Connect Coworker to ChatGPT

Add Coworker to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server from Plugins.

Who it's for: ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu users. On Pro, Coworker connects with read and fetch only.

Quickest way: open the Coworker MCP page for ChatGPT in Coworker and follow the steps there. That page always has the latest steps, which can change when ChatGPT updates its app. The steps below are a backup.

  1. In ChatGPT go to Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server. Name it coworker and use the MCP server URL https://odin.coworker.ai/mcp. You don't need to turn on Developer mode. (Older layout: Settings → Apps → Create.)

  2. Sign in to Coworker when prompted. To use it in a chat, type @ in the message box and pick coworker.

  3. Paste the instruction text from the Coworker MCP page (Connect yourself → ChatGPT) into Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions. ChatGPT rarely uses a connector unprompted.

Common problems

  • No option to add a custom MCP server. On Business, only admins and owners can create one, so ask yours. Full support needs Business, Enterprise or Edu; Pro gets read and fetch only.

  • ChatGPT asks before every call. Go to Settings → Plugins → coworker → Permissions and pick Allow read actions, Allow low-risk actions or Allow all actions instead of Always ask.
