# Connect Connie to ChatGPT

> Add Connie to ChatGPT as a custom app, for personal Plus and Pro accounts and for Business and Enterprise workspaces.

You can add Connie to ChatGPT as a custom app (ChatGPT also calls these plugins or MCP apps). Then ChatGPT can search, update and build in your Connie workspace when you ask it to.

Connie isn't listed in ChatGPT's app directory yet, so you add it yourself with Connie's server address, `https://mcp.connie.ai`. It takes a few minutes.

**Where in Connie:** click your name at the bottom of the left sidebar → **Connect my agent** → **ChatGPT (Plus and Pro)** or **ChatGPT (Business and Enterprise)** · `https://connie.ai/<workspace-id>/connect-agent/chatgpt`

<Note>
  **Which ChatGPT plans work?** Custom apps are available on ChatGPT plans that support developer mode and custom apps. They don't work on a free ChatGPT account. The steps below cover personal **Plus** and **Pro** accounts and **Business** and **Enterprise** workspaces. OpenAI changes which plans get custom apps, and on some plans custom apps can only read, not save or change anything. Check your ChatGPT plan in OpenAI's help center if the options below don't appear. Set Connie up in ChatGPT **on the web** (chatgpt.com).
</Note>

## Personal account (Plus and Pro)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Turn on developer mode">
    In ChatGPT, open **Settings** → **Security and login** and switch on **Developer mode**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a custom MCP server">
    Go to [chatgpt.com/plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins), click **+** and choose **Create custom MCP server**. In the **New Plugin** box, click **Create MCP App**. (OpenAI's own help may call these **Add custom MCP server** and **Create as a plugin**.)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Connie's server">
    Enter `Connie` as the name and `https://mcp.connie.ai` as the MCP server URL. Choose **OAuth** for authentication. Leave any client ID and secret fields empty. Tick **I understand and want to continue**, then click **Create**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your Connie account">
    Click **Sign in with Connie**. If that box doesn't open by itself, click **Connect** on Connie's page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Allow access in Connie">
    Sign in to Connie if you're asked. Choose your **Default workspace** and click **Allow access**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Connie's permissions">
    Back in ChatGPT, open **Settings** → **Plugins** → **Connie**. Under **Permissions**, click **Allow low-risk tools**, then choose **Allow all tools** so ChatGPT doesn't ask before every Connie action. Close Settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use Connie in a chat">
    Start a new chat, click **+** and choose **Connie** (or type `@` and pick it). Then ask something like: "Find 10 VPs or Heads of Sales at US B2B SaaS companies with 50–500 employees, and go ahead and save them to a new list in Connie."
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Business and Enterprise workspace

A ChatGPT workspace admin or owner adds and publishes Connie once (steps 1–3). Then everyone in the ChatGPT workspace connects their own Connie account (steps 4–6).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Admin: open Apps in workspace settings">
    Go to [chatgpt.com/admin/apps](https://chatgpt.com/admin/apps), or open **Workspace settings** from your profile menu and choose **Apps**. Click **Create**. You need to be a ChatGPT workspace admin or owner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Admin: add Connie's server">
    Enter `Connie` as the name and `https://mcp.connie.ai` as the server URL. Choose **OAuth**, tick **I understand and want to continue** and click **Create**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Admin: publish to your workspace">
    Open the **Drafts** tab and click **Publish** next to Connie. Review the risk notes, tick **I trust this app** and the review checkbox, then click **Publish**. Connie moves to **Enabled**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Everyone: connect your Connie account">
    In a new chat, click **+** and choose **Connie**, then click **Connect** on Connie's page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Everyone: allow access in Connie">
    Sign in to Connie if you're asked. Choose your **Default workspace** and click **Allow access**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Everyone: use Connie">
    Click **Try in chat**, or choose Connie from **+** in a new chat, and ask away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Good to know

* **No API key needed.** You sign in with your Connie account through OAuth.
* **ChatGPT may ask before write actions.** For actions that change data, such as saving to a list or sending an email, ChatGPT can ask you to confirm. You control this in Connie's **Permissions** in ChatGPT settings.
* **Business workspaces:** after an app is published, admins can't edit its tools. To pick up changes, an admin recreates and republishes the app.
* **Which workspace ChatGPT uses:** the **Default workspace** you chose, unless you name another one in your request. See [Manage access](/mcp/manage-access).
* **Credits:** actions use your Connie workspace's credits. If you run out, ChatGPT points you to [connie.ai/pricing](https://connie.ai/pricing) instead of a checkout link. To add credits, open Connie. See [Top-ups](/billing/top-ups).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I can't find Create custom MCP server or Developer mode">
    **Why:** developer mode isn't on, your ChatGPT plan doesn't include custom apps, or you're on the mobile app. On Business, only admins can use developer mode. **Fix:** use chatgpt.com in a browser, switch on **Developer mode** in **Settings** → **Security and login**, and check your plan. On Business or Enterprise, ask your ChatGPT admin to follow the workspace steps.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="ChatGPT won't accept the server URL">
    **Fix:** paste exactly `https://mcp.connie.ai`, with `https://` and nothing after it, and choose **OAuth**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Connie is added but ChatGPT doesn't use it">
    **Fix:** in a new chat, click **+** and choose **Connie**, or type `@` and pick it. Check that Connie's **Permissions** in ChatGPT settings allow its tools.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="ChatGPT can read from Connie but can't save or change anything">
    **Why:** your ChatGPT plan may allow only read actions in custom apps, or the tools aren't allowed in Connie's permissions in ChatGPT. It can also be your Connie role: guests can only read. **Fix:** set **Allow all tools** for Connie in ChatGPT settings, check your ChatGPT plan, and ask a Connie workspace admin for member access if you're a guest.
  </Accordion>
