Connect Pharlo to ChatGPT

Status: Supported · Tested: No · Auth: OAuth 2.0 Bearer

ChatGPT can reach Pharlo through its MCP-compatible connector support for remote servers that use OAuth 2.0.

⚠️

We have not yet run an end-to-end verification with ChatGPT. Connector availability and the exact UI depend on your ChatGPT plan and whether MCP connectors are enabled for your account. Follow OpenAI's current connector docs and use the URL and auth type below.

What you need

A Pharlo key (ds_live_...) from Settings → Credentials in the console (opens in a new tab).
A ChatGPT plan/workspace where remote MCP connectors are available.

Setup

Open the connector / custom MCP server settings in ChatGPT.
Add a remote MCP server with the URL:

https://pharlo.io/_mcp

When prompted, complete the OAuth flow in your browser: enter your ds_live_... key on the consent screen and authorize.

Pharlo uses standard OAuth 2.0 (authorization code + PKCE) with dynamic client registration, so compliant connectors can discover and register automatically via https://pharlo.io/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.

Troubleshooting

No option to add a remote MCP server — MCP connectors may not be enabled for your plan; check OpenAI's connector availability.
Authorization fails — ensure the ds_live_... key is active and that you completed the browser consent step.

Limitations

MCP requests carry a 20% credit surcharge over direct REST calls.
