# How to connect ChatGPT to DunSocial over MCP

> Add a custom connector or MCP server in ChatGPT, paste the DunSocial MCP URL & nothing else, then approve a workspace in the browser. Labels in ChatGPT change over time, so look for custom connector or MCP server settings rather than a fixed menu path.

Updated: 2026-10-05.

## The short version

In ChatGPT, add a custom connector or MCP server & paste this URL, with no headers or tokens:

```
https://api.dunsocial.com/api/mcp
```

ChatGPT then sends you to DunSocial to sign in, pick a workspace & approve access.

## Why the menu path isn't spelled out

ChatGPT's connector screens have moved & been renamed more than once, & they can differ by plan & by workspace settings. A fixed click path would go stale quickly.

Look for the place where you add a custom connector or an MCP server, & paste the URL. The DunSocial side of the flow doesn't change.

## What happens after you paste the URL

ChatGPT discovers DunSocial's OAuth details from the MCP endpoint & registers itself automatically, so there's no client ID or secret to enter. You then see DunSocial's approval page.

On that page you choose the workspace & approve the scopes. After you approve, ChatGPT can call the workspace tools.

## What to ask first

Begin with a request that only reads data:

> List my connected social accounts.

Then try a dry run:

> Validate a LinkedIn post that says "Hello" for that account, but don't publish it.

That uses the `validate_post` tool, which checks the post without writing anything.

DunSocial answers with real account names & ids, which is how you know the workspace is connected.

## Common snags with remote hosts

Remote chat hosts exchange tokens across origins, & DunSocial's web app is configured to allow that for the OAuth token, revoke & introspect endpoints only. If a connection fails right after you approve in the browser, it's worth reporting, because it points to a server-side problem rather than something you did wrong.

If the consent screen only ever shows "view workspace content," disconnect & reconnect so the full set of scopes is requested. Publishing needs more than read access.

## Keep expectations realistic

ChatGPT can only do what the approved scopes allow, & only in the workspace you picked. DunSocial's own rules still apply on top: platform character limits, required metadata & the plan limits of the workspace.

The assistant drafts & schedules; you still decide what goes live. A draft isn't a publish, so say "schedule" or "publish" when you mean it.
