The ChatGPT MCP shortlist
MCP isn’t a Claude-only club anymore. ChatGPT can connect to MCP servers too, and it changes what the chat box can do: from answering questions about the web to actually reading a page, checking a repo or pulling your data.
There’s one important difference from Claude’s desktop and Claude Code setups. ChatGPT connects to remote servers, meaning a URL, not a program running on your laptop. That rules out some popular local-only servers and makes hosted ones the sweet spot. Availability and setup steps depend on your plan and OpenAI’s current settings, so check their docs for the exact toggle before you start.
Here’s what we’d connect first, favouring servers you can reach over a URL.
Disclosure, up front: we build Enrichr, so it appears on this list. We’ve tried to say exactly why, and to be straight about where the others are the better tool.
01 Enrichr for ChatGPTour pick
We run a dedicated ChatGPT endpoint at chatgpt.enrichr.dev. It renders pages in a real browser and returns the DOM, computed CSS, animations and WebGL, the things ChatGPT’s built-in browsing can’t see because they only exist after JavaScript runs. Ask it to pull a design system, rebuild a hero or explain how a page is built.
02 GitHub
Read repos, issues and pull requests from the chat. Great for “summarize what changed in this PR” or “where is this function used” without leaving the conversation.
03 Notion
Search and read your workspace so answers come from your own notes and specs, not from the model’s memory of the internet.
04 Linear
Turn a chat into tickets, or ask what’s blocked this sprint. Project tools are one of the best-fitting categories for a conversational interface.
05 Stripe
Look up customers, payments and subscriptions in plain language. It’s a fast way to answer “did this customer get charged?” without opening the dashboard. Use restricted keys and read-only access until you trust your setup.
06 Cloudflare
Manage and inspect Workers, DNS and storage by asking. Handy for developers who live in the terminal and want a second pair of eyes on their config.
07 Zapier
The wide-net connector: one server that reaches thousands of apps. It’s the quickest way to try “when this happens, do that” from a chat, though the breadth means you should review what you’re authorizing.
08 Hugging Face
Search models, datasets and Spaces from the conversation. If you work with ML, it beats tabbing to the Hub every time you need a model name.
