Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with the free ChatGPT plan?
No. OpenAI currently provides full MCP tool support, including write actions, on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu on the web. Pro custom MCP apps are limited to read and fetch actions. The Crispy MCP server is $49/seat/mo.
Is this a ChatGPT plugin or an MCP server?
It is a remote MCP server configured as a custom ChatGPT app. Add the server URL, scan its tools, and authorize through OAuth.
Do I need an API key?
No. ChatGPT uses OAuth to connect to Crispy, so you just authorize the connection through your browser. No API keys to copy or manage.
What LinkedIn actions can ChatGPT perform?
Crispy documents tools for search, profiles, messages, connection requests, content, analytics, and campaigns. ChatGPT access depends on the actions and permissions approved for the custom app.
