Connect Autype through OAuth. You need an Autype account, owner/admin access to the selected workspace, and active Developer API access. Eligible accounts can start the Engine test with 50 credits for 14 days without a payment method. Rendering and file processing use automation credits; the connector cannot buy credits or change your subscription.

​
Add Autype as a custom connection

Availability depends on your ChatGPT account and workspace policies. A custom connection does not require Autype to be listed in the public directory.
  1. Open ChatGPT Plugins, select +, and choose Add custom MCP server.
  2. Name the connection Autype and enter this public endpoint:
  3. Use OAuth authentication, review the connection notice, and create the plugin.
  4. Sign in to Autype, choose the workspace, review the permissions, and approve access.
  5. Enable Autype in a new conversation, for example by selecting it with @.
The /chatgpt endpoint provides the focused ChatGPT tools and export view. The general-purpose /mcp endpoint remains available for other clients but is not an equivalent replacement for this integration.

​
Verify the connection

First ask:
“List my Autype projects, but do not change anything.”
Then explicitly request a document:
“Create a one-page A4 PDF draft titled Connection test and show me the result.”
Review write and render requests before approving them. ChatGPT controls the confirmation experience.

​
Attachments and exports

Attach a supported PDF or Word document and ask Autype to inspect or process it. ChatGPT must provide the original attachment through its supported file handoff; pasting a local path or an arbitrary URL does not provide file access. If no supported handoff is available, use a file already uploaded to Autype instead. Exports return temporary download links. The export view can show a selected PDF page for supported PDFs up to 8 MB. DOCX and ODT exports remain downloadable; a native ChatGPT preview for every format is not guaranteed. Ask to refresh the export status if a link expires while the output is still retained. Once the output file has expired, a new render is required and can consume credits.

​
Connection lifetime and removal

Short-lived access tokens are renewed using refresh tokens when offline access has been granted. Reconnect if access is revoked, the refresh grant expires, or you lose access to the workspace. To revoke access, open Autype Settings → Connected Apps, select the ChatGPT connection for the relevant workspace, and click Disconnect.

​
Refresh custom connections

After tool or UI changes, open the custom connection, select Refresh, and start a new conversation. Published plugins follow OpenAI’s review and update process instead. See OpenAI’s connection and testing documentation for the current controls.
