Set up ChatGPT.
ChatGPT connects to your croft as a custom MCP server. It's a few more clicks than Claude, but you only do it once - then just chat.
Connecting ChatGPT needs ChatGPT Plus or better - its connector/MCP support isn't available on the free tier. On the free plan you'll need to upgrade, or connect Claude instead.

Find your croft's exact link in your dashboard under Connect an AI assistant and copy it from there.
-
Copy your connection link
In your croft dashboard, open Connect an AI assistant and hit Copy. It looks like
https://mcp.oncroft.net. -
Turn on Developer mode
In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Plugins and enable Developer mode. That's what lets you add a custom MCP server.
-
Add a new plugin
Open the Plugins section and click the + button at the top right, next to the plugins search box.
-
Fill in Croft's details
Name it Croft and set the connection URL to the link you copied (
https://mcp.oncroft.net). Tick the box to agree to using custom MCP servers, then click Create. -
Connect and sign in
Click Connect and sign in to authenticate Croft with ChatGPT. If you're asked about tool permissions, choose "Always allow."
The idea is the same for any assistant that speaks MCP - add a server, point it at your link, authorize - even if the menus are named a little differently. And because Croft keeps your apps behind your login no matter what, letting your assistant work freely never puts your data in front of strangers.
Connected. Now describe an app in ChatGPT and it lands on your croft.
