ChatGPT supports MCP servers via the Connectors framework. Recon plugs in as a Custom Connector. You'll need to enable Developer Mode first.
1. Enable Developer Mode
Go to ChatGPT Settings → Connectors → Advanced and toggle Developer mode on.

2. Add the Recon connector
In ChatGPT Settings, open Connectors and click Add app.
Configure:
- Name: Recon
- URL:
https://askrecon.com/api/mcp - Authentication: OAuth
- Check I trust this application and click Create
Follow the OAuth flow to sign in with your Recon account.
3. Enable Recon in chats
Open a new ChatGPT thread. In the chat input, click the Tools (or Connectors) menu and select Recon.
Ask:
List my Recon accounts, sorted by risk.
ChatGPT will call list_accounts and return the ranked list.
Try the canned prompts
Brief me on Acme. Their recent product activity, open tickets, and renewal date.Which customers have been affected by the export bug REC-447?What themes are coming up across customers this week?
How it works
ChatGPT's Connectors framework speaks the MCP protocol natively. Authentication is OAuth, so your ChatGPT session and your Recon session stay scoped to your accounts. All six Recon tools (get_account, list_accounts, search, impact, themes, theme_evidence) are read-only.
Troubleshooting
- Developer Mode is greyed out: only available on ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise plans.
- OAuth callback fails: try the OAuth flow in a fresh browser tab (clears stale ChatGPT cookies).
- The connector doesn't appear in chat: open the Tools menu inside a thread and toggle Recon on; it's per-thread.
