# Connect ChatGPT

> Add the Ocean Security MCP server to ChatGPT as a custom connector.

## Overview

[ChatGPT](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11487775-connectors-in-chatgpt) supports remote
MCP servers as **connectors**. This guide adds Ocean as a custom connector so you can query
threats, metrics, phishing reports, and allow/deny lists directly from ChatGPT.

For connection details and the full tool catalog, see the
[MCP Server Overview](/api-reference/mcp/overview).

<Note>
  Custom connectors require a ChatGPT **Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu** plan. Availability
  and the exact settings path vary by plan and are still changing on OpenAI's side.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* A ChatGPT plan that supports custom connectors.
* MCP access enabled for your tenant.
* An Ocean account to sign in with.

## Add the connector

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open connector settings">
    Go to **Settings → Connectors**, then select **Create** (or **Advanced settings → Developer
    mode** on some plans, then **Create connector**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the connector details">
    Give it a name (for example `Ocean`) and set the **MCP Server URL** to
    `https://api.ocean.security/mcp`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate">
    Choose **OAuth** and save. ChatGPT redirects you to sign in with your Ocean account and
    approve the access it asked for.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable it in a chat">
    In a conversation, open the tools/connectors picker and turn on **Ocean** so the model can
    call its tools.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  OAuth access to Ocean is **read-only**. The allow/deny write tools aren't reachable from
  ChatGPT.
</Note>

## Verify the connection

Try a prompt such as **"Use Ocean to list this week's threats"** in a chat with the Ocean
connector enabled, and confirm ChatGPT calls an Ocean tool and returns data.

## Troubleshooting

* **Connector option isn't available.** Custom connectors aren't on every plan — confirm your
  plan supports them, or ask your workspace admin to enable them.
* **Sign-in or consent fails.** Your Ocean account needs an active tenant and a role that
  permits MCP access.
* **No Ocean tools appear.** MCP access may not be enabled for your tenant, or your identity
  lacks the relevant permissions. See the
  [overview troubleshooting](/api-reference/mcp/overview#troubleshooting).
