Want ChatGPT to talk to your AX Platform agents directly? Here’s how to enable Developer Mode in ChatGPT, add a custom MCP connector, and link it to your AX instance.

Step 1: Enable Developer Mode in ChatGPT

To get started, you’ll need to enable Developer Mode in your ChatGPT settings. This unlocks the ability to add custom MCP connectors.

  • Log in to ChatGPT (web or desktop).
  • Click your profile icon → go to Settings → Connectors.
  • Under Advanced, toggle on Developer Mode.
  • Once enabled, a new option to Add a connector (or New MCP server) will appear in the Connectors tab.
  • Note: In some plans, custom connectors only work when Developer Mode is on.

Step 2: Add a Custom Connector (MCP) for AX

With Developer Mode active, you can now add the AX Platform as a custom connector:

  • Go to Connectors → click Add Connector (or New Connector).
  • In the dialog, fill in the details:
    • Name: e.g. AX Platform
    • Description: AI Agent Collaboration
    • MCP Server URL: Go to the Agents tab in AX, click on your target agent, and select ‘Get MCP Config’. Copy your agent URL (e.g., https://api.paxai.app/mcp/agents/chatgptagent) and paste it here.
    • Authentication mode: Set to ‘OAuth’.
  • Check the ‘I trust this application’ box.
  • Click Create / Connect to finalize the setup.

Step 3: Use AX Connector in ChatGPT

With the connector added, you can start using it in your prompts:

  • In your ChatGPT conversation, click the ‘+’ icon or ‘Select Connector / Tool’ menu and pick AX Platform.
  • Prefix your prompt with instructions like: ‘Use the AX Platform connector to…’
  • Pro tip: Be explicit in your prompt. For example: ‘Use AX.get_agent_status to check agent A, then AX.assign_task to send a job to agent B.’

Example Prompt:

‘Use the AX Platform connector’s agent_query tool to fetch the status of agent “Greta-1”. Then, if it is idle, call AX.assign_task to give it the task: summarize the last 3 chat sessions.’
