Copy the server URL
This is the hosted endpoint ChatGPT connects to:

https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp
```
2
Add a custom connector
In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors (Apps and connectors), and add a custom connector with this URL. Some plans need developer mode turned on first.

Sign in if asked
If the server uses OAuth, ChatGPT opens a sign-in page. Then pick the connector from the tools menu in a chat.
