To use TokScript inside ChatGPT, you'll enable it through ChatGPT's GPT builder or connector marketplace.

Steps:

  1. Log into ChatGPT.

  2. Go to Explore > My GPTs or the Connector Marketplace (depending on your ChatGPT version).

  3. Search for "TokScript" in the available integrations.

  4. Click "Install" or "Add to ChatGPT."

  5. You'll be redirected to TokScript's OAuth login. Sign in with your TokScript account.

  6. After you authenticate, approve the access request by clicking "Authorize."

  7. You'll be redirected back to ChatGPT. The integration is now ready.

For ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team members, the MCP connector is included and available to install directly from the connector library.

Once installed, you can use TokScript features naturally in conversation—"Transcribe this Instagram Reel" or "Download this YouTube Shorts video." ChatGPT will route the request through the TokScript MCP integration.

If you run into issues, make sure:

  • You're logged into ChatGPT with an active account (Plus, Pro, or Team).

  • Your TokScript account is in good standing.

  • Your browser allows third-party cookies (required for OAuth).Connecting TokScript to ChatGPT follows a similar process to Claude. Here's the full walkthrough.

What you need before starting

A TokScript account (free or paid). A ChatGPT account with access to custom connectors/plugins (ChatGPT Plus or Team plan).

Step-by-step setup

Step 1 - Open ChatGPT and navigate to your settings or the plugin/connector menu.

Step 2 - Look for "Custom GPTs," "Plugins," or "Actions" - the exact location depends on your ChatGPT version. Select the option to add a new custom connector or action.

Step 3 - When prompted for the connector URL or API endpoint, enter: https://api.tokscript.com/mcp

Step 4 - ChatGPT will detect the TokScript connector and redirect you to the TokScript login page. Sign in with your email/password or Google Sign-In.

Step 5 - Authorize the connection by clicking "Allow" when prompted. This grants ChatGPT permission to use your TokScript account on your behalf.

Step 6 - You'll be redirected back to ChatGPT. The TokScript connector should now appear in your active connectors with the TokScript logo.

How to verify it's working

Start a new conversation and ask ChatGPT to transcribe any video by pasting a TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube URL. If it returns a transcript with video stats, you're all set.

Key differences from Claude setup

The core process is the same - enter the endpoint URL, log in, authorize. The only differences are in where ChatGPT places its connector settings within its interface, which may vary as OpenAI updates their UI. The TokScript endpoint URL and login flow are identical regardless of which AI platform you're connecting to.
