## Introduction

### How to connect AI Ark MCP with ChatGPT
[ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours, and turn a goal into finished materials like sheets, slides, and docs, not just answers.
In this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your AI Ark account to ChatGPT via Composio Connect, so it can search people, find companies, enrich contacts, and surface recruiting insights through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

## Also integrate AI Ark with

- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ai_ark/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ai_ark/framework/hermes-agent)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/ai_ark/framework/atomic-agent)

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's AI Ark integration lets ChatGPT take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
- 1,500+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across multiple apps in a single run - fetch a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post highlights to Slack without leaving the conversation.

## Connect AI Ark to ChatGPT

### Prerequisites
- A ChatGPT account. We will use the [ChatGPT desktop app](https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/), and the steps are the same on the web.
- Access to the AI Ark workspace you want to connect.
- [Composio plugin](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=chatgpt&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fchatgpt).
Note: Composio connects through OAuth. You will be asked to sign in and approve specific permissions. Review the permission screen carefully if you are using a work account.
### Step-by-step: Connect AI Ark to ChatGPT
### 1. Install the Composio plugin
Click the button. ChatGPT opens the Composio plugin page. Click Install plugin.

You can also find it inside ChatGPT: go to Settings, open Plugins, search the marketplace for Composio, and click Install plugin.
### 2. Authenticate
After you install, ChatGPT asks you to authenticate with Composio. Log in and click Allow access to authorize ChatGPT to use your Composio account.
### 3. Start using Composio
That is it. Composio tools are now available in ChatGPT. Type @Composio followed by your request, for example @Composio find unread AI Ark messages and summarize them, and it will run the actions you authorize. On first use it asks you to authorize AI Ark.
### Option 2: Add Composio as an MCP server
If you cannot use the plugin marketplace, add Composio as a custom MCP server instead.
### 1. Open the MCP settings
In ChatGPT, go to Settings and open the Plugins section. Inside the Plugins page, click the MCP tab.
### 2. Add the server
Click Add server. In the Name field enter Composio, for Type select Streamable HTTP, and in the URL field paste the Composio MCP server URL:

```

## What is the AI Ark MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The AI Ark MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your AI Ark account. It provides structured and secure access to people and company search, contact enrichment, recruiting intelligence, email finding, and export tools, so your agent can find prospects, research companies, enrich professional profiles, assess personality insights, and retrieve contact information on your behalf.
- People and company discovery: Have your agent search for people and companies using professional, employee, list, and lookalike filters.
- Profile enrichment: Let the agent enrich a person’s profile from a LinkedIn URL or AI Ark record, or look up a detailed professional profile by email address.
- Recruiting intelligence: Direct your agent to analyze a person’s DISC and OCEAN personality traits and generate selling or hiring outreach guidance from their LinkedIn profile.
- Contact information research: Instruct your agent to find candidate mobile phone numbers or start email finding for people discovered through AI Ark search.
- Export and job tracking: Have your agent start people exports, check email finder and export progress, retrieve available results, review submission history, and resend completion webhooks.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `AI_ARK_ANALYZE_PERSONALITY` | Analyze Personality | Infer DISC and OCEAN personality assessments plus selling and hiring outreach guidance from one person's LinkedIn profile. This costs 4 AI Ark credits per request and returns sensitive algorithmic inferences, not verified or objective facts. |
| `AI_ARK_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_LIST` | Create or Update List | Create or mutate a temporary people/company exclusion list for free. Lists expire after 24 hours, hold at most 10,000 values, and are limited to 50 new lists per day. APPEND merges values; REPLACE irreversibly overwrites the complete prior list. Omitting list_id creates a list, and an unknown list_id can also create new state. |
| `AI_ARK_ENRICH_PERSON_WITH_EMAIL` | Enrich Person with Email | Enrich one person by AI Ark person ID or LinkedIn URL with a full profile and provider email-verification metadata. This returns sensitive personal profile and email data and is an enrichment action, not a standalone email verifier. It costs 1 credit only when a valid email is found and 0 credits otherwise. |
| `AI_ARK_FIND_MOBILE_PHONE` | Find Mobile Phone | Find candidate mobile phone numbers for one person from a LinkedIn URL or from a company domain plus full name. A found result costs 5 AI Ark credits; a no-result response costs 0 credits. The response contains sensitive personal phone numbers ordered by provider confidence, and AI Ark does not document them as verified. |
| `AI_ARK_GET_CREDITS` | Get Credit Balance | Return the connected AI Ark account's remaining credit balance for free; this is the only action safe to use for credential validation. |
