Get Started with MonkBot

From zero to a fully connected AI assistant for your WordPress site in three steps.

Create an Account & Get Your API Key

1
Sign up
Visit monkbot.app/sign-in and create a free account. Verify your email address when prompted.
2
Generate an API Key
After signing in, go to your Dashboard. Click "Get a New Key" to generate your MonkBot API key. Copy it and keep it safe — you'll need it in Step 3.
3
Add your domain
On the Dashboard, click + Add Domain and enter your WordPress site's domain (e.g. yoursite.com). This authorises your site to use the API key. You must verify your email before adding a domain.

1
Download the plugin
Download the MonkBot plugin zip using the button below. You must be logged in to access the download.
2
Install in WordPress
In your WordPress admin panel go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Upload the monkbot-plugin.zip file and click Install Now, then Activate.
3
Add your API Key
After activation, go to MonkBot → Settings in the WordPress sidebar. Paste your API key from Step 1 into the API Key field and click Save Settings. MonkBot will validate your key and domain automatically.
4
Test it
Go to MonkBot in the WordPress sidebar and type a message. If the connection is working, MonkBot will respond. If you see a validation error, double-check that the domain registered on monkbot.app exactly matches your WordPress site URL.

Download the latest version of the Monkbot WordPress integration plugin. Version 1.3.0.
