ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports MCP in Developer Mode (beta). Connect Handler to give ChatGPT access to live web data, B2B intelligence, and your connected services.

Beta feature. ChatGPT MCP support is in beta. Some features may not be available, and the setup process may change as OpenAI evolves the integration.

Setup

ChatGPT uses OAuth for MCP connections. No API keys needed — ChatGPT handles the authentication flow for you.

Open ChatGPT Settings

In ChatGPT, go to Settings (or the gear icon in the sidebar).

Add MCP Server

Navigate to the MCP or Integrations section and click Add a new MCP server. Enter the Handler MCP URL:

https://mcp.usehandler.dev/mcp

Authorize via OAuth

ChatGPT will redirect you to Handler's OAuth page. Log in with your Handler account and authorize the connection. Once complete, Handler superpowers appear as available tools in your ChatGPT conversations.

Limitations

Because ChatGPT's MCP support is still in beta, there are a few things to be aware of:

OAuth only. ChatGPT does not support Bearer token authentication for MCP servers. You must use the OAuth flow.
Availability may vary. MCP support may not be available on all ChatGPT plans or in all regions.
Tool discovery. ChatGPT may not automatically suggest Handler tools. You may need to explicitly ask it to use a Handler superpower.
Session persistence. MCP connections may need to be re-established between sessions depending on ChatGPT's session management.

Usage

Once connected, you can use Handler superpowers in any ChatGPT conversation. The same tools and capabilities are available as on any other platform:

// Research
"Use Handler to search for recent AI regulation news in the EU"

// B2B intelligence
"Use Handler to find the founders of Anthropic and their backgrounds"

// Market data
"Use Handler to get the current price and technicals for TSLA"

// Monitoring
"Use Handler to check Reddit for discussions about our product"

// Content generation
"Use Handler to generate a summary of this research"

Tip: When using Handler with ChatGPT, being explicit helps. Say "Use Handler to..." or "Use handler_research to..." so ChatGPT knows to use the MCP tool rather than its built-in capabilities.
