MCP Servers for ChatGPT
OpenAI rolled out the Apps SDK in October 2025 and full MCP client support inside ChatGPT later that year. Two paths are available: install a one-click app from the official ChatGPT Apps directory (chatgpt.com/apps), or add your own remote MCP server through Developer mode (paid plans). Both speak MCP under the hood — but ChatGPT only accepts remote HTTPS endpoints, never stdio.
Set up MCP in ChatGPT
Four steps to connect your first MCP server.
- 1
Pick an app from the directory
Visit chatgpt.com/apps for the curated list of OpenAI-reviewed integrations — Spotify, Canva, Figma, GitHub, Stripe, Booking.com, Zillow, and dozens more. One click connects the app to your account; OAuth handles the auth.
- 2
Or enable Developer mode for custom servers
For any MCP server not in the directory: open Settings → Connectors → Advanced and toggle Developer mode on. Available on Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu plans. Free and Plus users can only use directory apps.
- 3
Add a custom remote connector
Click "Add custom connector", paste the server's remote HTTPS URL (typically ending in /sse or /mcp), name it, and pick the auth method. ChatGPT calls the server's tools directly — there is no local process.
- 4
Approve tool calls
By default ChatGPT asks permission before invoking any MCP tool, especially for write actions. You can switch to per-conversation or always-allow once you trust a server — keep it on "ask" while you're experimenting.
Config file locations

Example configjson
// ChatGPT manages MCP through its UI, not a local config file.
// When adding a custom remote connector, you supply values that
// correspond to this shape (URL is the only required field):
{
"name": "My remote MCP",
"transport": "http",
"url": "https://my-mcp.example.com/sse",
"auth": { "type": "oauth-2.1" }
}
// Note: ChatGPT does NOT support stdio MCP servers. To use a
// stdio-only server (e.g. Filesystem, Memory, Sequential Thinking)
// inside ChatGPT, you must first deploy it to a public HTTPS
// endpoint — for example with Cloudflare Workers or Vercel.Top MCPs for ChatGPT

FAQ: MCP in ChatGPT
Does ChatGPT support MCP servers?
Yes — in two ways. (1) The official ChatGPT Apps directory at chatgpt.com/apps lists OpenAI-reviewed integrations (Spotify, Canva, Figma, GitHub, Stripe, etc.) that install in one click. (2) Pro / Team / Enterprise / Edu users can add custom remote MCP servers through Developer mode in Settings → Connectors. Both paths use the same MCP protocol underneath.
Why doesn't ChatGPT support stdio MCP servers?
ChatGPT runs in the cloud and cannot launch local processes on your machine. Every MCP server it talks to has to be reachable over HTTPS. Stdio servers (Filesystem, Memory, Sequential Thinking, and others) work in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code because those clients spawn child processes locally — ChatGPT can't. To use a stdio-only server in ChatGPT, deploy it to a public HTTPS endpoint first (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, Fly, and similar all work).
Do I need a paid plan to use MCP in ChatGPT?
Apps from the directory are available to all logged-in users on Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans (currently outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK). Custom remote MCP connectors via Developer mode require ChatGPT Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu.
Where are ChatGPT's MCP configs stored?
Unlike Claude Desktop or Cursor, ChatGPT manages MCP configuration through its Settings UI rather than a local JSON file. The config is synced to your OpenAI account, so the same connectors follow you between machines.
Can ChatGPT use the same MCP servers as Claude Desktop?
Only the ones with hosted HTTPS endpoints. MCP is an open protocol, so any server with a public remote URL (Notion, GitHub, Stripe, Linear, Cloudflare, Asana, Intercom, and many more) works in both. Stdio-only servers — the bulk of community-built MCPs today — work in Claude Desktop but not in ChatGPT until they are deployed to a public HTTPS endpoint.
What is the difference between a ChatGPT App and a custom MCP connector?
Functionally they're the same — both are MCP servers ChatGPT calls over HTTPS. The difference is review and discovery. Apps in chatgpt.com/apps have been submitted by their owner and approved by OpenAI; they install in one click and often render rich UI inside the chat (built with the Apps SDK). Custom connectors are any other remote MCP server you point ChatGPT at via Developer mode — no review, no UI extensions, your responsibility to trust.
