How to connect Catchr MCP to ChatGPT

Quick answer

1. Enable Developer mode in ChatGPT
2. Create a new app with your Catchr MCP server URL
3. Authenticate
4. Then use the Catchr app directly in chat prompts.

What you need

• A Catchr MCP endpoint URL (example: https://api.catchr.io/mcp)
• Valid Catchr authentication (OAuth)
• At least one data source must be connected in app.catchr.io.
• Access to ChatGPT settings with app creation enabled

Connect Catchr MCP to ChatGPT step-by-step

1. Enable Developer mode

Open ChatGPT settings and go to Apps, then enable Developer mode.

2. Create the Catchr app

In the same Apps area, click Create app. Fill in:

• Name: Catchr
• Description (optional): Access all your Marketing data.
• MCP Server URL: https://api.catchr.io/mcp
• Authentication: OAuth

Check the risk confirmation box, then click Create.

3. Start using Catchr in chat

Open a new chat in Developer mode and call Catchr directly in your prompt.

4. Validate the output

If connected correctly, ChatGPT uses Catchr tools and returns structured marketing metrics and insights.

Example prompts

1. Using Catchr, create a monthly GA4 recap with key KPIs and 5 prioritized recommendations.
2. Compare this period vs the previous one and explain what impacted conversion the most.
3. Give me an actionable channel review: what to keep, what to cut, and what to test next.

Troubleshooting

• If app creation is unavailable: confirm Developer mode is enabled.
• If you don't see Developer mode in the Apps menu, your workspace likely restricts app management. On Enterprise accounts, only the workspace Owner or an Admin can add apps like Catchr MCP.
• If auth fails: reconnect OAuth and retry.
• If no tools are called: explicitly mention Using the Catchr MCP app in the prompt.
