “AI Features” tab reads “Jetpack AI is not available for this site,” no Jetpack AI features appear, and no upgrade offers are shown. Contact your hosting provider to find out whether AI features are available on your hosting plan.

View the activity logMD

The activity log shows recent actions taken by AI agents on your site. To view it:

1. Go to Jetpack → Jetpack AI. If the page shows a tab bar, select the “MCP and Connectors” tab.
2. Click Activity log.

The log displays a record of MCP tool executions, including what action was performed and when. This helps you monitor what your connected AI agents have done on your site.

TroubleshootingMD

Jetpack AI cannot be turned onMD

From Jetpack 16.2, Jetpack AI is a Jetpack module named ai. If your site limits which Jetpack modules are available, for example with the jetpack_active_modules or jetpack_get_available_modules filters, add ai to that list so Jetpack AI can be turned on from My Jetpack.
