Valency Bond™ works with ChatGPT (opens in new tab) in the browser over MCP using OAuth. Adding Valency as a custom connector brings the MCP connection in one step.

Open ChatGPT's Security and login settings (opens in new tab), or navigate there manually: in ChatGPT, open Settings, then Security and login
Scroll down and toggle on Developer mode
Open this link (opens in new tab) to go straight to the connector form, or navigate there manually: close Settings, then open Plugins and press +
Enter the name:
```
Valency
```
Enter the description:

Check "I understand and want to continue", then click Create
After a few seconds, a sign-in window appears. Sign in with Google or email

A Valency account is created automatically the first time you sign in. The email you use does not have to match the email on your ChatGPT account.

Setting up the connection can take a few seconds, and it occasionally times out. If the sign-in pop-up doesn't appear, or the connection fails, just try again. We're actively improving this.
In the composer, click the tools menu and enable Valency
