Connect ChatGPT to the FinologeeBKO MCP server as a custom connector
Introduction
ChatGPT connects to the FinologeeBKO MCP server as a custom connector, letting you drive the platform through natural-language interaction. ChatGPT acts under your existing FinologeeBKO rights and follows the same signatory-rule approvals that apply elsewhere on the platform.
Prerequisites
Before connecting, make sure you have:
- The MCP server enabled for your tenant. Contact [email protected] to request it.
- Your MCP endpoint URL and OAuth client ID. See MCP server for where to find these.
- A ChatGPT plan that supports custom connectors.
Connecting the connector
Add the MCP server as a custom connector in ChatGPT:
- Set the MCP server URL to your endpoint URL, for example
https://<your-tenant-host>/mcp - Set the OAuth Client ID to your client ID
- Leave the Client secret empty
- Set the Token endpoint auth method to
none
Set the token endpoint auth methodIf the token endpoint auth method is left at its default, ChatGPT fails to create the connector with the error "Error creating connector: Client secret is required". Setting it to
noneresolves this, because the FinologeeBKO client is public and requires no secret.
Authenticating
Save the connector and connect. A browser opens at the FinologeeBKO login page. Sign in with your credentials. The connector turns to connected and its bko__* tools become available.
Verifying the connection
Confirm the connection is working:
- Check that tools appear namespaced
bko__<domain>__<verb>, for example:bko__cash_account__find_cash_accountsbko__counterparty__get_counterpartiesbko__credit_transfer__create
- Ask ChatGPT something that uses a tool, such as "list cash accounts", and confirm the tool runs.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Error creating connector: Client secret is required | The token endpoint auth method is at its default. Set it to none. |
| Browser redirect or callback is rejected | The redirect URI is not registered for your client. Contact [email protected]. |
| Tools are missing, or a tool call is denied after connecting | Your account lacks the FinologeeBKO rights required for that action. Each tool requires its own permission. Review your permissions with your administrator. |
