How to Set Up AI for Your Tables

Connect Claude (or another MCP-compatible AI) to Data Tables Generator and start managing your tables in plain English. One-time setup, takes about a minute.

Before you start

How you use AI depends on how you use your Data Tables.

Native AI connection Read & Analyse

If your tables don’t change often

Create your tables manually. Use your AI tool to read and analyse (works with the free plugin).

  • Ask questions about your tables
  • View and analyse data
  • Works with Free or Pro plugin tiers
With Data Tables PRO Create, Edit & Manage

If your tables change frequently

Let AI do the work for you — included in every Data Tables PRO licence.

  • Create new tables from a description
  • Edit and delete existing tables
  • Update data, formatting, and structure
  • Import and export data
A note on AI plans. To use AI reliably, we recommend a paid AI plan such as Claude Pro or Cursor IDE. Free AI plans may connect, but they are not reliable for editing tasks — they can stop mid-process due to usage limits.

1Install the plugin

  1. Install and activate Data Tables Generator (the free plugin)
  2. To create and edit tables with AI, also install Data Tables Generator PRO and activate its licence

2Create a WordPress Application Password

This allows the AI to securely connect to your site. Application Passwords are a built-in WordPress feature — no plugin required.

  1. Go to Users → Profile
  2. Scroll to Application Passwords
  3. Enter a name (e.g. AI Access)
  4. Click Add New
  5. Copy the password — you’ll use it in Step 3
Save it now. WordPress shows the Application Password only once. If you lose it, you’ll need to generate a new one.

3Connect your AI tool

We recommend Claude for the smoothest experience. Two paths:

Option A — Simple Setup (recommended for most users)

No coding required.

  1. Open your AI tool
  2. Add a new connection. In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Connector
  3. Enter the connector details:
    Name: Data Table MCP Server
    Remote MCP server URL: https://mcp.supsystic.com/dt/mcp
  4. Open Advanced Settings and enter (the literal value Claude in both fields):
    OAuth Client ID: Claude
    OAuth Client Secret: Claude
  5. Click Add
  6. Click Connect and provide:
    • Your WordPress site URL
    • Your Application Password (from Step 2)
  7. Click Connect to finish.

Go to Test the connection below.

Option B — Advanced Setup (developers)

For Cursor IDE or manual setups.

You’ll need Node.js installed and your Application Password.

  1. Install the MCP bridge:
    npm install -g mcp-remote
  2. Connect to: https://mcp.supsystic.com/dt/mcp
  3. Authenticate using your WordPress URL and Application Password.

Go to Test the connection below.

Test the connection

Quick sanity check:

“List all my tables”

If that works, AI is connected. Try these next — paste each prompt separately and wait for the result before sending the next:

1. “Summarise [table name] — what’s most interesting?”

2. “Find patterns or anomalies in [table name]”

3. “What’s the highest value in [column name]? What does it tell you?”

That’s the magic — AI reading and analysing your data on command. No SQL, no formulas, no exports.

Using Data Tables PRO? Now try writing — paste each prompt separately and wait for the result before sending the next:

1. “Create a sample ‘Inventory’ table with columns for Product, Quantity, and Price, plus 10 example rows”

2. “Add a ‘Total Value’ column to Inventory (Quantity × Price), then highlight any row over $100 in red”

3. “Delete the Inventory table”

What used to take you hours, now takes a sentence.

Troubleshooting

If it’s not working, check:

  • Application Password entered correctly
  • Correct MCP URL — https://mcp.supsystic.com/dt/mcp
  • Using a paid AI plan
  • Plugin installed and active
