FAQ from MCP ChatGPT Server

How does this server maintain conversation state?

It uses OpenAI’s Responses API, which automatically manages conversation history on OpenAI’s servers, simplifying code and providing reliable context tracking.

What are the prerequisites for using this server?

Python 3.10 or higher, the Claude Desktop app, an OpenAI API key, and the uv package manager are required.

How do I configure the server with Claude Desktop?

Add the provided JSON configuration to your Claude Desktop config file, specifying the server command, directory, and environment variables (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY, DEFAULT_MODEL, DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE, MAX_TOKENS), then restart Claude Desktop.

What tools does the server provide?

Two tools: ask_chatgpt(prompt, model, temperature, max_output_tokens, response_id) for standard prompts, and ask_chatgpt_with_web_search(…) for prompts that include web search to retrieve current information.

Where does conversation data live?

Conversation state is stored on OpenAI’s servers via the Responses API, not locally on the user’s machine.
