ChatGPT’s custom MCP setup is currently a web workflow. Developer mode, full MCP access, and write behavior depend on your ChatGPT plan, workspace permissions, and app action controls. If you cannot see Create, ask your workspace admin to check the current Apps settings.
Create the app
1
Enable developer mode
Open Settings, then Apps, then Advanced Settings, and enable developer mode if your workspace makes that control available to you. Admins and owners can also begin from Workspace settings, then Apps, then Create.
2
Create the ApexGenius app
From Settings > Apps or Workspace settings > Apps, select Create. Name the app
ApexGenius, provide a clear internal description, and enter https://server.autom8.pro/mcp as the MCP server endpoint.3
Choose OAuth
Select OAuth as the authentication mechanism. Do not paste an ApexGenius password, access token, or Salesforce credential into the app configuration.
4
Scan tools and authorize
Select Scan Tools. When ChatGPT opens the authorization prompt, sign in to ApexGenius and approve the connection. Wait for the tool scan to finish, then select Create.
5
Select the draft app
Open a new chat and select ApexGenius from the ChatGPT tools menu. A newly created app may appear as a draft or with a Dev label until a workspace admin publishes it.
Verify the connection
With ApexGenius selected for the message, ask:Before a workspace rollout
- Review the actions returned by the tool scan.
- Test the draft app before publishing it.
- Confirm which members or groups may use it.
- Review write and modify actions separately from read actions.
- Refresh and review actions when the server’s tool definitions change.
