How to connect Neto to ChatGPT (and what about Plus)

Neto connects to the AI assistant you choose. With ChatGPT it is possible, but there is a limitation worth knowing before you start, and almost nobody mentions it.

How to connect Neto to ChatGPT (and what about Plus)
THE ESSENTIALS

ChatGPT can connect to Neto, but with a limitation worth knowing before you try. According to OpenAI's documentation, custom MCP server connections are available only to ChatGPT Business and Enterprise or Edu customers on the web, and only admins or owners can create them. On a Plus or Pro plan the option does not appear. If that is your case, Neto's connector does work today with Claude and with Grok. And if you have Business or Enterprise, it takes six steps.

First: check whether your plan allows it

OpenAI's documentation says it plainly: custom MCP server connections "are available for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise/Edu customers on ChatGPT web". And within those plans, only admins and owners can create and publish them; on Enterprise and Edu an admin can also grant that permission to specific members.

In plain words:

  • ChatGPT Business or Enterprise or Edu, as an admin or with permission: yes, and the six steps are below.
  • ChatGPT Plus, Pro or free: today, no. The option does not appear; it is not hidden somewhere.

If you are in the second group, it is not a dead end: Neto's connector is the same for every assistant and it works today with Claude and with Grok, both with their own guide and neither needing a business plan. With Grok, connectors are available to all users.

This changes often, so if you are reading months later, it is worth checking the help page we link at the end.

Before you start

  • Neto Pro. The connector is a paid feature and it is checked when you connect.
  • ChatGPT Business or Enterprise or Edu, on the web.
  • Being an admin or owner of the workspace, or holding the "Create plugins with MCPs" permission.

And the connector address, the only official one:

https://api.netoapp.es/api/mcp

The 6 steps

1. Open your menu and go to Settings. From ChatGPT on the web.

2. Go to "Plugins". This is where ChatGPT keeps connections. You do not need to turn on any developer mode first: in the current experience you add it directly from there.

3. Press the plus button and choose "Add custom MCP server".

4. Give it a name, paste Neto's address and accept the warning. The name is for you, "Neto" will do. Under Connection goes the address above, and then you tick the "I understand and want to continue" box, which is the risk warning ChatGPT shows for any server you add yourself.

5. Sign in with your Neto account and accept. You can sign in with your email and password, or ask for a six digit code by email. Then you will see the permissions screen, which tells you exactly what it will be able to do.

6. Done. Press "Create as a plugin" and ChatGPT shows you the tools it found. To use it, type an at sign in the chat and pick Neto.

What the permissions screen says

It lists what ChatGPT will be able to do (see your expenses, income and summaries; see your categories, budgets and recurring expenses; and manage that data if you grant that permission) and what it will never be able to do:

  • delete your Neto account or wipe your data
  • change your password or your sign-in details
  • connect to your bank, because Neto never does.

For actions that write, ChatGPT asks for confirmation in the conversation before running them.

What to try first

  • "How much have I spent this month?"
  • "Which category is taking most of my money?"
  • "Log 9.80 for coffee today."

And one worth making a habit before asking for bigger changes: "show me the list before you change anything".

If something goes wrong

"Add custom MCP server" does not appear. It is almost always the plan. That option does not exist on Plus or Pro. And on Business or Enterprise, if you are not an admin, your workspace has to have granted you the permission.

It cannot connect. Check the address is pasted in full, with no spaces and no trailing slash.

It asks you to pay when you sign in. The connector is a Neto Pro feature. If your subscription is on another account, sign in with that one.

It stopped working after a while. OpenAI warns that if the server does not issue refresh tokens you have to authorise again when the first one expires. Neto does issue them and advertises it in its metadata, so the connection renews itself until it expires after 90 days.

How to disconnect it

In two ways:

  • From ChatGPT, in the same Plugins section.
  • From Neto, in Settings → Connections, where you can also see the connector's activity.

The cut-off is immediate. Anything ChatGPT already received stays in your conversation with it: if you want it gone, delete that conversation.

And if you get it wrong

Every change ChatGPT makes in your account can be undone for 30 days, and you have the log of what it did for 90. Just ask: "what did you change today?".

Frequently asked questions

Can I connect Neto to ChatGPT on Plus?

Not today. According to OpenAI, custom MCP connectors are for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise or Edu. On Plus, Pro or free the option does not appear. Neto's connector does work with Claude and with Grok.

Why does it work with Grok or Claude but not ChatGPT?

Because each assistant decides which plans get custom connectors. Neto's connector is the same for all of them: the difference is on the assistant's side, not Neto's.

Do I need to turn on developer mode?

No. In the current Plugins experience you add it directly, accepting the risk warning for each server.

Can ChatGPT see my passwords or get into my bank?

No. It cannot see or change your password, and Neto does not connect to any bank, so there is no bank access to give.

Will this change?

It might. OpenAI has moved where connectors live, and which plans get them, more than once. The help page linked above is the source that counts.
