# Connect ChatGPT to Zas

> Set up the Zas connection, approve selected channels, and verify your first send.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Prepare your Zas account">
    Open [Zas connections](https://zas.red/ai/connect) and sign in. Choose or create a channel in Zas for your AI work. For organization channels, an administrator must first [enable AI access](/en/ai/enterprise).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the custom connection">
    Open [ChatGPT Plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins). Select **Personal → Add → Add custom MCP server**. Enter:

    | Field | Value |
    | - | - |
    | Name | Zas |
    | Server URL | `https://zas.red/mcp` |
    | Authentication | OAuth |

    Under **Advanced OAuth settings**, choose **User-Defined OAuth Client**.

    | Field | Value |
    | - | - |
    | Client ID | `zas-chatgpt-hosted-pilot` |
    | Client secret | Leave empty |
    | Token endpoint auth method | `none` |

    Accept the custom-connection notice and select **Create as a plugin**. Install it and sign in when prompted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what ChatGPT can use">
    Zas opens an approval page. Confirm the account, choose the channels, and enable **Read**, **Send**, or both. Review the hosted-access and renewal confirmations, then select **Approve connection**.

    For sending original files, enable both **Read and Send**. A note can be sent with Send alone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Try it in a conversation">
    Type **@Zas** and select the Zas connection. Ask:

    > Which Zas channels can you use, and can you read or send in each one?

    Then name an approved channel:

    > Save a note titled “First connection” to my “Research” channel in Zas with the text “Connected from ChatGPT.”

    Open the channel in Zas and check the note. A successful send includes a saved item ID; preparing an upload is not a completed send.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The [illustrated setup guide](https://zas.red/ai/connect) shows the controls. Labels and availability can vary by ChatGPT workspace. If the custom MCP option is missing, check your plan and workspace permissions.

<Tip>
  For an existing connection named “Zas Pilot”, select that installed connection when testing. Its display name does not determine which Zas channels it can access.
</Tip>

## If ChatGPT offers Slack

Select **@Zas** explicitly and ask it to list your approved Zas channels. Zas has its own connection; installing Slack does not connect it. If Zas is absent, finish setup or enable it in the current conversation.
