ChatGPT

OAuth Required

Connect FeedNest to ChatGPT via Web UI (OAuth) or Responses API (Bearer token).

Prerequisites

Option A: Connect via ChatGPT Web UI

The recommended way to connect FeedNest. ChatGPT handles the OAuth flow automatically — no API key needed.

  1. 1

    Enable Developer Mode

    ChatGPT Developer Mode is available for Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise, and Education plans. Go to Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced and enable Developer Mode.

  2. 2

    Create a connector

    Go to Settings → Apps → Create. Name it FeedNest and set the URL to https://mcp.feednest.com.

  3. 3

    Log in and authorize

    ChatGPT will redirect you to FeedNest. Log in with your account and allow access on the consent screen.

  4. 4

    Start chatting

    Ask ChatGPT something like "Show me my unread articles from today".

Pro subscription required

API and MCP access requires a FeedNest Pro subscription. You can manage connected apps in Settings → Connected Apps.

Option B: Via Responses API

For programmatic access using the OpenAI Responses API. Uses a Bearer token (API key) instead of OAuth.

  1. 1

    Generate an API key

    Go to Settings → API Keys and create a new key.

  2. 2

    Use the MCP tool configuration

    Include the FeedNest server in your Responses API tool list. Replace fn_live_... with your API key.

Responses API tool configuration

Include in the tools array of your Responses API request

{
  "type": "mcp",
  "server_url": "https://mcp.feednest.com",
  "server_label": "feednest",
  "authorization": "fn_live_..."
}

Verify your connection

After setup, try one of these prompts to confirm everything is working:

  • →“What are my unread articles?”
  • →“Summarize my latest saved articles”
  • →“How many feeds am I subscribed to?”

Troubleshooting

OAuth redirect error

Make sure you're logged in to FeedNest with a Pro subscription. If the authorization expired, go back to ChatGPT and try connecting again.

Responses API returns 401

Ensure your API key is passed in the 'authorization' field (not 'headers'). The format is a bare key value, not 'Bearer fn_live_...'.

'Insufficient scope' error

Your FeedNest account may have been downgraded from Pro. Upgrade your subscription and reconnect.
