# Connect ChatGPT

Set this up once at [chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com) on a computer. You sign in with your usual
FranchiseSEE login, and there is nothing to install. The connection is read-only. See
[Connect by signing in](https://franchisesee.com/docs/ai/sign-in.md) for what a signed-in app can see and do.

## Steps

1. In ChatGPT, open **Settings**, then **Plugins**. Choose **Browse Directory**, then
   **Add custom MCP server**.
2. Type `FranchiseSEE` as the name.
3. Under **Connection**, choose **Server URL** and paste this link:

   ```text
   https://app.franchisesee.com/mcp/reporting
   ```

4. Under **Authentication**, choose **OAuth**.

   Leave *Advanced OAuth settings* alone.

5. Tick **I understand and want to continue**, then choose **Create as a plugin**.

   ChatGPT shows this warning for every app you add yourself. That's expected.

6. FranchiseSEE's sign-in opens. Sign in with your usual FranchiseSEE login.
7. In a chat, type `@`, pick **FranchiseSEE**, and ask a question, such as "Which of my stores had
   the highest labor percentage last month?"

   If it answers with your numbers, you're connected.

> [!TIP]
> On a ChatGPT workspace plan, your workspace admin may control which custom apps members can add.
> If **Add custom MCP server** is missing, ask them.

## Using it

Mention FranchiseSEE with `@` to have ChatGPT look your data up. Ask in plain language; you never
need to name a tool. See [Example prompts](https://franchisesee.com/docs/ai/example-prompts.md) for questions to start with.

## Disconnect

Remove the plugin in ChatGPT's **Settings**, or disconnect ChatGPT from FranchiseSEE's
[Connected apps](https://franchisesee.com/docs/ai/sign-in.md#see-and-disconnect-your-apps).
