Connect ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports custom MCP connectors on Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans.

Steps​

  1. Open ChatGPT and click Settings → Connectors
  2. Click Add a custom connector
  3. Paste the URL:
    https://api.sharedmemory.ai/mcp
  4. Click Connect. ChatGPT opens a browser tab to SharedMemory.
  5. Sign in (if you aren't already) and pick the default project the connector should use.
  6. Click Allow.

You're done. ChatGPT can now call remember, query, and the other SharedMemory tools whenever a conversation needs them.

How to use it​

In a new ChatGPT conversation, you can prompt ChatGPT directly:

"Remember that I prefer TypeScript with strict mode and tabs for indentation."

"What did I tell you about my deployment process?"

"Find everything you know about my coworker Sarah."

ChatGPT will pick the right SharedMemory tool automatically. You don't have to call anything by name.

Switching projects mid-conversation​

The connector defaults to the project you picked at consent time. To talk about a different project in a single message, just say so:

"In my acme-prod project, remember that we use Postgres for everything."

ChatGPT will pass volume_id for that project explicitly. You can list available projects any time with:

"What SharedMemory projects do I have?"

Revoking access​

Open SharedMemory Dashboard → Connectors → Connected apps and click Revoke next to ChatGPT. The next time ChatGPT tries to use SharedMemory, it'll prompt you to reconnect.

Troubleshooting​

"Connection failed" in ChatGPT — usually means the consent flow was closed before completing. Try connecting again; the OAuth code is single-use so you can't recover a partial flow.

Memories show up as "ChatGPT" in the Activity feed — that's correct. Every memory created through this connector is attributed to ChatGPT so you can audit it later.

The connector is "rate limited" — Each user is allowed 1000 MCP requests per minute per token plus your normal plan limits. If you hit this, the response is 429 and ChatGPT will back off automatically.
