How to Connect ChatGPT to Chatfuel

Chatfuel is an official ChatGPT partner, and the Chatfuel plugin is listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory, so you install it from ChatGPT itself, without copying a server link. You install the Chatfuel plugin once, sign in with your Chatfuel account, and then ChatGPT can work with your bots, Automations and Knowledge Base on chatgpt.com, in the ChatGPT desktop app and in the ChatGPT mobile apps.

How to add Chatfuel from ChatGPT Plugins

1. In ChatGPT, open Plugins in the sidebar.
2. Search for Chatfuel and open the Chatfuel plugin. The plugin page also opens directly at https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6aded04dc5448191963c49884cd79d2b.
3. Click + or Install plugin to install it.
4. Click Connect, sign in to Chatfuel and approve access on the consent screen. Leave Read-only off if ChatGPT should be able to make changes.
5. Start a new chat.

Chatfuel builds and runs the plugin as an official ChatGPT partner. The plugin works through the Chatfuel MCP server at https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panel, the same server other assistants connect to, with your own Chatfuel permissions.

How to use Chatfuel in a ChatGPT chat

In a chat, type @ and pick Chatfuel, then write your request, for example "@Chatfuel show me my bots and which ones have AI turned on." ChatGPT can also pick the installed Chatfuel plugin by itself when a request is about your bots, but typing @ makes sure ChatGPT uses Chatfuel.

How to use the plugin in a ChatGPT workspace

Plugin access depends on your ChatGPT plan, workspace and region. On ChatGPT Business, plugins are on by default. On ChatGPT Enterprise, plugins are off by default, and a workspace admin turns them on in Workspace settings → Plugins. Each member then connects the plugin and signs in with their own Chatfuel account, so each person works with their own Chatfuel permissions.

Does the plugin work in the ChatGPT desktop and mobile apps?

Yes. The Chatfuel plugin works on chatgpt.com, in the ChatGPT desktop app and in the ChatGPT mobile apps on the same ChatGPT account. In the desktop and mobile apps, Plugins is in the sidebar too, so you can also install the plugin there.

Can I add Chatfuel as a custom MCP server instead?

Yes. A custom MCP server uses the same Chatfuel server. On chatgpt.com, custom MCP servers are available on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu plans:

1. Open chatgpt.com/plugins and click + → Add custom MCP server.
2. Enter the name Chatfuel and the link https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panel, and choose OAuth.
3. Confirm the warning, click Create as a plugin and sign in to Chatfuel.

The ChatGPT desktop app also keeps MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml, which it shares with Codex CLI. To add the server there, open Settings → MCP servers → Add server, choose Streamable HTTP, paste the link, click Restart, then Authenticate. A server added in Codex appears in the desktop app too.

What can I ask ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can turn on Fuely AI, add FAQ entries, set up comment replies, add bookable services and review your chats. Examples:

• "Set up an AI assistant for my bot that answers my customers' questions."
• "Make the AI reply to comments on my latest Instagram post."
• "Daily check: summarize yesterday's chats of my bot and list suggested fixes. Don't change anything."

More requests are in Chatfuel MCP example prompts. An overview of ChatGPT with Chatfuel is on chatfuel.com/mcp/chatgpt.

Will ChatGPT change things without asking?

The Chatfuel MCP server instructs ChatGPT to ask one yes/no question before a change that rewrites, removes or turns something off, and to get a yes to the exact text of every message it sends to a customer. To let ChatGPT only look at your account, turn on Read-only on the Chatfuel consent screen, as described in Chatfuel MCP sign-in, read-only access and CLI token.

Common issues

I don't see Chatfuel in ChatGPT Plugins

Plugin access depends on your ChatGPT plan, workspace and region. Open the Chatfuel plugin page directly at https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6aded04dc5448191963c49884cd79d2b. On ChatGPT Enterprise, ask a workspace admin to turn on plugins in Workspace settings → Plugins.

ChatGPT doesn't use Chatfuel in my chat

Type @ in the message box and pick Chatfuel before your request. If Chatfuel isn't in the list, install the plugin and click Connect first, then start a new chat.

ChatGPT asks me to sign in again

The Chatfuel sign-in has expired or was revoked in Connected apps in the Chatfuel dashboard. Click Connect on the Chatfuel plugin and sign in to Chatfuel again.

ChatGPT can read my bots but can't change them

The plugin was connected with Read-only on. Revoke ChatGPT in Connected apps in the Chatfuel dashboard, then connect Chatfuel in ChatGPT again and leave Read-only off.

I see two Chatfuel plugins

Chatfuel was added as a custom MCP server before and then installed from the directory. Both connections work. To keep only the directory plugin, open the custom Chatfuel plugin in Plugins and click Uninstall plugin.
