How do I connect LUVI to ChatGPT?
On ChatGPT Business or Enterprise/Edu, add LUVI as a custom MCP server with the URL https://www.luvicreator.com/api/mcp and sign in to LUVI when asked. ChatGPT can then search and fetch your library, estimate costs and generate.
Adding the connector
- In ChatGPT on the web, open Plugins, press + and choose Add custom MCP server. Developer mode no longer needs to be on.
- Name it LUVI and enter
https://www.luvicreator.com/api/mcpas the server URL. - Set authentication to OAuth, tick I understand and want to continue and press Create as a plugin.
- ChatGPT opens LUVI's sign-in page. Sign in and approve the connection.
- In a chat, type @ and pick LUVI. The choice applies to that message; mention LUVI again when a follow-up needs it.
On a Business workspace only admins and owners can add a custom MCP server; on Enterprise/Edu an admin can grant the permission to other members.
What ChatGPT can do
The same tools Claude gets, documented at /docs/mcp, where the page title carries the live count. Two of them exist specifically for ChatGPT's conventions:
search— find generations and uploads in your library by text; used automatically in research.fetch— return one item with its details and the real credits it cost.
For creation, ChatGPT uses list_models and get_model_schema to see a model's exact parameters, estimate_cost to quote, and generate to run.
Getting files in
Attaching a file to the chat does not pass its bytes to a tool. Use get_upload_link, which opens LUVI's upload dialog in your browser locked to the right project, then continue in the chat. The next article covers this in detail.
Frequently asked
Why does ChatGPT keep calling search and fetch?
Those two tools are how ChatGPT reads external data, including in deep research. search finds items in your library by query; fetch returns one item by id.
Can ChatGPT generate directly?
Yes, with the generate tool, after quoting the cost with estimate_cost. The result is saved to your Library like any other generation.
Does this work on the free plan of ChatGPT?
No. According to OpenAI (October 2026), custom MCP servers with full access, including generating, are for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise/Edu, on the web only. On Pro, a custom MCP server can only read: search and fetch your library.
