ChatGPT App

Bubbles’ remote MCP server can be added to ChatGPT as a connector, letting ChatGPT read your teams, bubbles, transcripts, and comments — and record a meeting for you — through the tools described in the MCP reference.

Same server, different client

ChatGPT and Claude connect to the same Bubbles MCP endpoint the same way. This page covers the ChatGPT-specific steps; the MCP Server reference has the tool schemas.

Before you start

• The MCP endpoint is your Bubbles API origin followed by /mcp:

  https://api-tom.usebubbles.com/mcp

• Adding a connector in ChatGPT currently requires developer mode (Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode), which lets you add a custom MCP server by URL.

• Connecting takes no setup: ChatGPT registers itself automatically (dynamic client registration) and completes the OAuth handshake in the background — no token to paste and no approval screen. You sign in afterwards, in plain language, inside the chat.

Add Bubbles in ChatGPT

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors. Enable Developer mode under Advanced if you don’t already see the option to add a custom connector.

2. Choose Add custom connector (MCP server) and paste your MCP endpoint URL:

   https://api-tom.usebubbles.com/mcp

3. ChatGPT connects right away — there is no authorization screen to approve.

4. Start a chat, enable the Bubbles connector, and ask ChatGPT to sign you in (below).

Sign in inside the chat

A newly added connector is not signed in yet: ChatGPT can see the Bubbles tools, but the ones that read your data return a short “not signed in” message with no data until you sign in. There is no password and no token to copy — signing in happens entirely in the conversation:

1. Ask ChatGPT to sign you in to Bubbles. ChatGPT asks for your email and Bubbles emails you a sign-in code. (The same step logs in existing users and creates an account for new ones.)

2. Read the code back to ChatGPT. That finishes signing you in — on the same connection.

3. If you’re new, ChatGPT offers to set up a workspace: join one your email domain already uses, or create your own (which may include a free Pro trial).

Once you’re signed in, the read tools return your data and join_meeting works. ChatGPT remembers the connection, so a new conversation is already signed in.

What ChatGPT can do once connected

The same six read-only tools (full schemas in the MCP reference):

• list_bubbles, search_bubbles, get_bubble, get_bubble_transcript, get_bubble_comments, list_teams.

plus one write tool:

• join_meeting — send the Bubbles notetaker to join and record a meeting by link. It uses the meetings:join permission your connection carries and is used only when you explicitly ask ChatGPT to record a meeting.

With the read tools ChatGPT can read your bubbles but cannot create, edit, or delete anything — and it only ever sees bubbles you can read in the product.

Review / availability status

Pending

Bubbles is not yet published as a reviewed ChatGPT app. Public app availability requires OpenAI organization verification and app review (tracked as an owner action). In the meantime, developer mode lets you add and use the Bubbles connector directly with the URL above.

Troubleshooting

• No “Add custom connector” option — enable Developer mode in Settings → Connectors → Advanced.
• Discovery / connection fails — confirm you pasted your Bubbles MCP endpoint (https://api-tom.usebubbles.com/mcp) exactly, and that it is reachable over the public internet (ChatGPT connects from OpenAI’s cloud, not your device).
• Tools return “not signed in” — that’s the expected state before you sign in. Ask ChatGPT to sign you in to Bubbles (above) and read back the emailed code.
• A tool returns nothing after sign-in — you only see bubbles you can read in the product; the same access rules apply to the API and MCP.
