Connect DataDoe MCP to ChatGPT

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

Before you start

• You must use ChatGPT in a web browser (not the desktop/mobile apps).
• Your ChatGPT account must be on a plan that supports Apps/connectors (typically Pro/Plus/Business/Enterprise).
• You must be a workspace admin in ChatGPT to create/publish the app in your workspace.

Note: During setup you will be redirected to DataDoe to sign in and approve access.

Step 1: Copy the MCP Server URL

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

Step 2: Enable ChatGPT Developer mode

1. Go to chatgpt.com.
2. Enable Developer mode:
   • Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode
3. Developer mode adds elevated risk to your account. Read and understand the warning before proceeding.

Step 3: Create the DataDoe app in your ChatGPT workspace

1. Open Workspace settings → Apps → Create.
2. Set Name to DataDoe.
3. In MCP Server URL, paste the MCP Server URL.
4. In Authentication, select OAuth (or Sign in) and complete the DataDoe sign-in.
5. Read the risk warning and approve it if you agree.
6. Click Create and wait until creation is completed.

Step 4: Publish the app

1. When you see your app in the list, click Publish.
2. Read the risk warnings and approve them if you agree.
3. Click Publish.

Step 5: Test the connection

1. Go back to chatgpt.com and start a new chat.
2. Select Thinking mode and add the DataDoe app to the chat.
3. Send your first message, for example: Show me all sellers and vendors.

If everything is connected properly, ChatGPT should be able to retrieve results from your DataDoe organization.

Troubleshooting

I can't 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/connectors.
• Confirm you are a ChatGPT workspace admin (Business/Enterprise workspaces can restrict this to admins).

OAuth sign-in fails or keeps redirecting

• Allow popups and redirects for chatgpt.com and DataDoe.
• Temporarily disable ad/tracking blockers that might interfere with OAuth flows.
• Try a clean/incognito window to rule out extension issues.

I created the app but can't add it to a chat

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

Security notes

• ChatGPT uses an OAuth-style sign-in and approval flow to access DataDoe.
• Access is scoped to the permissions of the DataDoe user who approved the connection.
• If you need to revoke access, do it from DataDoe → Integrations → MCP (/integrations/mcp) and/or remove/unpublish the app in ChatGPT workspace settings.
