Connect ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports custom connectors through Developer mode. Whether you have it depends on your ChatGPT plan, and in business workspaces on what your admin allows.

1. Turn on Developer mode

Open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced and switch on Developer mode. On some plans it's under Settings → Connectors → Advanced instead.

If you can't find it, ask your ChatGPT workspace admin whether custom connectors are enabled.

2. Add Parade

  1. In Apps & Connectors, select Create (it may say Add custom connector).
  2. Enter:
    • Name: Parade
    • Description: Read-only Parade quotes, loads and carrier bid rates
    • URL: https://mcp.app.parade.ai/mcp
    • Authentication: OAuth
  3. Save. A Parade sign-in page opens. Check that it says ChatGPT wants read-only access, then sign in with your Parade email and password.
  4. You'll see You're connected, and you'll be taken back to ChatGPT.

3. Use it in a chat

In a new chat, choose Developer mode in the message box and turn on Parade. Then ask, for example:

Show me every quote on load 4410023.

Parade lookups are read-only, so ChatGPT won't ask you to confirm each one.
