Do I need a ReviewWidget account?

Yes. The AI app signs in as you, so it needs your ReviewWidget account. Sign-up is by waiting list right now. Join it at googlereviews.innerpi.com/waitlist.

Which plans can use it?

Every ReviewWidget account can connect AI apps. Your AI app may need a paid plan for custom connectors. The steps for each app above say what to check.

Why did the popup say "access denied"?

The sign-in did not finish. You may have clicked Don’t allow, your account may not be approved yet, or the app sent a request we could not accept. Close the window and connect again. If it keeps happening, sign in to the dashboard first and then connect.

How do I disconnect an AI app?

Go to Settings in the dashboard and find Connected AI apps. Click Disconnect next to the app. It loses access right away. Signing out or changing your password disconnects every AI app.

AI connections are turned off right now.

Connected apps work again as soon as they are back on.

AI apps (MCP)

Use ReviewWidget from Claude, ChatGPT and your AI tools

Ask your AI app about your reviews, widgets and guest texts, and let it make changes for you.

https://googlereviews.innerpi.com/api/mcp

When you connect, a ReviewWidget window asks you to sign in and click Allow.

Connect your AI app

Open Claude.ai and go to Settings, then Connectors.
Click "Add custom connector". Name it ReviewWidget and paste this address.
```
https://googlereviews.innerpi.com/api/mcp
```
Click Add, then Connect. A ReviewWidget window opens. Sign in if it asks, then click Allow.
In a chat, turn on ReviewWidget in the tools menu and ask a question.

Custom connectors depend on your Claude plan. Check what your plan includes in Claude settings before you start.

Open ChatGPT and go to Settings, then Apps and Connectors.
Under Advanced settings, turn on Developer mode.
Fill in the form for a new app: name it ReviewWidget, paste this address and choose OAuth for sign-in.
```
https://googlereviews.innerpi.com/api/mcp
```
Click Create. A ReviewWidget window opens. Sign in if it asks, then click Allow.

Developer mode depends on your ChatGPT plan, and on some plans only an admin can turn it on. Check yours before you start.

Run this command in your terminal.

claude mcp add --transport http reviewwidget https://googlereviews.innerpi.com/api/mcp

Start Claude Code and type /mcp. Pick reviewwidget and choose to sign in.
Your browser opens. A ReviewWidget window opens. Sign in if it asks, then click Allow.
Optional: instead of the command above, install the ReviewWidget plugin inside Claude Code. It adds the same server plus a skill that picks a layout, creates the widget and installs it on your site. The plugin is in a private GitHub repository, so it only installs for people with access to innerpi/ReviewWidget.
```
/plugin marketplace add innerpi/ReviewWidget
/plugin install reviewwidget@reviewwidget
```

Works on every plan that includes Claude Code.

Open Cursor Settings, then MCP, and click "Add new global MCP server". This opens your mcp.json file.

Add ReviewWidget to the file and save it.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reviewwidget": {
      "url": "https://googlereviews.innerpi.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor lists ReviewWidget with a Login button. Click it. A ReviewWidget window opens. Sign in if it asks, then click Allow.

Your Cursor plan or team settings can limit MCP servers. Check with your admin if the MCP settings are missing.

In your project, create the file .vscode/mcp.json with this content.

{
  "servers": {
    "reviewwidget": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://googlereviews.innerpi.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Open the file and click Start above the reviewwidget entry. VS Code asks to sign in. Click Allow.
A ReviewWidget window opens. Sign in if it asks, then click Allow. Then open Copilot Chat in Agent mode and ask a question.

Needs GitHub Copilot in VS Code. Your organization can turn off MCP servers, so check with your admin if they do not show.
