Use ChatGPT with Marrow MCP

This guide shows you how to connect Marrow MCP to ChatGPT as a custom connector, so you can query your Marrow workspace from ChatGPT. ChatGPT connector setup steps

Before you start

  • Use ChatGPT in a web browser, not the desktop or mobile apps.
  • Use a ChatGPT plan that supports Apps and connectors, such as Pro, Plus, Business or Enterprise.
  • Be a workspace admin in ChatGPT to create and publish the app in your workspace.
During setup, ChatGPT redirects you to Marrow so you can sign in and approve access.

Step 1: Copy the MCP server URL

Copy this URL: https://mcp.marrow.com/mcp/v1.

Step 2: Enable ChatGPT Developer mode

  1. Go to chatgpt.com.
  2. Enable Developer mode: SettingsAppsAdvanced settingsDeveloper mode.
  3. Developer mode adds risk to your account. Read the warning before you continue.

Step 3: Create the Marrow app in your ChatGPT workspace

  1. Open Workspace settingsAppsCreate.
  2. Set Name to Marrow.
  3. In MCP Server URL, paste the URL from Step 1.
  4. In Authentication, select OAuth (or Sign in) and complete the Marrow sign-in.
  5. Read the risk warning and approve it if you agree.
  6. Select Create and wait for the app to be created.

Step 4: Publish the app

  1. When your app appears in the list, select Publish.
  2. Read the risk warnings and approve them if you agree.
  3. Select Publish.

Step 5: Test the connection

  1. Go back to chatgpt.com and start a new chat.
  2. Select Thinking mode and add the Marrow app to the chat.
  3. Send a prompt that uses Marrow data, for example:
If ChatGPT returns Marrow data, the connection is working.

Security

  • ChatGPT uses an OAuth-style sign-in and approval flow to access Marrow.
  • Access is scoped to the permissions of the Marrow user who approved the connection.
  • To revoke access, go to Marrow MCP Integrations and remove or unpublish the app in your ChatGPT workspace settings.

Troubleshooting

I cannot find Developer mode or Apps in settings

  • Confirm you are using chatgpt.com in a browser.
  • Confirm you are on a plan that supports Apps and connectors.
  • Confirm you are a ChatGPT workspace admin. Business and Enterprise workspaces can restrict this to admins.

OAuth sign-in fails or keeps redirecting

  • Allow pop-ups and redirects for chatgpt.com and Marrow.
  • Temporarily disable ad or tracking blockers that might interfere with OAuth flows.
  • Try a private browsing window to rule out extension issues.

I created the app but cannot add it to a chat

  • Make sure the app is Published (creation alone is not enough).
  • If you are in a managed workspace, confirm that Apps are allowed for your users.
