# Connect to ChatGPT

> Add GetQR to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server.

Add GetQR to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server so you can manage QR codes and check scans from a ChatGPT chat. You set it up once on chatgpt.com on a computer.

## Before you start

* A GetQR account with the Admin or Editor role, and an active subscription. See [AI connectors overview](/ai-connectors/overview).
* A ChatGPT account.
* A computer. ChatGPT doesn't support adding connectors from the mobile app.

## Connect from GetQR

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open My Account">
    In GetQR on your computer, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then click **My Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the AI connectors tab">
    Click **AI connectors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the connection">
    Click **Connect an assistant**. If you already have a connection, click **Connect** instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose ChatGPT">
    Select **ChatGPT** in the dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the server URL">
    Click **Copy** next to `https://getqr.com/api/mcp`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open ChatGPT">
    Click **Open ChatGPT**. ChatGPT opens on chatgpt.com, on the form for a new custom MCP server.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the app">
    If the form isn't open, go to **Plugins** → **Create Custom MCP Server** → **Create App**. Paste the server URL and create the app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect">
    In ChatGPT, click **Connect** for GetQR.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    Sign in to GetQR if asked. Review the permissions and click **Allow**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the connection">
    Back in GetQR, the dialog updates automatically and shows "ChatGPT connected". ChatGPT now appears under **Connected clients**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Try it

Start a new chat in ChatGPT and ask:

```text theme={null}
How many scans did my QR codes get in the last 30 days? Show the top 5 countries.
```

See [Example prompts](/ai-connectors/example-prompts) for more ideas.

## Common issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="GetQR shows “Set up ChatGPT on desktop”">
    You opened the dialog on a phone. ChatGPT doesn't support adding connectors from the mobile app. Open chatgpt.com on your computer and follow the steps above.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The GetQR page says “AI connectors aren't available”">
    Viewers can't connect AI assistants. Ask the workspace Admin to make you an Editor.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The GetQR page says “An active subscription is required”">
    AI assistants can connect only to accounts with an active subscription. If you're an Editor, the workspace Admin's subscription must be active. See the [Help Center](https://getqr.com/help) for plan questions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The GetQR dialog keeps saying “Waiting for ChatGPT”">
    The dialog waits until you click **Allow** on the GetQR page. Finish the sign-in in ChatGPT, then come back. If you closed the ChatGPT tab, click **Cancel** and start again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="ChatGPT doesn't use GetQR in a chat">
    Mention GetQR in your prompt, for example "Using GetQR, list my QR codes". If ChatGPT lets you pick which apps a chat can use, check that GetQR is selected.
  </Accordion>
