Use Nimt inside a ChatGPT conversation to find projects and read their context. You do not need Codex, a terminal, or an API key.
Nimt MCP is in pre-release. Follow this guide only after Nimt has confirmed access for you. This guide uses a custom connection, not a public Nimt directory listing.

Before you start

  • Sign in to ChatGPT on the web and to the Nimt account you want to connect.
  • OpenAI currently lists developer mode for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education accounts. Free accounts are not listed as eligible.
  • For a managed workspace, your administrator may need to enable or publish custom connections. Ask them if the relevant controls are missing.
OpenAI changes labels and availability over time. The steps below use the current Plugins and Security and login interface; some accounts may still show Apps or Connectors. See OpenAI’s developer mode guide for current requirements. ChatGPT’s plan is separate from your Nimt account.

Add Nimt

1

Enable custom connections

Open ChatGPT’s Settings → Security and login and enable Developer mode. Read the warning: this permits unverified connections, so only add servers you trust. Do not disable other security controls to connect Nimt.

2

Create the connection

Open Plugins, choose the + action to create a developer-mode connection, and use these details:Let ChatGPT discover the OAuth configuration. Nimt supports client metadata documents and dynamic registration; you do not need to create or paste an OAuth client secret. Do not select No authentication for Nimt.
3

Sign in and choose a workspace

Follow the Nimt sign-in flow. Review the requesting application, choose the workspace you want ChatGPT to access, and read the requested permissions. Choose Allow access only if they match your intent, then return to ChatGPT.The approval stays tied to this workspace even if you switch workspaces in the Nimt app later.
4

Enable Nimt in a conversation

Open a new conversation. Use the + menu, choose Developer mode, and select Nimt. A saved connection may appear under Drafts until it is published within a managed workspace.

Ask your first question

Use Nimt to list the projects in my connected workspace.
Choose a returned project, then ask:
Use Nimt to show this project’s tracked models, active prompt count, and available data range.
Check ChatGPT’s tool activity to confirm it used Nimt. The current actions are Workspace list projects and Project get metadata. Both read data; neither changes your project. See example questions for more ideas.

Refresh or disconnect

Open Nimt in ChatGPT’s installed plugin settings. Use Refresh if its tool list is outdated, then start a new conversation and select Nimt again. To revoke Nimt access, open Connected apps in Nimt and disconnect the ChatGPT approval for the relevant workspace. Removing Nimt from a conversation does not revoke its credentials or delete data already shared with ChatGPT. See OAuth access.

If something goes wrong

  • No create or developer-mode option: check your ChatGPT plan, account, workspace policy, and whether you are using the web interface.
  • Cannot fetch tools: confirm the exact server URL and complete OAuth. Refresh the connection after signing in.
  • ChatGPT answers without Nimt: select Nimt for the conversation and explicitly say “Use Nimt.” It cannot answer report or citation questions through tools that are not available yet.
  • Wrong projects: the approval is bound to one workspace. Reauthorize for the intended workspace; changing the active workspace in Nimt is not enough.
For other errors, use troubleshooting. Review authentication and access before sharing workspace data with an AI service.
