Adding a custom MCP connector requires Developer Mode, available on paid plans (Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, Edu) and currently in beta. On Team/Enterprise/Edu, an admin may need to enable connectors for the workspace first.
Connect
Enable Developer Mode
In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer Mode. This unlocks adding custom MCP servers with full tool access.
Add a custom connector
Back in Settings → Apps & Connectors, choose Create / Add custom connector and enter:
- Name:
OnePerfectSlice - MCP server URL:
https://mcp.oneperfectslice.ai/mcp
Authenticate
When prompted, sign in to OnePerfectSlice and select the team whose data this connection should access. ChatGPT completes the OAuth flow and connects.
Test it
In a chat with the connector enabled, try:Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No “custom connector” option | Turn on Developer Mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings (Team/Enterprise/Edu may need an admin to enable connectors) |
| Connector won’t authorize | Re-run the sign-in and complete both login and team selection |
| Wrong team’s data | Remove the connector, re-add it, and select a different team |
| Tools not available in chat | Enable the connector from the chat’s tools/connectors menu |
