## Steps

1. In ChatGPT, open the settings for connectors or apps and add a custom MCP connector.
2. Enter the address `https://api.smartchat.marketing/mcp`.
3. Choose OAuth as the sign-in. ChatGPT opens the SmartChat consent page. Check the permissions, start with **Read**, and agree.
4. Enable the connector in a chat.

## Test it

Ask: "Use SmartChat to show my account name." ChatGPT should call a read tool.

## If it does not work

| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The connector cannot be added | Your ChatGPT plan or workspace may not allow custom connectors. Check the settings of your workspace. |
| A tool is missing | The connection lacks a permission. Connect again with more permissions. |
| Sign-in fails | Disconnect and connect again. |

The menus and steps in ChatGPT can change at any time, independent of SmartChat. The steps above may not match your screen exactly. Look for "connectors", "apps" or "MCP" in its settings. If you ask [support](https://docs.smartchat.marketing/en/support/) for help, include the `request_id` from the error.
