ChatGPT

ChatGPT cannot add the connector. On Plus or Pro, you add it yourself, with developer mode on. On Business, Enterprise or Edu, an admin adds it once for the workspace. Then one prompt.

  1. Connect Mana

    Your plan

    Turn on developer mode

    On a personal paid plan, you add the connector yourself. The setting sits behind developer mode, because a custom connector can read and write real data. Open Settings, then Connectors. Open Advanced, and turn on Developer mode.

    Add the connector

    Back in Connectors, create a new connector. Give it the name Mana and this address:

    https://mcp.mana.scalarmind.com

    Choose OAuth for authentication. Mana runs the sign-in itself, so there is no key to paste and no client id to register. If the form asks for one, leave it empty. Save, then choose Connect. Mana's sign-in opens in your browser. Confirm once, and come back.

    The admin adds the connector

    On a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace, an admin adds Mana once for every member. The admin allows custom connectors in the workspace settings. Then the admin adds a custom connector with this address and OAuth for authentication, and publishes it to the workspace:

    https://mcp.mana.scalarmind.com

    Each member connects

    Each member, the admin too, opens Settings, then Connectors, finds Mana among the workspace's connectors, and chooses Connect. Confirm once in Mana's sign-in, and come back. If you do not see Mana there, ask your admin.

  2. Then paste the prompt

    In a new chat, turn on the Mana connector for that chat, then paste this prompt. It tells the assistant to read the standing instructions, which carry the rules your organization keeps.

    The prompt · after Mana is connected
    I have connected the Mana MCP server to this assistant.
Call mana_standing_instructions and follow what it returns: it carries standard organization rules, and it says when to read it again.
    For claude.ai and ChatGPT, where a person adds the connector in the product’s settings first.

    The prompt sets up this chat only. ChatGPT has no Mana step yet that reaches every chat, so in a later chat paste the prompt again, or ask the chat to search or store in Mana.

    Then store your first memory.

What works, and what to expect

Every Mana tool your grant carries is available, the same as in any other client. ChatGPT asks you to approve a tool the first time a chat uses it. On Plus or Pro, a chat with developer mode on also says so.

Reading is the strong case here: search the store, read a memory, get an answer with its evidence. Writing works too, and if you are storing a lot at once, an agent on your own machine is less clicking.

When the connection is lost

Open Settings, Connectors, and connect Mana again. Nothing in the store is lost.

Removing it

On Plus or Pro, open Settings, then Connectors, and delete the Mana connector. On a workspace, ask your admin, who removes it for every member. Either way, this disconnects ChatGPT and deletes nothing: see Remove Mana.
