Connect ChatGPT

Who can do this: ChatGPT on chatgpt.com in a browser, not the mobile apps. Your plan and workspace decide whether custom MCP servers are available. On a Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace an admin has to allow them first.

Steps

1. Open Plugins from the left sidebar, select the plus button, then Add custom MCP server.

   If the menu has no Add custom MCP server, turn on Developer mode in Settings first (under Apps, then Advanced settings, or under Security and login) and open the menu again.

2. Name it Ticker, paste the server URL under Connection, choose OAuth, accept the warning, then select Create as a plugin.

   Add a short description too: the model reads it to decide when to reach for Ticker. Keep the /mcp path on the end of the URL; without it the plugin will not connect. The warning's button reads I understand and want to continue. Leave any client ID and secret fields empty.

3. Install Ticker and sign in. In a new chat, type @ and pick Ticker.

   ChatGPT reads Ticker's OAuth settings from the server and registers itself. Tool descriptions are captured when the plugin is created: if Ticker's tools change later, press Refresh on the plugin.

   

Worth knowing

The menu keeps moving

OpenAI renamed Connectors to Plugins in July 2026 and now offers Add custom MCP server from the Plugins plus menu. Older guides still say Connectors, or start with the Developer mode toggle.

Ticker needs no client ID or secret

The server registers your client automatically and uses PKCE. Leave any OAuth client fields empty.
