# ChatGPT

> Install the Runchat plugin in ChatGPT so it can build, run, and edit your workflows, then set its permissions so every tool works.

The Runchat plugin connects ChatGPT to your Runchat account over [MCP](https://docs.runchat.com/concepts/integrations/mcp.md). ChatGPT can then list and create workflows, build and connect nodes, run them, and drive Rhino, Grasshopper, and Blender through your [desktop plugins](https://docs.runchat.com/concepts/integrations/mcp.md#using-the-mcp-with-rhino-and-grasshopper).

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Set permissions after installing.** By default ChatGPT only allows
> low-risk tools, and may silently deny tools that create, edit, or run
> workflows. Follow [Set permissions](#set-permissions) below, or ChatGPT will
> read your workflows but fail at basic tasks like making a workflow or
> running nodes.

## Install the plugin

**1. Find Runchat in the Plugins directory**

In ChatGPT, click **Plugins** in the left sidebar and search for **Runchat**.

**2. Add it and sign in**

Open Runchat from the results and add it. A browser window opens. Sign in to Runchat and approve access on the consent screen.

## Set permissions

**1. Open the plugin's settings**

Open the Runchat plugin page and click **Manage**. You can also go to **Settings → Plugins → Runchat**.

**2. Allow all tools**

Click the **Permission** row, then choose **Allow all tools**.

![ChatGPT's plugin permission options: Always ask, Allow read-only tools, Allow low-risk tools (Default), and Allow all tools](https://mintcdn.com/runchat/775X16AxQVzsWK9H/images/integrations/chatgpt-plugin-permissions.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=775X16AxQVzsWK9H\&q=85\&s=70fb1b09cea32e502374a22d4e6b52b4)

If you'd rather approve each change yourself, choose **Always ask** instead. ChatGPT will then ask before every tool call, but it won't deny any of them outright.

**3. Try it**

Start a new chat and ask *"list my runchats"* or *"make me a Runchat workflow that generates three logo ideas"*.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Running nodes spends your Runchat credits, so the agent will check with you
> before running anything that costs money.

## Troubleshooting

> [accordion] ChatGPT says it can't create workflows or run nodes
>
> Your plugin permission is probably still on the default **Allow low-risk tools**. Change it to **Allow all tools** (or **Always ask**) as described in [Set permissions](#set-permissions), then start a new chat.

> [accordion] I signed into the wrong Runchat account
>
> In **Settings → Plugins → Runchat**, remove the connected account, sign out of Runchat in your browser, then connect again with the account you want.

> [accordion] ChatGPT can't see a specific workflow
>
> The agent can only reach workflows you own or that are shared with your team. Paste the workflow's URL into the chat, or open the workflow, choose **Copy ID** from the title menu (the workflow name, top-left), and paste that.
