## Introduction

### How to connect Conductor 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 Conductor account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can create a workspace for bug triage, start a coding agent refactor session, search transcripts for failed deploy discussion through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/conductor/framework/hermes-agent)

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's Conductor 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 Conductor 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 Conductor 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 Conductor 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 Conductor MCP server, and what's possible with it?

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CONDUCTOR_CHANGE_WORKSPACE_STATE` | Change Workspace State | Put a workspace to sleep or archive it. Both actions stop active workspace use; archive is a stronger transition but is documented as restorable. Confirm the intended target and state before calling. |
| `CONDUCTOR_CREATE_SESSION` | Create Session | Create another agent chat session in an existing workspace. This may start agent/model resources and incur charges; call only when the user explicitly intends a new session. |
| `CONDUCTOR_CREATE_WORKSPACE` | Create Workspace | Create a cloud workspace and its first agent session. This launches compute and may incur cloud or model charges; call only when the user explicitly intends to create a new workspace. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_CURRENT_USER` | Get Current User | Return the user and organization represented by the connected Conductor API key. Use this to verify which account the connection acts as. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_MESSAGE` | Get Message | Get one transcript message by id. The content may contain sensitive prompts, agent output, configuration, or provider-specific events. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_PROJECT` | Get Project | Get one Conductor project and its repository remote by project id. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_SESSION` | Get Session | Get one agent session's configuration and current idle, working, or error status in one read. The tool fails unless both records are retrieved and refer to the requested session. |
| `CONDUCTOR_GET_WORKSPACE` | Get Workspace | Get a workspace's metadata and current lifecycle status in one read, including initialization progress or errors. The tool fails unless both records are retrieved and refer to the requested workspace. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_MESSAGES` | List Messages | Read one page of a session transcript or incrementally read messages after a known message ID. Returned content may contain sensitive user prompts, agent output, configuration, or provider events; request and expose it only when needed. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_PROJECTS` | List Projects | List repositories available to the connected account for creating Conductor workspaces. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_SESSIONS` | List Sessions | List one page of agent chat sessions in a Conductor workspace. |
| `CONDUCTOR_LIST_WORKSPACES` | List Workspaces | List one page of workspaces belonging to a Conductor project, including deep links and recent activity. |
| `CONDUCTOR_QUERY_TRANSCRIPTS` | Query Transcripts | Run one read-only SQL SELECT against the organization's session_transcripts_view. Results can expose sensitive transcript text across many sessions: select only necessary columns, constrain rows with LIMIT, and use this only for deliberate organization-wide analysis. Conductor limits queries to 5 seconds and responses to 500 rows, so results may be truncated. |
| `CONDUCTOR_RENAME_SESSION` | Rename Session | Change an existing Conductor session's display name without stopping its agent. |
| `CONDUCTOR_RENAME_WORKSPACE` | Rename Workspace | Change the display name of an existing Conductor workspace without changing its lifecycle state. |
| `CONDUCTOR_SEND_MESSAGE` | Send Message | Send a prompt to a Conductor session agent. This can start external agent/model execution and incur charges; it is not a passive transcript append. Call only when the user intends the agent to act. |
| `CONDUCTOR_STOP_SESSION` | Stop Session | Cancel only the current turn and queued messages, or archive the entire session. Both can discard queued work; archive also stops the agent and leaves the session read-only. Confirm the intended action before calling. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

With a standalone Conductor MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Conductor tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Conductor 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 Conductor tools.

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

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