No API key required. The Terminal49 MCP server supports OAuth 2.1. When you connect, ChatGPT opens a browser sign-in page. Log in with your Terminal49 credentials to finish.
Install Terminal49 from the Plugins Directory
Terminal49 is an approved plugin in the ChatGPT Plugins Directory. Installing it from the directory needs no Developer mode and no manual server URL.1
Open the Terminal49 listing
Go to the Terminal49 plugin in ChatGPT, or open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar and search for
Terminal49.2
Install the plugin
Select Install plugin. On Business, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces, an admin may need to enable the plugin for the workspace first.
3
Sign in to Terminal49
When prompted to connect, ChatGPT opens the Terminal49 sign-in page in your browser. Log in and approve access to the account you want to use.
4
Use it in a chat
In a new chat, select Terminal49 from the tools menu or type
@Terminal49, then ask:“Using Terminal49, search for container CAIU1234567 and summarize its status.”
Use a custom connector instead
If your workspace blocks directory plugins, add the server yourself with Developer mode. This requires a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu); free accounts cannot add custom connectors.1
Enable Developer mode
In ChatGPT, open Settings, find the connectors section (labeled Connectors or Apps, depending on your version), open Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode.
2
Create the connector
In the same connectors section, select Create (or Add custom connector). Then enter:
3
Sign in to Terminal49
Save the connector. ChatGPT opens the Terminal49 sign-in page in your browser. Log in with your Terminal49 account and approve access.
OpenAI has moved the Developer mode toggle between settings sections over time. If you don’t see it under the connectors section, check Settings → Security (or search the OpenAI Help Center for “developer mode”).
Test your connection
Ask ChatGPT:“List the tools available in the Terminal49 MCP server and what they’re for.”It should list tools such as
search_container, track_container, and get_container. See the tools reference for the full list, and Test Numbers for containers you can use during development.
