Prerequisites
- A SocialAPI account with at least one connected account.
- A ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Education plan. Developer mode is not available on the Free plan.
- A desktop browser at chatgpt.com. You can create a connector only on the web. The desktop and mobile apps use a connector you created there.
Set up on web
1
Turn on Developer mode
Go to Settings → Security and login and switch Developer mode on. The toggle is not under Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings.
2
Create the connector
Go to Settings → Connectors and click Create. The Create button appears only while Developer mode is on. Fill in:
- Name:
SocialAPI - Description:

https://api.social-api.ai/mcp
3
Authorize with your SocialAPI account
The first time you use a SocialAPI tool, a browser window opens on the SocialAPI authorization page. Log in and click Authorize. ChatGPT finds the authorization server on its own, so you enter no authentication settings.
4
Turn the connector on in a conversation
Open a new conversation, click + near the message box, select More, and switch the SocialAPI connector on. ChatGPT shows connectors as apps in parts of its interface: they are the same thing.
Use it on desktop and mobile
