# Connect ChatGPT
> Add the PRINTOOLS MCP connection to ChatGPT and confirm your organization.
Connect ChatGPT to your PRINTOOLS shop with this public MCP URL:
```text theme={"dark"}
https://mcp.printools.io/mcp
```
## 1. Enable developer mode
Open **Settings → Security and login**, then enable **Developer mode**. Availability depends on your account and workspace policy.
## 2. Add PRINTOOLS
Open **Plugins** and select the **+** button at the top right. Enter:
| Field | Value |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Name | PRINTOOLS |
| Description | Work with print-shop customers, quotes, jobs, and production |
| Connection | Public MCP endpoint |
| Server URL | `https://mcp.printools.io/mcp` |
| Authentication | OAuth |
Create the connection. PRINTOOLS publishes OAuth discovery and registration metadata; use the client's discovered settings instead of inventing a client ID or secret.
## 3. Authorize your shop
Complete the PRINTOOLS sign-in and consent flow. Review the selected organization and requested access. Approve only the permissions you intend to use.
## 4. Confirm the connection
Start a new conversation and enable PRINTOOLS from the tools menu. Ask:
> Show the current PRINTOOLS organization using an available settings read action. Then list the read capabilities available to this connection.
Check that the organization matches the shop you intended. Then try a small request:
> Find the jobs due this week and show their current status. Do not change anything.
## Refresh or remove
After tool metadata changes, open the connection in Plugins, select **Refresh**, and start a new conversation. Manage or remove the connection from ChatGPT when you no longer need it.
For authentication errors or missing actions, see [Troubleshooting](/mcp/troubleshooting). For writes, see [Approvals](/mcp/approvals).
These steps follow [OpenAI's connection guide](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/deploy/connect-chatgpt). Exact controls can vary with account and workspace policy.
