# Connect Ligura to ChatGPT

> Add Ligura to ChatGPT as an MCP server so ChatGPT can save and find your work.

Connect Ligura to ChatGPT, and ChatGPT can save useful results to your Works and read them back in later conversations.

## Before you start

* A Ligura account. [Start free](https://app.getligura.com/register) if you don't have one.
* A ChatGPT account that allows custom MCP servers. This depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace policy. In a business workspace, an administrator may need to enable it.

## 1. Copy your connection address

Ligura's connection address is:

```
https://connect.getligura.com/mcp
```

It is the MCP server address ChatGPT uses to reach Ligura. You can also copy it from [Ligura](https://app.getligura.com/): go to **Connections** and choose **ChatGPT**.

## 2. Add Ligura as an MCP server

1. In ChatGPT, open **Settings** and choose **Plugins**.
2. Select the **MCPs** tab.
3. Choose **Add**, then **Add MCP server**.

4. Name the server **Ligura** and enter the connection address you copied.
5. Save the server. When ChatGPT asks you to sign in, sign in to Ligura with your email link or code and review the access request before approving it.
6. Check that Ligura is listed under **Servers** and that its switch is on.

If you don't see **Add MCP server**, your account may need **Developer mode**. Look for it under **Settings**, then **Security and login**. In a business workspace, an administrator may need to allow custom MCP servers.

## 3. Use Ligura in a conversation

Start a new conversation. If Ligura isn't already available, add it from the tools menu. Then try:

> Use Ligura to list my Works.

If ChatGPT shows your Works, or tells you that you don't have any yet, the connection is working. Next, [save something worth keeping](/docs/continue-your-work.md).

## If something doesn't work

| What you notice | What to try |
| - | - |
| You can't find **Add MCP server** or **Developer mode** | Your plan or workspace may not allow custom MCP servers. Ask your ChatGPT workspace administrator, or check OpenAI's [connection guide](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/deploy/connect-chatgpt). |
| ChatGPT can't reach Ligura | Check that the address is exactly `https://connect.getligura.com/mcp`, with no spaces or extra characters. |
| Ligura isn't available in the conversation | In **Settings**, then **Plugins**, check that Ligura's switch is on under **MCPs**. Then start a new conversation. |
| ChatGPT can't find a Work | Confirm the Work name and the Workspace, and check that your account can access it. |

ChatGPT's menus change from time to time, so labels may differ slightly from this guide. If you are stuck, contact [support@getligura.com](mailto:support@getligura.com) and tell us which step you reached.

## Your work and ChatGPT

ChatGPT can read or change saved work only through the access you approve. Content ChatGPT retrieves is then handled under OpenAI's terms and privacy policy. To stop future access, disconnect ChatGPT from **Connections** in Ligura. Signing out of Ligura does not disconnect it. Read our [Privacy Policy](https://getligura.com/privacy/) for details.

Ligura is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI. ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI.
