ChatGPT has introduced custom MCP connectors, allowing users to integrate external tools, including web scraping and form creation, into conversations. These connectors, now referred to as 'apps,' require a remote MCP server accessible via HTTPS, meaning local tools need a wrapper or tunneling service. Plans like Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu support these connectors, with full write-action capabilities rolling out broadly. Users must configure these apps through ChatGPT's settings, often involving an OAuth flow for authentication, and can then prompt ChatGPT to utilize the connected tools for tasks like web scraping or drafting forms.
