What is the MCP MCP server?

MCP Server for ChatGPT via AppleScript. The mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 2 defined tools rather than through you.

What it actually does

Go to Settings -> Tools -> Add and use the following config:

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • cursor — The cursor tool exposed by this server
  • chatwise — Go to Settings -> Tools -> Add and use the following config:

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp-server-chatgpt-app on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

When to reach for it

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. MCP's toolset — cursor, chatwise — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 2 tools (cursor, chatwise) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with MCP directly.
