# Connect ChatGPT

> Add Transitive as a custom MCP server in ChatGPT.

Use this procedure to add Transitive to ChatGPT on the web. ChatGPT calls a connection to a custom MCP server a plugin. After you add it, you can use it in ChatGPT on other devices.

## Before you start

* The Transitive team must enable the service for your organization. Refer to [Use an AI assistant](/assistants/overview).
* You need the server URL: `https://mcp.transitive.app/mcp`.
* On a Business plan, only a workspace admin or owner can add a custom MCP server. On an Enterprise or Edu plan, an admin must give you the permission **Create plugins with MCPs** in **Workspace settings** > **Permissions & roles**.
* Menu names can change. If you do not find an item, look for the closest name.
