1. Add the MCP server
Follow the official ChatGPT app guide to create a new app in your ChatGPT settings:
- Open ChatGPT Settings
- Go to Apps & Connectors
- Click Create app to register a new MCP server
- Enter the server URL:
https://mcp.agentcentral.to/mcp
- Configure authentication with your API key (starts with
ac_live_) - Give it a label (e.g.
agentcentral) and save
2. Verify the connection
Start a new chat and ask ChatGPT to list the available agentcentral tools. If the connection is working, you will see tools across advertising, inventory, finance, catalog, ranking, and fulfillment domains.
“What tools do you have from agentcentral?”
Tool approval
By default, ChatGPT asks for approval the first time it calls each MCP tool. After you approve a tool once, subsequent calls to the same tool proceed automatically.
agentcentral also enforces its own guardrails on write tools: a $100 max bid cap, $0.02 minimum, and a warning when changes exceed 500% of the current value.
Troubleshooting
“Unauthorized” or 401 errors
Double-check your API key. You can find your key prefix in the dashboard. If you lost the full key, create a new one from the Keys tab.
Tools not appearing
Make sure the server URL is exactly https://mcp.agentcentral.to/mcp and your authentication is configured correctly. Try starting a new chat after adding the server.
MCP option not available
MCP server connections require a ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Education plan. Free accounts do not have access to Apps & Connectors.
Slow responses
agentcentral queries pre-materialized BigQuery tables, so most responses return in under a second. If you see timeouts, check your network connectivity.
Start using tools
Try these examples:
Advertising

Inventory
“What’s my current FBA inventory for ASIN B0EXAMPLE?”
“Which SKUs have fewer than 14 days of cover?”
“Show me today’s sales so far.”
