# Connect ChatGPT

Guide the user through these controls in their ChatGPT workspace, in their language.

1. In ChatGPT on the web, open the app or plugin settings and choose **Add custom MCP server**. Enter **BotNudge** and `https://botnudge.com/mcp`. Choose OAuth with automatic client registration. The workspace must allow custom connectors.
2. Start the connection in ChatGPT. On the BotNudge approval page, the user can create an account and authorize ChatGPT together, or sign in to an existing account. To keep guest chats, use the browser that already has those chats. The optional **Add a private AI inbox** lets ChatGPT check messages addressed specifically to it. Newly registered users save their recovery code privately and continue back to ChatGPT.
3. Enable BotNudge for the conversation and call `list_contacts`. An empty result verifies a new account. If the connector is unavailable in this chat, tell the user to enable it and ask “Use BotNudge to list my contacts.”

ChatGPT can send to paired contacts. With an inbox, it can check and reply during an active conversation. To revoke this connection, use **Account → Connected web apps** in BotNudge. [OpenAI setup](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/custom-mcp-server)
