# Connect to ChatGPT

> Add Aeris as a custom app in ChatGPT, then ask about ad performance in your existing chats. Takes about two minutes.

Connect Aeris to ChatGPT as a custom app, then ask about ad performance in your existing chats. Takes about two minutes.

<Note>
  **You'll need a ChatGPT plan that supports apps and connectors** (Plus, Pro, or Business) with **Developer mode** enabled. Free ChatGPT doesn't include custom connectors.
</Note>

## Your connector URL

You'll need this when adding Aeris to ChatGPT.

```

## Add Aeris as an app

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable Developer mode">
    Open ChatGPT → **Settings** → **Apps** → **Advanced settings**. Toggle **Developer mode** on.

    Developer mode unlocks the custom-app creation flow. Without it, ChatGPT only shows the built-in connector list.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new app">
    Back on the Apps page, click **Create app** at the top.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the details">
    * **Name** — enter `Aeris`
    * **MCP server URL** — enter `https://mcp.tryaeris.ai/mcp` (choose the **Server URL** option, not Tunnel).
    * **Authentication** — select **OAuth**.
    * Confirm the consent checkbox ("I understand and want to continue").
    * Click **Create**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in with Aeris">
    ChatGPT opens the Aeris authorization page. If you're already signed in on tryaeris.ai, you'll land on the consent screen; otherwise you'll sign in first.

    Review the scopes (**Read** and **Draft** by default; **Apply** is per-action) and click **Allow ChatGPT to connect**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    A green **Aeris is installed** notification confirms the connection. The app lists every tool ChatGPT can call.

## Try it

Start a **new chat** in ChatGPT and ask for what you want:

<Tip>
  What are my top 5 campaigns by spend this month, and which of them are profitable?
</Tip>

ChatGPT uses Aeris tools to pull the numbers and answer in-chat.

<Warning>
  Always start a **new chat** after connecting or reconnecting. Existing chats won't pick up the connection.
</Warning>

## What ChatGPT can do

Same tool surface as Claude — reporting, AEO, campaign drafting. Anything that would spend money or change a live campaign stays behind Aeris's per-action approval; ChatGPT drafts, you approve inside Aeris.

You can revoke the app anytime from your Aeris account.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="&#x22;Custom app didn’t respond&#x22;">
    The most common cause is a network hiccup during OAuth. Remove the app, restart ChatGPT, and add it again. If the auth popup blocks, allow popups for `chatgpt.com`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Charts show a code block instead of the image">
    You're on an older ChatGPT client. Update the app; the 2025-06-18 protocol version is required for inline images.
