## Introduction

### How to connect BrainGraph MCP with ChatGPT Work
[ChatGPT Work](https://openai.com/chatgpt-work/) is an agent inside ChatGPT built for your most ambitious work. It takes action across your apps and files, stays with a project for hours, and turns 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 BrainGraph account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can index documents, search your graph, summarize linked content, create nodes and relations, and update node metadata through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's BrainGraph integration lets ChatGPT Work take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
- 1,000+ 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 BrainGraph to ChatGPT Work

### Prerequisites
- A ChatGPT account with access to ChatGPT Work (rolling out across Pro, Enterprise, Edu, Plus, and Business plans). We will use the [ChatGPT desktop app](https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/), which is available on every plan.
- Access to the BrainGraph workspace you want to connect.
- [Composio MCP](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 BrainGraph to ChatGPT Work
### 1. Open the MCP settings
In ChatGPT Work, 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:

```bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

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

The BrainGraph MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your BrainGraph account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform BrainGraph operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_GET_DOCUMENT_PROGRESS` | Get Document Progress | Get the current transcription, processing, and analysis status for a BrainGraph document. Poll until transcript.status is analyzed; analysis is null while processing is incomplete. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_INGEST_WEB_PAGE` | Ingest Web Page | Fetch readable content from a public web page and queue it for BrainGraph ingestion. This creates persistent data and consumes upload and URL-submission quota. After a timeout or other ambiguous failure, check for the document before retrying to avoid a duplicate and additional quota use. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_INGEST_YOUTUBE_VIDEO` | Ingest YouTube Video | Submit a YouTube video for metadata, transcript, and speaker processing; the result may only confirm that processing was queued. This creates persistent data and consumes upload and URL-submission quota. After a timeout or incomplete stream, check for the document before retrying to avoid a duplicate and additional quota use. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_LIST_BRAINS` | List Brains | List the connected BrainGraph account's knowledge brains and identify the default brain for filtering or targeting other tools. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_LIST_DOCUMENTS` | List Documents | List BrainGraph documents newest first, optionally filtering by filename or notes, failed ingestion status, and brain. Returns one page at a time. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_LIST_PATTERNS` | List Graph Patterns | Find recurring relationship-chain patterns in the connected BrainGraph knowledge graph, subject to a minimum occurrence count. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_RESOLVE_ENTITY` | Resolve Entity | Resolve an entity name to a canonical BrainGraph record. If there is no single match, return an explicit ambiguous or not-found result rather than treating it as an HTTP error. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_SEARCH_BRAIN` | Search Brain | Search facts in the connected account's BrainGraph knowledge graph using a natural-language question, optionally restricted to selected brains. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_TRANSCRIBE_AUDIO` | Transcribe Audio | Upload an audio file or submit a direct public audio URL for diarized transcription and graph ingestion. This creates persistent data and consumes upload and transcription allowance. Do not retry automatically after an ambiguous failure because a retry can create a duplicate document. |
| `BRAIN_GRAPH_UPLOAD_DOCUMENT` | Upload Document | Upload a document file supplied by the caller or plain text and queue it for BrainGraph ingestion. This creates persistent data and consumes the account's upload allowance. After a timeout or other ambiguous failure, check for the document before retrying to avoid a duplicate and additional quota use. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and BrainGraph MCP?

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

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

Yes, you can. ChatGPT Work 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 BrainGraph tools.

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which BrainGraph 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 BrainGraph data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
