Connect ChatGPT to Ecobot
ChatGPT supports custom MCP connectors on paid plans. Add Ecobot once from a desktop browser and the connector syncs to the iOS and Android apps. ChatGPT prefers MCP tools shaped like search / fetch — Ecobot's search_supplement_content tool works everywhere; richer tools surface most reliably in Deep Research mode and developer contexts.

- A paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise. Custom connectors are not available on Free.

Notes & caveats
- In standard chat mode ChatGPT primarily uses search-shaped tools. To use every Ecobot tool, run the request in Deep Research or a developer / API context.
- Business and Enterprise workspaces require an admin to allow custom connectors under Settings → Workspace → Connectors.
Ask IT to enable it
Copy this email and send it to whoever manages ChatGPT at your organization. It has everything they need to add the connector in a few minutes.
Hi IT, Please add the Ecobot regulatory reference as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector to our ChatGPT deployment. It gives our team citation-first answers from the 1987 Corps Manual, every USACE Regional Supplement, and the 2025 National OHWM Manual — verbatim quotes with page-anchored PDF links, no synthesis. What I need: • Add a custom MCP connector in our ChatGPT (OpenAI) tenant / workspace • Endpoint: https://ecobot.com/mcp • Authentication: None (public, read-only) • Scope: Enable for my team (or org-wide if appropriate) Why it matters: • Regulatory answers with verbatim quotes + page-anchored citations — audit-defensible • Reduces time spent digging through hundreds of pages of USACE guidance • Free to use — no license, no API key • Setup guide: https://ecobot.com/resources/ai/chatgpt Please let me know once it's available, or if you need anything from me to move forward. Thanks!
