# Connect Hoard to ChatGPT

> Talk to your Hoard inventory in plain English from ChatGPT.

Connect Hoard to ChatGPT and ask things like "what's selling best this week?" or "draft a pricing rule that floors all Standard cards at 80% of TCGplayer market" right inside ChatGPT.

## What you'll need

* A paid plan ([Gold, Platinum, or Diamond](https://www.tryhoard.com/pricing))
* A ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Business account (Connectors require a paid plan)

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Turn on developer mode">
    In ChatGPT, open **Settings → Apps → Advanced settings** and turn on **Developer mode**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a custom app">
    Go back to **Settings → Apps**, click **Create**, then choose the custom MCP app/connector option.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the Hoard MCP URL">
    Paste this URL into the connector field:

    ```text theme={null}
    https://mcp.tryhoard.com/mcp
    ```

    If ChatGPT asks for a name, use **ChatGPT Connector**. If it asks for authentication, choose **OAuth**. Click **Scan Tools** or the equivalent next step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to Hoard and finish setup">
    ChatGPT opens a Hoard sign-in window. Sign in, then click **Allow** on the consent screen. After the redirect back to ChatGPT, wait for the tool scan to finish, then click **Create**.

    The connection uses OAuth — no API key paste required. Revoke any time from [Settings → Assistants](https://www.tryhoard.com/settings/connected-apps).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Try it out">
    Start a new ChatGPT conversation, click **+ → More**, select the connector, then ask:

    > "What were my best-selling cards last week?"

    ChatGPT will pull live data from your Hoard account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Revoking access

Open [Settings → Assistants](https://www.tryhoard.com/settings/connected-apps) in Hoard and click **Revoke** next to ChatGPT.

## Troubleshooting

**ChatGPT does not show Create or custom MCP connectors**
Make sure **Developer mode** is turned on under **Settings → Apps → Advanced settings**.
Custom MCP connectors may also depend on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings.

**The Hoard sign-in window never appears**
Remove the failed connector, create it again, and use **ChatGPT Connector** as the connector name
if ChatGPT asks for one.

**ChatGPT says the connector failed**
Make sure you pasted `https://mcp.tryhoard.com/mcp` exactly, including the trailing `/mcp`.

**ChatGPT shows a draft app but the OAuth flow fails after redirect**
Delete the draft and recreate it from **Settings → Apps → Create**. Use **OAuth** if ChatGPT asks which authentication method to use, and wait for the tool scan to finish before clicking **Create**.
