# Connect ChatGPT

> Add the Metal MCP server to ChatGPT as a connector.

Connect ChatGPT to the Metal MCP server so it can search and reason over your firm's Metal data.

## Prerequisites

* An organization admin has enabled MCP (see [overview](/mcp/overview#prerequisites)).
* A ChatGPT plan that supports custom connectors / developer mode. Availability and admin controls vary by plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise).

## Add the connector

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open connector settings">
    In ChatGPT, go to **Settings → Connectors** (under **Apps & Connectors**). If you're adding your own server, enable **Developer mode** under **Advanced**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a custom connector">
    Click **Create** (or **Add custom connector**) and enter:

    * **Name**: Metal
    * **MCP server URL**: `https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp`
    * **Authentication**: OAuth
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect and sign in">
    Create the connector, then **Connect**. ChatGPT opens a browser window to sign in with your Metal account. Approve access, and choose an organization if prompted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in a chat">
    Start a new chat, open the tools menu, and enable the **Metal** connector for the conversation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Verify

Ask ChatGPT something that uses your data, for example:

> Use the Metal connector to find companies in my pipeline tagged as targets and summarize them.

## Troubleshooting

* **Can't add a connector**: custom connectors and developer mode depend on your plan and may be restricted by a workspace admin.
* **Connection or sign-in fails**: confirm an admin enabled MCP under **Settings → Organization → API & MCP Access**, and that the URL is exactly `https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp`.
