Connect ChatGPT to the EdgeComet MCP server ​

You connect ChatGPT to EdgeComet by adding https://cloud.edgecomet.com/mcp as a custom MCP server under Plugins, then signing in to EdgeComet when ChatGPT asks. After that, you call EdgeComet in a conversation with @.

In ChatGPT, a custom MCP server becomes a plugin. The steps follow OpenAI's help center. For the shared steps and revoking access, see Connect an AI client to the EdgeComet MCP server. Codex has its own setup: see Connect Codex to EdgeComet.

Before you start ​

  • An EdgeComet account.
  • A ChatGPT plan with custom MCP servers. OpenAI says: "Custom MCP server connections and full MCP support are available for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise/Edu customers on ChatGPT web." It adds: "Pro users can connect custom MCP servers with read/fetch permissions."
  • In a Business workspace, only admins and owners create plugins for custom MCP servers. In Enterprise and Edu, an admin can grant the Create plugins with MCPs permission to other members.
  • ChatGPT on the web. You add the server on chatgpt.com.

With read-only access, ChatGPT can use the EdgeComet tools marked read-only. Adding a website, live page reads, keyword research, CSV export, redirect mapping and Edge SEO drafting are not marked read-only and need write access. See Read-only tools.

Add EdgeComet in ChatGPT ​

  1. Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar, or go to chatgpt.com/plugins.
  2. Press the plus button and choose Add custom MCP server.
  3. Enter the name EdgeComet and, if you like, a description such as "SEO data and Edge SEO drafts for my websites".
  4. Under Connection, enter https://cloud.edgecomet.com/mcp.
  5. Under authentication, choose OAuth.
  6. Read the risk warning and tick I understand and want to continue.
  7. Press Create as a plugin.
  8. When ChatGPT asks you to sign in, check the account under Signed in as on the EdgeComet sign-in screen and press Authorize. EdgeComet lists its tools only after sign-in.
  9. Review the tools ChatGPT found and install the plugin.

OpenAI says: "You don't need to turn on Developer Mode first." ChatGPT asks you to accept the risk warning for each server instead.

Use EdgeComet in a conversation ​

  1. Start a new conversation.
  2. Type @ in the message box and choose EdgeComet.
  3. Ask, for example, "List my EdgeComet websites."

If you have not signed in yet, ChatGPT starts the sign-in when it first needs EdgeComet. Approve the EdgeComet screen, and ChatGPT runs the tool.

@mention EdgeComet again when a follow-up needs new data.

Share EdgeComet with your workspace ​

In Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces, an admin or owner publishes the tested connection for the workspace:

  1. Open the workspace in the Admin console, open Plugins and choose Manage Legacy Apps.
  2. Open Drafts, select EdgeComet and press Publish. Review the warnings for write actions.
  3. In Enterprise and Edu, use Configure Actions to choose which EdgeComet tools the workspace can use, and role-based access to choose who sees the app.

Members then find EdgeComet under Settings > Plugins. Each member signs in with their own EdgeComet account and sees only the websites that account can open.

The workspace keeps the tool list it had when it was published. When EdgeComet adds tools, an admin presses Refresh in the workspace app settings to load them. In Enterprise and Edu, new actions start turned off.

Set read and write permissions ​

ChatGPT treats a tool with MCP's read-only hint as a read action and every other tool as a write action. Adding a website, page reads, keyword research, export, redirect mapping and the Edge SEO drafting tools count as write actions. See Read-only tools.

Depending on your account and workspace, open Settings > Plugins, then EdgeComet, then Permissions:

  • Always ask: ChatGPT asks before it reads data or makes changes.
  • Allow read actions: ChatGPT runs the read-only tools without asking and asks before the others.
  • Allow low-risk actions: ChatGPT approves low-risk actions on its own.
  • Allow all actions: ChatGPT runs supported actions without asking. It is offered for some apps and accounts, not in the account-wide or workspace-wide settings.

In a managed workspace, workspace policy can replace these settings with its own approval prompts.

Edge SEO drafts never go live from ChatGPT. A person reviews and deploys them in the EdgeComet dashboard.

Remove EdgeComet from ChatGPT ​

  1. Open Settings > Plugins and select EdgeComet.
  2. Open the menu next to your connected account and choose Disconnect. Uninstalling the plugin can also disconnect it.

Then revoke the connection in EdgeComet. See Manage and revoke connections.
