GoodBarber MCP

Connect ChatGPT and Codex to your GoodBarber app

GoodBarber speaks MCP, the open standard for AI assistants. Plug in ChatGPT or OpenAI Codex and run your app in plain language — products, content, members, push.

GoodBarber has its own MCP server. Both OpenAI Codex and ChatGPT connect to it natively — no plugin, no code. Set it up once with your GoodBarber account, then drive your app from the assistant you already use.

For developers

Codex

The OpenAI Codex app is a full MCP client. Add GoodBarber once in its settings and it stays available across your projects.

A GoodBarber app

  • An active GoodBarber app
  • Admin access to the app you want to connect

The Codex app

  • The OpenAI Codex app installed on your computer
  • A signed-in OpenAI account

  1. Open MCP servers in Codex

    In the Codex app, go to Settings, then Integrations, then MCP servers.

  2. Add a custom MCP

    Click Connect to a custom MCP to open the connection form.

  3. Name the connector

    Enter GoodBarber in the Name field.

  4. Choose Streamable HTTP

    For Transport, select Streamable HTTP (not STDIO).

  5. Paste the server URL

    https://mcp.goodbarber.dev/mcp/sse

  6. Leave the Bearer token empty

    Do not fill in the Bearer token field. Leaving it blank is what triggers the secure sign-in step.

  7. Save

    Click Save. Codex opens your browser to authorize the connection.

  8. Authorize GoodBarber

    Sign in to GoodBarber and approve access. You are sent back to Codex, connected.

  9. You are connected

    GoodBarber's tools are now available in Codex. Ask it to manage your app in plain language.

Heads up: the Bearer token field must stay empty. If you paste a token there, Codex skips the GoodBarber sign-in and the connection will not authorize.

For everyone

ChatGPT (desktop & web)

ChatGPT connects to GoodBarber through its Developer mode connectors. Set it up once in your account and it works in both the desktop app and on the web.

A GoodBarber app

  • An active GoodBarber app
  • Admin access to the app you want to connect

ChatGPT with Developer mode

  • A ChatGPT account — the free plan works
  • Developer mode turned on in settings

  1. Turn on Developer mode

    In ChatGPT, go to Settings, then Apps & Connectors, then Advanced settings, and switch on Developer mode.

  2. Create a connector

    Back in Apps & Connectors, click Create to add a custom MCP server.

  3. Name the connector

    Enter GoodBarber in the Name field.

  4. Paste the server URL

    https://mcp.goodbarber.dev/mcp/sse

  5. Choose OAuth

    Set authentication to OAuth so ChatGPT signs you in to GoodBarber securely.

  6. Create and sign in

    Confirm, then sign in to GoodBarber and approve access.

  7. Use it in a chat

    In any chat, open the + menu, enable the GoodBarber connector, and start asking.

Developer mode is a beta feature, so the screens may change over time, and write actions ask you to confirm before they run.

What you can do with it

Plain-language requests; GoodBarber does the work in your app. A few things our team ran while testing:

Content

Create a published article titled Spring Sale announcing 20% off the whole catalog until June 30.

Created and published the article, with the 20% off announcement.

Push notifications

Send a push to all my customers to announce the spring sale.

Created the push and queued it for broadcast, after you approved the wording.

Prefer a Custom GPT?

You can also connect GoodBarber through a Custom GPT with Actions — a different route from MCP, handy when you would rather share a ready-made assistant with your team. We will link the GoodBarber GPT here once it is live in the GPT Store.

Good to know

A few honest limits before you start.

Codex uses Streamable HTTP

In Codex, pick the Streamable HTTP transport — the setup steps above use the right option.

Available actions depend on your plan

Which GoodBarber actions the assistant can run depends on your GoodBarber plan and your admin rights.

ChatGPT Developer mode is in beta

Developer mode is a beta feature in ChatGPT; availability and behavior can change, so it is worth a quick check on OpenAI's side.

You stay in control

Write actions ask for your confirmation before they run, and you can revoke access at any time.

Your app stays yours

Connecting an assistant does not hand over the keys.

Secure sign-in

You connect through OAuth: you sign in to GoodBarber and approve access. No password or token is shared with the assistant.

Scoped to your rights

The assistant can only do what your own GoodBarber account already allows — nothing more.

Revoke anytime

Disconnect GoodBarber from Codex or ChatGPT whenever you want; access ends immediately.

Privacy by design

GoodBarber keeps its privacy commitments for every connection. See our privacy policy.
