Overview

This MCP server provides access to OpenAI's ChatGPT API, enabling conversational AI capabilities within Claude Desktop with web search and conversation state management.

This MCP server is relatively safe for general use, but the risk of compromised API keys and the potential for misuse through the ask_chatgpt_with_web_search tool should be considered. It is safe when used with appropriate rate limiting and monitoring of API usage. It is risky if the OpenAI API key is exposed or if the web search tool is used without proper safeguards.

Performance depends on the OpenAI API's response time and the complexity of the prompt. Web search can add significant latency.

Costs are primarily driven by OpenAI API usage, which is based on token consumption. Web search can increase costs due to additional API calls.

moderate

ask_chatgpt(prompt, model, temperature, max_output_tokens, response_id)

Sends a prompt to ChatGPT and returns the response.

Allows arbitrary prompt execution, which could lead to unintended actions or information disclosure.

high

ask_chatgpt_with_web_search(prompt, model, temperature, max_output_tokens, response_id)

Sends a prompt to ChatGPT with web search enabled and returns the response.

Combines arbitrary prompt execution with external web access, increasing the risk of accessing malicious content.

Known Risks

!Compromised OpenAI API key leading to unauthorized usage and cost.
!Potential for prompt injection attacks through the ChatGPT API.
!Exposure of sensitive information through conversation history if not properly managed by OpenAI.
!Over-reliance on ChatGPT for critical decision-making without human oversight.
!Web search tool could access malicious or misleading websites.

Safety Score

moderate risk

This MCP server is relatively safe for general use, but the risk of compromised API keys and the potential for misuse through the `ask_chatgpt_with_web_search` tool should be considered. It is safe when used with appropriate rate limiting and monitoring of API usage. It is risky if the OpenAI API key is exposed or if the web search tool is used without proper safeguards.

Positive

+Uses OpenAI's Responses API for conversation state management, reducing local data handling.
+Relies on OpenAI's security measures for API access.
+Configurable model versions and parameters limit potential misuse.
+Requires an OpenAI API key, providing some level of access control.

Risks

-Requires an OpenAI API key, which, if compromised, could lead to unauthorized usage.
-Exposes the ChatGPT API to Claude Desktop, potentially allowing for unintended actions if not properly controlled.
-The `ask_chatgpt_with_web_search` tool introduces the risk of accessing and processing untrusted web content.
-Lack of built-in rate limiting could lead to excessive API usage and unexpected costs.

Use Cases

Content Generation

-Generating creative text formats, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc.

Who Is This For?

Best For

Prototyping conversational AI applications.
Integrating ChatGPT into existing workflows.
Experimenting with different ChatGPT models and parameters.
Tasks requiring up-to-date information from the web.
Users familiar with the OpenAI API and its limitations.

Not Ideal For

Production environments requiring high availability and reliability.
Applications handling sensitive or confidential data without proper encryption and security measures.
Use cases requiring real-time responses with low latency.
Scenarios where cost is a primary constraint.

Autonomy & Execution

Default ModeConfigurable

Sandboxed

Autonomy is limited by the capabilities of the ChatGPT API and the configured parameters. The server relies on OpenAI's sandboxing and security measures.

StatelessNo

Retry LogicNot documented

ConcurrencySingle-threaded

Production Tip

Implement rate limiting and monitoring to prevent excessive API usage and unexpected costs.

FAQ

What is the purpose of the `response_id` parameter?

The `response_id` parameter is used to maintain conversation state with the OpenAI Responses API, allowing ChatGPT to remember previous interactions.

How do I configure the ChatGPT model and other parameters?

You can configure the model, temperature, and max_tokens parameters in the Claude Desktop config file or by setting environment variables.

What are the limitations of the web search tool?

The web search tool is limited by the capabilities of the underlying search engine and the accuracy of the information retrieved. It may also be subject to rate limits and usage restrictions.

How can I monitor the API usage and costs?

You can monitor API usage and costs through the OpenAI platform's dashboard.

What happens if the OpenAI API key is compromised?

If the OpenAI API key is compromised, unauthorized users may be able to access the ChatGPT API and incur costs. It is important to protect the API key and monitor usage for any suspicious activity.

Is this server suitable for production use?

This server is primarily intended for prototyping and experimentation. For production use, consider implementing additional security measures, monitoring, and error handling.

Can I use this server with other MCP clients besides Claude Desktop?

While primarily designed for Claude Desktop, it may be compatible with other MCP clients, but this is untested and not officially supported.
