MCP Configuration in Spinach AI allows you to connect your Spinach account to external applications like ChatGPT and developer IDEs (such as Cursor and VS Code). This integration enables secure querying of insights and context from your last 100 Spinach meetings directly within these tools. Source
To connect Spinach AI to ChatGPT, a workspace admin must first enable custom connectors in ChatGPT settings. Then, each user can create and configure their own Spinach connector by providing the MCP Server URL (https://mcp.spinach.ai/mcp) and selecting OAuth authentication. After setup, authorize the connection when prompted. Source
The workspace admin must log in to ChatGPT, go to Settings, navigate to the Connectors section, and turn on the "Custom connectors" toggle. This is a one-time setting that allows users in the workspace to create their own Spinach connectors. Source
After your admin enables custom connectors, go to your ChatGPT settings, select the Connectors tab, click Create, and fill in the details: Name (Spinach AI), MCP Server URL (https://mcp.spinach.ai/mcp), and select OAuth. Authorize the connection when prompted. Source
For IDEs, edit your local mcp.json configuration file. For Cursor, go to Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and add a new MCP Server. For VS Code, use the command MCP: Open User Configuration. Add the Spinach server configuration: { "url": "https://mcp.spinach.ai/mcp" }. Save and authorize the connection when prompted. Source

Want to access insights and context from your recent Spinach meetings directly within your favorite AI tools? Our new integration makes this possible, allowing connected applications to securely query the content of your last 100 Spinach meetings.
This guide provides specific instructions for connecting Spinach to ChatGPT and to developer IDEs like Cursor and VS Code. The connection is handled with a secure, simple OAuth flow, giving you full control to manage and revoke access at any time.
Connecting to ChatGPT is a two-part process. First, a workspace admin must enable the ability for users to create their own custom connectors. Then, each user can create and connect their own Spinach connector.
This is a one-time setting that a ChatGPT workspace owner or admin must configure.
Log in to ChatGPT.
Click on your workspace name in the top-left corner and select Settings.
Navigate to the Connectors section.
Find the toggle labeled Custom connectors and ensure it is turned On.
Once this is enabled, all users in your workspace will have the ability to create their own custom connectors by following the steps below.
After your admin has enabled the feature, you can create your own personal connector.
Navigate to Your ChatGPT Settings: Click on your name in the bottom-left corner and go to Settings.
Go to Connectors: In the settings menu, click on the Connectors tab.
Create a New Connector: Click the Create button in the top right.
Configure the Spinach Connector: A "New Connector" form will appear. Fill in the details exactly as follows:
Name: Spinach AI
Description (Optional): Access context from your last 100 Spinach meetings.
MCP Server URL: https://mcp.spinach.ai/mcp
Authentication: Select OAuth from the dropdown.
Acknowledge the security notice and click Create.
Authorize the Connection:
Start a new chat and use the Spinach connector for the first time (@spinach What was discussed in my last meeting?).
ChatGPT will prompt you to sign in. Click the button, log in with your Spinach account, and click "Allow."

Notes:
1. MCP is only available to paying ChatGPT customers
2. When connecting to ChatGPT, there is still currently no approval or store for MCP's so it will require you to accept the risks associated
3. Chatgpt will require you to use developer mode when using custom connectors
4. Chatgpt implementation is still very new and you may experience things such as slow connection, Chatgpt not calling the MCP appropriately, or hallucinations that ChatGPT can have after receiving the information from the MCP. This should get better with time
To get the best results from the Spinach connector, follow these tips:
Be Specific in Your Prompts: Instead of asking, "What did we talk about?", ask, "@spinach summarize the key decisions made about the 'Q4 roadmap' in our meetings last week." The more specific you are with names, projects, and dates, the better the results.
Use Action-Oriented Language: Start your prompts with clear verbs.
"@spinach list the action items assigned to me regarding the 'user authentication' feature."
"@spinach generate a list of engineering concerns raised about the 'database migration'."
"@spinach find the original discussion where we decided on the 'new pricing model'."
Iterate and Refine: Start with a broad query and then ask follow-up questions to dig deeper.
@spinach What were the main topics from the last project sync?
Okay, for topic #3, what were the exact blockers that were mentioned?
Ask for Formatted Output: You can ask the AI to structure the information for you.
"@spinach summarize the discussion about our new marketing campaign and format it as a bulleted list of key takeaways."
For developer tools, the connection is made by editing a local JSON configuration file.
Find Your Tool's Configuration File:
For Cursor: Go to Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations, and click New MCP Server to open the mcp.json file.
For VS Code: Run the command MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette to open your mcp.json file.
Add the Spinach Server Configuration:
Add the following JSON object to the mcpServers configuration:
code JSON
downloadcontent_copy
expand_less
"spinach": { "url": "https://mcp.spinach.ai/mcp" }Authorize the Connection:
Save the file and return to the chat interface.
Call the Spinach tool (@spinach Test my connection).
Your IDE will open a browser window. Log in with your Spinach account and click "Allow."
You have full control over which applications can access your Spinach data. You can view, manage, and revoke access at any time from your Spinach dashboard.
Log in to your Spinach account.
Navigate to Settings > Integrations.
Scroll to the Authorized Applications section.
Here you will see a list of all the applications you have connected. For each connection, you can see when it was authorized, when it was last used, its current status, and the permissions it has.
To disconnect an application, simply click the Revoke button. Access will be terminated immediately.
Cannot Create Connector in ChatGPT: Check with your workspace admin to ensure they have enabled "Custom connectors" in the workspace settings.
IDE Connection Fails: Ensure the JSON in your mcp.json file is formatted correctly. A missing comma or bracket will cause it to fail. Try restarting your IDE to re-trigger the connection prompt.
Authorization Issues: If a tool is having trouble connecting, navigate to the Authorized Applications section in your Spinach settings, revoke access for that application, and then try the connection process again.