| `AI_ARK_GET_EMAIL_FINDER_STATUS` | Get Email Finder Status | Make one free status request for an email-finder job and return its state and total/found counts. This action does not poll internally or start another billable lookup; call it again only when another status check is needed. |
| `AI_ARK_GET_PEOPLE_EXPORT_STATUS` | Get People Export Status | Make one free status request for a bulk people-export job and return its state, total/found/success/failed counts, and webhook metadata. This action does not poll internally; call it again only when another status snapshot is needed. |
| `AI_ARK_LIST_EMAIL_FINDER_RESULTS` | List Email Finder Results | Return one free page of an email-finder job's results without waiting for completion. Entries still in PROCESSING state are preserved alongside completed entries. The response can contain sensitive personal email addresses, lookup inputs, and full provider verification and MX metadata. |
| `AI_ARK_LIST_EMAIL_FINDER_SUBMISSIONS` | List Email Finder Submissions | Return one free page of the connected AI Ark customer's email-finder submission history, including job states and refund details. The provider automatically scopes results to the authenticated API key; callers control filters, repeated sort criteria, and pagination, and this action makes one request without polling or automatic pagination. |
| `AI_ARK_LIST_PEOPLE_EXPORT_RESULTS` | List People Export Results | Return one free page of a completed bulk people export. The response contains sensitive full person and company profiles and personal emails with provider verification metadata. This action does not poll internally; a still-processing export returns 409, so check GET_PEOPLE_EXPORT_STATUS until its state is DONE before trying again. |
| `AI_ARK_LIST_PEOPLE_EXPORT_SUBMISSIONS` | List People Export Submissions | List the authenticated API token's own people-export submission and refund history for free. Results are automatically scoped to the caller's customer account and this action returns one explicitly selected page without polling. |
| `AI_ARK_LOOK_UP_PERSON_BY_EMAIL` | Look Up Person by Email | Identify and return a sensitive, detailed personal and employment profile from an email address. AI Ark charges 0.5 credits per request, including when no profile is found. This action does not verify the input email and does not return a mobile number. |
| `AI_ARK_PREVIEW_PEOPLE` | Preview People | Return one page of masked people and full company matches for 1 credit per page. The preview contains no email or phone data and its trackId is null, so it cannot start email finding. |
| `AI_ARK_RESEND_EMAIL_FINDER_WEBHOOK` | Resend Email Finder Webhook | Irreversibly resend one email-finder completion payload to a caller-selected public HTTPS webhook. This free action externally discloses sensitive verified personal emails, may target a different URL from the original submission, and must not be retried after an ambiguous outcome. Success is reported only when AI Ark explicitly confirms delivery. |
| `AI_ARK_RESEND_PEOPLE_EXPORT_WEBHOOK` | Resend People Export Webhook | Irreversibly resend one completed bulk people export to a caller-selected public HTTPS webhook. This free action externally discloses sensitive full profiles and verified personal emails, may target a different URL from the original submission, and must not be retried after an ambiguous outcome. Success is reported only when AI Ark explicitly confirms delivery. |
| `AI_ARK_SEARCH_COMPANIES` | Search Companies | Return one zero-based page of companies using typed company, employee, list, and lookalike filters. Each returned company costs 0.1 AI Ark credits. Lookalike search accepts 1-5 domains or LinkedIn company URLs, page must be 0 or greater, size must be 1-100, and the result set is capped at 10,000 matches. |
| `AI_ARK_SEARCH_PEOPLE` | Search People | Return one page of full people and company profiles. This search costs 0.5 credits per returned person and does not return email addresses or phone numbers, but its personal and employment profile data is sensitive. The returned provider trackId (exposed as track_id) can be used once to start email finding and expires 6 hours after this search. |
| `AI_ARK_START_EMAIL_FINDER` | Start Email Finder | Consume a People Search track ID exactly once, within 6 hours of the search, to start email finding. A required external HTTPS webhook receives sensitive personal email results. This costs 1 credit per valid email found and 0 credits for people without a valid email. Use GET_EMAIL_FINDER_STATUS to monitor the job and LIST_EMAIL_FINDER_RESULTS to retrieve partial or completed results. |
| `AI_ARK_START_PEOPLE_EXPORT` | Start People Export | Irreversibly start one paid asynchronous export of up to 10,000 matching people and deliver full personal profiles with real-time verified emails to a required external HTTPS webhook. AI Ark charges 0.5 credits per exported person plus 0.5 credits per valid email found, so the explicit maximum charge is size credits. Do not retry an ambiguous outcome because a duplicate submission can incur another charge and external delivery. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and AI Ark MCP?

With a standalone AI Ark MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of AI Ark tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from AI Ark and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with ChatGPT?

Yes, you can. ChatGPT fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right AI Ark tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for AI Ark while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which AI Ark scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your AI Ark data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
