ChatGPT (Developer Mode)

# Developer Mode MCP.

Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu on the web. Paste URL + token. If you’d rather use the OAuth-default path once BankBridge is approved as a default app, see [ChatGPT (Apps SDK)](https://bankbridge.money/docs/chatgpt-apps-sdk).

Step 01

## Turn on Developer Mode.

In ChatGPT, open **Settings → Connectors → Advanced** and toggle **Developer Mode**. This reveals the _Import remote MCP_ option.

Step 02

## Add BankBridge.

Click _Import remote MCP_ and paste:

ChatGPT Developer Mode

```
1. ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer Mode
2. Import remote MCP
3. URL: https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp
4. Auth: Custom token
5. Authorization: Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here
```

Step 03

## Verify it works.

BankBridge appears in your connectors list. Start a chat, enable it, ask:

try this

```
how much did I spend on food last month?
```

Plan tiers

Developer Mode MCP requires ChatGPT **Plus**or higher (Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu). Free tier can’t add custom MCPs yet. Mobile app doesn’t support Developer Mode conversations you start on web will have BankBridge, mobile-only chats won’t.

For enterprise admins

If you’re deploying BankBridge org-wide, see [ChatGPT Enterprise Connectors](https://bankbridge.money/docs/chatgpt-enterprise) . Admin-installed connectors appear for every member automatically.

Troubleshooting

Client connects but shows 0 tools.

Usually the client is caching an old config, or you're on a mode that doesn't expose tools (Ask/Edit vs Agent, for example).

**Fix:** Fully quit + relaunch the host app. In VS Code Copilot, switch to Agent mode.

401 Unauthorized on every call.

The API key is missing, typo'd, or got revoked. Check the Authorization header starts with \`Bearer \` (note the space) and ends in a key you still own.

**Fix:** Paste a fresh key from [Settings](https://bankbridge.money/dashboard/settings).

Tools return setup\_required.

Your BankBridge account has no active subscription yet, or it was canceled or is past due. The connection itself works; each tool answers with the link that finishes setup.

**Fix:** Visit [Settings](https://bankbridge.money/dashboard/settings) to start or restore your subscription, then connect a bank.

Tools return a NO\_CONNECTIONS warning.

You haven't linked a bank yet.

**Fix:** Visit [Connect a bank](https://bankbridge.money/dashboard/connect) . The bank-connect flow opens automatically, ~30 seconds.
