ChatGPT setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• API key (sk_live_…)
• Built MCP server (npm run build in social0-mcp/)
• ChatGPT plan with MCP support (availability varies by plan and region)

Availability

MCP support in ChatGPT is rolling out and may not be available in all regions or plans. Claude Desktop and Cursor are the primary recommended hosts for Social0 MCP today.

Check OpenAI's documentation for current MCP connector availability.

Configuration

When MCP connectors are available in your ChatGPT account:

1. Open ChatGPT Settings → Connectors (or equivalent MCP section)
2. Add a custom MCP server with stdio transport
3. Use this configuration:

{
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["/absolute/path/to/social0-mcp/dist/index.js"],
  "env": {
    "SOCIAL0_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here",
    "SOCIAL0_API_URL": "https://api.social0.app/v1"
  }
}

The MCP server must run on your local machine — ChatGPT connects to it via the desktop app or connector bridge.
