MCP support

The project exposes the ChatGPT macOS app through an MCP server. It can be configured as a stdio server in MCP clients.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chatgpt-app": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-chatgpt-app"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commanduvx mcp-server-chatgpt-app

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Prerequisite

Usage

cursor

update .mcp.json to add the following:

{
    "mcpServers": {

}
chatwise

Go to Settings -> Tools -> Add and use the following config:

Type: stdio
ID: ChatGPT
Command: uvx mcp-server-chatgpt-app

Caution

Chatwise did not close mcp server even when itself is closed, which may lead to multiple mcp servers running at the same time. DO remember to clean them all up: pkill -f 'mcp-server-chatgpt-app'

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
