Before you start
- A Raff account.
- A ChatGPT plan with custom MCP servers. OpenAI is changing which plans include them and whether write actions (creating or changing things) are allowed; check OpenAI’s guide for your plan. On Business, Enterprise and Edu, a workspace admin may need to allow custom apps first.
Steps
1
Add a custom MCP server
In ChatGPT, open the apps page, click + and choose Add custom MCP server.
2
Enter the Raff server
ChatGPT registers itself with Raff; you do not need a client ID or secret. Accept the warning about custom servers and create it.
3
Sign in with Raff
When ChatGPT asks you to connect, a Raff page opens: sign in, pick the account and click Allow access.
4
Ask ChatGPT
In a new chat, turn on the Raff app and ask: “List my Raff databases”.
What to expect
- ChatGPT asks you to confirm every tool that is not read-only before it runs it. Paid changes also show a price quote first.
- The Raff order card is drawn in Claude; ChatGPT shows the same quote as text.
- If your plan allows only read access, use the read-only URL
https://mcp.rafftechnologies.com/mcp?read_only=trueso ChatGPT only sees tools it can use.
