Connect ChatGPT

What you'll need

• A ChatGPT plan that supports custom MCP connectors (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu).
• A SyncRange team with at least one data source already connected, and team admin access to approve the OAuth consent screen.
• For individual (Plus / Pro) accounts: Developer Mode enabled in ChatGPT (required before custom connectors appear).

OpenAI’s UI labels move occasionally — you may see Connectors, Apps, or Apps & Connectors. The steps below use the common current paths.

MCP server URL

https://mcp.syncrange.com/mcp

Choose OAuth if ChatGPT asks for an authentication method. You do not need a manual SyncRange token for this flow.

Individual accounts (Plus / Pro)

1. Enable Developer Mode

   In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings (wording may vary) and turn on Developer Mode. Without this, the option to add a custom MCP connector is usually hidden.

2. Add a custom connector

   Go back to Settings → Apps & Connectors and choose Create / Add custom connector.

3. Enter SyncRange details
   • Name — e.g. SyncRange
   • MCP server URL — https://mcp.syncrange.com/mcp
   • Authentication — OAuth (if prompted)
4. Acknowledge the risk notice

   ChatGPT will warn that custom MCP servers are not verified by OpenAI. Confirm only if you trust SyncRange as the operator of this endpoint.

5. Sign in and authorize

   Your browser opens SyncRange. Log in if needed, choose which team to connect, review the data sources (scopes), and click Authorize. ChatGPT receives an access token automatically — you never copy a secret.

6. Use SyncRange in a chat

   Start a new conversation. Open the tools / apps control for that chat and enable the SyncRange connector. Then ask something like: "What were my Shopify sales last month?"

Business, Enterprise, and Edu

1. Admin enables custom connectors (if required)

   A workspace admin may need to allow Developer Mode / custom MCP connectors under workspace permissions (labels vary by plan).

2. Admin adds or publishes the connector

   In workspace connector settings, create a connector named SyncRange with URL https://mcp.syncrange.com/mcp, then publish or share it with members as your org policy requires.

3. Each member connects

   Members open Settings → Apps & Connectors, find SyncRange, click Connect, and complete the SyncRange OAuth consent for their team.

4. Enable per conversation

   In each chat, turn the SyncRange app/connector on before asking data questions.

After you connect

• The connection appears on SyncRange under Connections → AI Assistants as an OAuth token. You can revoke it there at any time.
• Revoking in SyncRange immediately disables access; you can also remove the connector in ChatGPT for tidiness.
• OAuth access tokens refresh automatically — you should not need to re-paste credentials.
