Connect your AI

Connect ChatGPT to your search.

The route that works today is the Responses API, where SoloSearcher is a tool block on your request. Connecting from inside ChatGPT itself is not yet available — the steps are below so you can see what is coming, and exactly where they stop.

These steps follow OpenAI's own developer-mode documentation. We have not connected ChatGPT to SoloSearcher ourselves, so if a screen or a flag does not match what you see, trust ChatGPT — and tell us, so we can fix this page.

From the API #

Call the Responses API yourself and SoloSearcher is a tool block rather than an app. This is the route that works today.

Create an API key in Settings → API Keys and copy it right away — it is shown once.

Pass SoloSearcher as a tool on the request, with your key in place of YOUR_API_KEY:

{
  "type": "mcp",
  "server_label": "solosearcher",
  "server_url": "https://app.solosearcher.com/mcp",
  "authorization": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

Ask the model to list SoloSearcher tools to confirm the server answered.

That authorization value is sent as a Bearer token on every call, so treat it like a password.

In ChatGPT — not yet available #

SoloSearcher does not accept sign-in from ChatGPT itself yet. The steps are here so you can see what is coming, but the connection will fail at the sign-in step today.

In ChatGPT, turn on developer mode: Settings → Security and login → Developer mode.
Open Plugins and press the plus button to create an app from a remote server.
Paste the SoloSearcher connection URL and choose OAuth as the authentication method.
```
https://app.solosearcher.com/mcp
```
This is where it stops today. SoloSearcher refuses the registration, and ChatGPT reports that it could not authenticate. Use the API route above instead.

We gate which hosts may receive an authorization code, and ChatGPT's is not on that list yet. Nothing on your side is misconfigured.

Choose what ChatGPT can do #

Every connection is scoped when you approve it. Read-only lets ChatGPT search and read your companies, notes, contacts, and financials. Read-and-write also lets it save its work — finished reports, notes, and updates land on the company record instead of staying in the chat.

A read-only connection can still run any skill; it returns the analysis to you in the conversation rather than storing it. You can revoke access at any time, and every request is recorded in the product audit trail.

First thing to try #

Confirm the connection is live by asking the model:

List the SoloSearcher tools you can use, then show me the companies I am tracking.

Then put it to work: ask it to run one of the built-in diligence skills — valuation, earnings quality, owner assessment — against a company you're tracking.
