Connecting ChatGPT to your brand guidelines

The ChatGPT MCP integration allows you to connect your Guidelines brand data directly to OpenAI's ChatGPT using the Model Context Protocol. This enables ChatGPT to access and work with your brand colors, fonts, typography styles, and guidelines in real-time.

Note: This integration requires a ChatGPT Business or Enterprise plan. View ChatGPT pricing. Plus and Pro users must enable developer mode in ChatGPT settings in order to use MCP connectors.
