ShareThis MCP for ChatGPT
Add ShareThis as a custom app in ChatGPT and manage properties, apps, and sharing insights without leaving the conversation. OAuth-secured, live against the ShareThis API.
Where to find it: ChatGPT settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Create app. Available on Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans.
Connect ChatGPT
3 steps, about a minute
No SDK, no API keys. Just the server URL and a one-time OAuth approval.
1
Create a custom app
In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps → Advanced settings and click “Create app.” Name it “ShareThis” so it’s easy to spot in your apps list. Available on Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans.
2
Paste the MCP server URL
Enter https://mcp.sharethis.com as the server URL. ChatGPT detects the remote MCP server and its nine tools automatically — no keys to copy.
3
Authorize and start using it
Approve access through the ShareThis OAuth flow, then enable the app in any chat and ask in plain English. Your assistant gets scoped access and never sees a raw token.

Copy the server URL
ChatGPT only needs the remote MCP server URL — it handles discovery and OAuth for you. For programmatic or developer-mode setups, use the JSON snippet.
- Transport: remote (HTTP + SSE)
- Auth: OAuth 2.0, scoped to your account
- Tools discovered: 9

Questions about ChatGPT setup
Custom MCP apps are available on ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise. On Team and Enterprise, a workspace admin may need to enable apps before they appear in your settings.
No. The ShareThis MCP uses OAuth — you authorize once from inside ChatGPT and the app manages tokens for you. There are no API keys to generate, copy, or rotate, and nothing to paste into ChatGPT.
Yes. Connecting ShareThis to ChatGPT is free with your ShareThis account. ShareThis platform accounts are always free and the app itself adds no cost.
Once connected, ChatGPT can create and validate properties and configure apps like Inline & Sticky Share Buttons, Reactions, and the GDPR CMP — all scoped to your authorized ShareThis account. It can only use the tools you grant and never touches anything outside them.
Yes. Every action runs against the live ShareThis API in real time, so changes you approve take effect immediately. There is no staging or sandbox copy to sync, and you can preview a live view of any app before sharing it.
