# ChatGPT

> Connect TryPost to ChatGPT for AI-powered social media management

[ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com) can connect to TryPost's MCP server as a developer-mode app, so you can manage social media scheduling with natural language in chat.

## Prerequisites

* A ChatGPT **Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise, or Education** account on the **web** ([Developer mode](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/developer-mode) — not available on Free; not guaranteed on mobile)
* A TryPost Cloud account with an active trial or subscription ([start a 7-day free trial](/knowledge-base/plans-and-billing))

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable Developer mode">
    In ChatGPT on the web, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

    If that toggle is missing, try **Settings → Apps → Advanced settings**. On Business / Enterprise / Education workspaces, an admin may need to allow Developer mode first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a developer-mode app">
    With Developer mode on, open **Settings → Plugins** or **Settings → Apps** (OpenAI has been renaming this surface; [chatgpt.com/plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins) also works) and click **+** to create a developer-mode app.

    Fill in:

    | Field              | Value                                            |
    | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
    | **Name**           | `TryPost`                                        |
    | **Description**    | `Schedule and publish social posts with TryPost` |
    | **MCP server URL** | `https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost`             |

    For authentication, use **OAuth**. Leave Client ID / Secret blank if shown — TryPost supports Dynamic Client Registration and discovers OAuth from the URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize and review tools">
    Create the connection. Complete the TryPost OAuth sign-in if prompted (**Allow**). Open the app details page to review discovered tools; you can toggle tools on or off and **Refresh** later when the MCP server changes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use TryPost in a conversation">
    Start a new chat. From the composer **+** / Plus menu, choose **Developer mode**, enable the **TryPost** app for that conversation, and ask:

    ```
    List all my scheduled posts
    ```

    ChatGPT will call the TryPost tools to fetch your posts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  ChatGPT only connects to remote HTTPS MCP servers (from OpenAI's infrastructure). The hosted endpoint `https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost` works out of the box. Self-hosted instances must be publicly reachable over HTTPS — local `stdio` MCP servers are not supported.
</Note>

<Note>
  Write actions (create, update, publish, delete) require confirmation by default in Developer mode. Review each tool payload before approving. Tools annotated as read-only skip that confirmation.
</Note>

<Tip>
  After MCP server changes, open the app under **Settings → Plugins** (or **Apps**), click **Refresh**, and start a new conversation so ChatGPT picks up updated tools and descriptions.
</Tip>
