Connect ChatGPT to the Terminal49 MCP server so it can answer questions with live container and shipment tracking data.
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 and you’re done.

​
Prerequisites

  • A paid ChatGPT plan. Custom MCP connectors require Developer mode, available on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. Free accounts cannot add custom connectors.
  • On Business, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces, an admin may need to enable Developer mode or approve the connector for the workspace.

​
Add the connector

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, click Create (or Add custom connector). You can also open the create-connector screen directly. 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.
4

Use it in a chat

In a new chat, enable the Terminal49 connector from the tools menu (with Developer mode active), then ask:
“Using Terminal49, search for container CAIU1234567 and summarize its status.”
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.
