Why can't I connect my ChatGPT account to Votel's MCP server?

Check these in order:

  1. Your ChatGPT plan. The free plan does not allow MCP. Paid plans (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise) should work.
  2. Developer mode. ChatGPT sometimes needs developer mode turned on to reach remote MCP servers. Look for it in ChatGPT's settings (it has been under Settings, then Security) and turn it on.
  3. If it still does not connect, contact support and we will look at it with you.

ChatGPT changes these settings often, so the exact menu names may differ from the steps above.
