# Connect ChatGPT

Configure ChatGPT to use MARqentic’s remote marketing research tools.

## Set up the connection

Use this deployment’s remote MCP endpoint. Cloud-hosted clients need a publicly reachable HTTPS address; a localhost preview is only reachable by clients running on your machine.

1. Open the Apps or plugins settings available in your ChatGPT account. Your workspace administrator may control custom-server access.
2. Choose the option to create a custom MCP server, enter MARqentic and paste the remote URL. Select OAuth authentication.
3. Create the connection and finish the MARqentic browser authorization.
4. Select the connected app in a conversation and request a dry-run estimate. If the creation option is unavailable, check your account and workspace permissions.

## Check the connection

Ask the assistant to list its MARqentic tools, then estimate a small research request with dry_run: true where supported. The result should include cost metadata. Paid execution needs sufficient credits in the approved workspace.

Missing tools may mean a category is disabled or the client has an older cached tool list. Refresh discovery before reconnecting.
