Popular ChatGPT integrations

What if ChatGPT and OpenAI solutions could intelligently access your business context in minutes?

ChatGPT Chat

Query your live systems (CRM, ERP, data warehouses, analytics platforms) in real time. Instead of generic answers, ChatGPT can reason over your data—whether that's up-to-this-minute sales, user behavior, inventory status, or support logs—and provide contextually accurate, actionable responses.

Agent Builder

Plug Agent Builder into MCP via Connect AI so agents can act on your real data systems securely: read or update records, trigger workflows, automate multi-step tasks, and respond dynamically to changing data.

Code Interpreter and ChatKit

MCP-enabled feeds let you pipe your actual datasets into the ChatGPT Code environment. Ask ChatGPT to generate charts, compute custom metrics, run statistical models, or produce automation scripts—without exporting or duplicating your data.

Give AI from OpenAI real-time, semantic-rich access to your enterprise data

Built for MCP, optimized for ChatGPT

Engineered for seamless compatibility with ChatGPT via MCP, Connect AI delivers performance-tested integrations for low latency and high fidelity, so ChatGPT can reason directly over your business data without friction.

Minutes to set up

No code, no complex setup. Authorize your data sources, paste your MCP URL in ChatGPT or other OpenAI solutions, and start asking live questions instantly.

Smarter selective querying

Connect AI uses MCP to fetch only the data ChatGPT needs, when it needs it. That means more relevant answers, less token waste, and faster responses.

Enterprise security and governance built-in

Credentials pass through securely from the source, with full role-based controls, encryption, and audit visibility. Connect AI brings production-ready governance and IT oversight to every OpenAI integration.

Trusted by OpenAI users

“Connect AI changed how we access our ERP data. I pulled live financials mid-meeting and built a dashboard on the spot… access to our business data through simple conversation with AI is game-changing for how we operate.”
