Connect Wonda to ChatGPT

Add Wonda as a custom MCP server in ChatGPT so it can act through your social personas.


What you get

ChatGPT gets Wonda's cloud twin: reading feeds, search results, profiles, analytics, and inboxes across LinkedIn, X, Reddit, and Instagram, plus approved writes such as posting, commenting, connecting, messaging, and running bounded campaigns.

You do not need the Wonda CLI, a local browser, or an API key pasted into ChatGPT.

Turn on Developer mode first

Open Settings, then Security and login, and enable Developer mode.

Developer mode and full MCP support are a Business and Enterprise/Edu capability on ChatGPT web, enabled by a workspace admin (Enterprise/Edu can scope it per user). Consumer Plus and Pro do not have it, so if you are on one of those plans you cannot add a server here - use Claude or Codex, or call the API directly.

Do this before anything else: the Plugins page has no way to add a server until Developer mode is on.

Add the server

Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and:

  1. Click + and name it Wonda.

  2. Set Connection to Server URL and paste this into the URL field:

    https://api.wondercat.ai/mcp
  3. Leave Authentication on OAuth, tick I understand and want to continue, and create it.

  4. ChatGPT asks you to sign in to Wonda and approve access. Done once, works forever.

Your Wonda API key stays inside Wonda and is never shown to ChatGPT. The grant is OAuth against the Wonda MCP resource at https://api.wondercat.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp.

Verify

Ask ChatGPT:

Use Wonda to tell me which personas I have.

If it lists your personas, the connector works. If it reports none, connect a persona first - see Personas and Sessions.

Where actions run

ChatGPT cannot load a local MCP server, so the connector itself is remote. That does not mean every action runs in the cloud: the remote server calls the same twin action endpoints as everything else, and those follow your account's engine policy. Under the default auto, an action runs in the Wonda Automation Browser on your machine whenever the Wonda app is online, and only falls back to the hosted twin otherwise.

If you need a persona's writes to come from the hosted residential or mobile IP rather than your own connection, set the engine policy to cloud - see Routing. Assuming "remote connector" means "hosted IP" is exactly the mistake worth avoiding.

Approvals

Read tools are labelled safe to allow broadly. Write tools request server-side write slots and should stay ask-first unless you want a hands-off loop.

The approval setting in ChatGPT is a client-side prompt. Wonda still enforces the action gate, write-slot allowance, daily caps, cooldowns, account status, and safety checks server-side, so allowing a tool does not raise those limits.

Team and Enterprise

An admin enables Developer mode and may need to approve the server before members can use it. Add Wonda once, complete the OAuth grant, and approve it for the workspace.

The OAuth grant binds your Wonda account, not an organization: the consent screen has no organization chooser, and the connector does not send the X-Wonda-Org header that selects an organization seat, entitlement, or wallet. Actions therefore run against your personal context. Use the CLI or the web app when work must be billed to an organization.
