ChatGPT
Beta status
During the beta, FindIP officially supports the Claude connection only. This guide is provided for reference and this integration will be officially supported soon. For the smoothest experience right now, use Claude Desktop.
There are two ways to connect: (1) the Custom Connector (MCP) feature on Pro/Enterprise, or (2) a Custom GPT Action in GPT Builder that calls the REST API directly.
Prerequisites
A ChatGPT Pro/Team/Enterprise plan, or a Plus-or-higher account that can build Custom GPTs. The Action approach requires a FindIP API key.
Setup steps
Option 1 — Custom Connector (Pro/Enterprise, recommended)
ChatGPT bottom-left profile → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → register the URL below → sign in to FindIP from the OAuth popup.
https://mcp.findip.ai
Option 2 — Custom GPT Action (Plus or higher)
In GPT Builder, create a new GPT → Configure → Actions → Create new action → Authentication: API Key, Custom Header Name = X-API-Key → paste the OpenAPI schema below.

Sample prompt
Prompt
"Compare LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI's major Korean and US filings over the past 5 years on single-crystal synthesis processes for cathode materials in secondary batteries."
Troubleshooting
The Custom Connector menu is missing.
Plan-permissions issue. Upgrade to Pro or higher, or use the GPT Builder Action approach instead.
The Action returns 401 Unauthorized.
Confirm the API-key header is exactly X-API-Key, and verify the key is active in the dashboard.
