Connecting ChatGPT
Status: ✅ Current · Last reviewed: 2026-06-18
The modern way to connect ChatGPT is the native MCP connector built into the ChatGPT app (iOS / Android / desktop). No Custom GPT, no OpenAPI schema — you point ChatGPT straight at your Memeri gateway. Every Memeri tool call shows up on your Project timeline.
ChatGPT gets MCP tools only — read/write your Memeri data (jobs, updates, decisions, intelligence, docs). It does not get local file editing or terminal access (those are Claude Code / Tunnel features), and the auto-grounding hooks are Claude Code-only — so with ChatGPT you ask it to "load my Memeri context" rather than it happening automatically.
What you'll need
- The ChatGPT app with MCP / Connectors support
- Your Memeri token (from the Connect page → click the token to copy)
- ~2 minutes
Step 1 — Open Connectors
In the ChatGPT app: Settings → Connectors → Add MCP server. (Exact wording shifts between OpenAI releases — look for "MCP" or "Connectors".)
Step 2 — Add the Memeri connector
- Name:
Memeri - Server URL:
{{GATEWAY_URL}}/mcp
- Auth: Bearer token → paste your Memeri token
Step 3 — Save and verify
Start a new chat and ask:
"What's my current focus?"
It should call get_focus. On the Connect page, the Telemetry Health panel should flip MCP → Live, and your ChatGPT activity will appear on the Project timeline.
No native MCP yet? The Custom GPT path (older)
If your ChatGPT plan doesn't have the MCP connector, you can still connect via a Custom GPT with Actions — this is the older path and is being phased out, so use the connector above if it's available to you.
- Explore GPTs → Create, name it
Memeri, add an Action. - Authentication: API Key → Bearer → paste your token.
- Schema: import from URL:
{{GATEWAY_URL}}/openapi.json
- Save, open a chat with the GPT, and ask "What's my current focus?".
Heads-up: the Custom GPT's OpenAPI surface is due for a refresh — the underlying API has moved on since it was authored. Prefer the native connector.
Other clients
- Claude Code / Claude Web / Claude Desktop / Codex — see their own pages in this group.
- Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client — use the same server URL (
{{GATEWAY_URL}}/mcp) + Bearer token in that client's MCP config. The Connect page has a generic "Other MCP clients" card with the raw values.
