ChatGPT plugins for Writing
65 plugins, apps and MCP servers in Writing, ranked by official status, traction and completeness. Page 1 of 2.
ChatGPT can draft on its own, so writing plugins are less about generating text and more about where the text goes and what it draws on: editing a Google Doc in place, publishing a draft to WordPress, translating a document with your company glossary, inserting citations from your reference library, or checking a draft for stock AI phrasing.
Three kinds of listing show up here. Plugins either bundle a connection with skills, like the Google Drive plugin's Docs and comments skills, or are skills alone, like community editing guides that change how ChatGPT revises your text. Apps connect to one service, such as DeepL, Gamma, PandaDoc or inblog. MCP servers connect publishing systems like WordPress.com, Sanity and Contentful to Codex or ChatGPT's developer mode.
Before connecting:
- Check publish rights. Publishing tools can post, update or delete live content. WordPress.com asks you to choose full or read-only access when you approve the connection; save as a draft until you've reviewed the result.
- Check plans with the service. WordPress.com's MCP server needs a paid plan (or a free site's first 30 days), and inblog's app requires its Team plan or higher.
- Know who made it. Many writing-style plugins are community skills rather than products from a company. Read what they change before you run them on a file.
- Keep sources honest. If a plugin inserts citations, check that each one exists and supports the sentence it is attached to.
Top picks for Writing
OpenAI's Google Drive plugin includes skills to read, edit and create Google Docs and to write, reply to and resolve Drive comments, so ChatGPT can work in the document rather than in the chat window. It suits anyone drafting with a team in Google Workspace. Try it on a copy first to see how it handles your formatting.
WordPress.com's built-in MCP server lets an AI client draft, edit and manage posts, pages and comments across every site on your account, with full or read-only access chosen at approval. MCP has to be turned on in your account preferences, and it needs a paid plan or a free site's first 30 days. For self-hosted WordPress, see WPWriter.
DeepL's app translates text across more than 100 languages and translates whole Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF files while keeping their layout. It applies the glossaries, style rules and custom instructions from your DeepL account, and DeepL Write can rephrase or correct text. It suits teams publishing in several languages.
OpenAI's Zotero plugin searches your Zotero library, inserts citations into a draft, exports BibTeX and imports references. It works through the Zotero desktop app, so you need Zotero installed. It suits academics and students writing papers in Codex.
A community plugin by Conor Bronsdon that audits a draft for recurring AI-style patterns and rewrites only what needs changing, keeping your voice, facts, quotes, links and numbers intact. It can flag without rewriting, or edit a named file in place and check what was preserved. Its flags are writing-quality signals, not proof of AI authorship.

- Can ChatGPT edit my Google Docs directly?
Yes, with the Google Drive plugin. Its Google Docs skill reads, edits and creates Docs, and its comments skill writes, replies to and resolves comments, so you can ask for a revision pass and review it in Docs. Connect your Google account when prompted, and start a new chat after installing so the skills are available. For Word files in SharePoint or OneDrive, the SharePoint plugin finds and summarizes documents.
- Which ChatGPT plugins publish to WordPress?
For WordPress.com, use the official WordPress.com MCP server, which drafts and edits posts, pages and comments with full or read-only access. It needs a paid plan or a free site's first 30 days, and Jetpack-connected sites with Jetpack AI or Complete also work. For self-hosted WordPress, the WPWriter app writes, schedules and publishes posts after you connect through a WordPress approval link. Save as draft first.
- Is there a ChatGPT plugin for citations?
OpenAI's Zotero plugin searches your Zotero library, inserts citations and exports BibTeX. For finding sources, Consensus builds literature reviews and bibliographies from peer-reviewed papers, and the community arXiv server exports BibTeX for arXiv papers. Check that every citation exists and supports your claim before you submit work. More tools are in the Research category.
- Can ChatGPT translate documents and keep the formatting?
DeepL translates Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, HTML and subtitle files while keeping their layout, and applies the glossary and style rules from your DeepL account. That makes it a better fit than pasting text into a chat when layout or terminology matters. Teams on Smartling can translate with their glossary and manage translation jobs from ChatGPT. Have a fluent reviewer check anything customer-facing.
