The illustrated example below uses **ChatGPT**. For **Claude** or **Codex**, see the short instructions at the end.

## 1. Enable MCP in KaoJai Admin

1. Use **Starter or higher**: [view plans and subscribe](https://admin.kaojai.ai/billing/plans).
2. If MCP is unavailable, [request early access from KaoJai](https://admin.kaojai.ai/help).
3. In [KaoJai Admin → Integrations → MCP](https://admin.kaojai.ai/integrations/mcp), select your workspace and turn on MCP. Ask an Owner if the switch is unavailable.

## 2. Turn on ChatGPT Developer mode

In ChatGPT, go to **Settings → Security and login → Developer mode** and turn it on.

## 3. Create the ChatGPT app

Open [ChatGPT Plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins), click **+**, then choose **Create app**.

![Create app highlighted in the ChatGPT Plugins menu](./images/chatgpt-create-app-menu.png)

Choose **Create MCP App**.

![Create MCP App button highlighted in the New Plugin dialog](./images/chatgpt-create-mcp-app.png)

The icon is optional. To use it, <a href="/images/kj-mcp-logo-128.png" download>download the KaoJai MCP icon (PNG)</a>, then upload it in the **Icon** field.

Match the numbered fields and buttons in this screenshot:

| # | Field | Enter or select |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Name | <copyable-value data-value="KJ admin (RC260923)" data-label="Name">KJ admin (RC260923)</copyable-value> |
| 2 | Description | <copyable-value data-value="KaoJai admin console MCP" data-label="Description">KaoJai admin console MCP</copyable-value> |
| 3 | Server URL | <copyable-value data-value="https://mcp.kaojai.ai/admin" data-label="Server URL">https://mcp.kaojai.ai/admin</copyable-value> |
| 4 | Authentication | Select **OAuth** |
| 5 | Custom MCP warning | Check **I understand and want to continue** |
| 6 | Create the app | Click **Create** |

ChatGPT discovers the OAuth settings automatically, so you do not need to enter a client ID. After the app is created, choose **Sign in with KJ admin (RC260923)** (or the app name you entered).

## 4. Connect and test

On the KaoJai page, review the businesses and permissions, then click **Connect**. **workspace.action** allows supported changes, so review tool calls before allowing them.

Refresh ChatGPT. In a new chat, type **@kj**, select the app name you entered, then ask a question such as **“Summarize today's messages.”**

![Select KJ admin from the ChatGPT at-mention menu](./images/chatgpt-select-kj-admin.png)

ChatGPT should answer using your KaoJai workspace. The details will depend on your data.

## 5. Connect Claude or Codex

**Claude:** Go to **Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector**. Name it **KJ admin** and enter `https://mcp.kaojai.ai/admin`. Click **Add → Connect** to authorize. On Team or Enterprise, an Owner must add the custom connector in organization settings first. [Claude custom connector guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp)

**Codex:** Add the MCP server and sign in with the commands below. Then ask Codex to summarize your workspace data. [Codex MCP guide](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp)

```bash
codex mcp add kj-admin --url https://mcp.kaojai.ai/admin
codex mcp login kj-admin
```

Claude and Codex connections are in early access. If a client's OAuth flow changes, follow that client's current guide.
