ChatGPT is testing support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), which will allow it to connect to third-party services and use them as context. MCP is an open-source standard that allows developers to expose third-party data through MCP, so AI like ChatGPT could use it to finish tasks. For example, ChatGPT could connect to third-party apps like Gmail to access its information and use it in tasks to help you. MCP may not have a lot of use cases for consumers, but it could be a game-changer for enterprises, as it will allow businesses to connect their internal tools to ChatGPT and share data when required. As spotted by Tibor on X, ChatGPT is testing a new Connectors settings where you can click on Custom, and add a new tool. This allows ChatGPT to connect with your own apps or APIs.
