## Introduction

### How to connect LimaData 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 LimaData account to ChatGPT via Composio Connect, so it can enrich company records, find business contacts, search your target database, research companies, and identify audiences 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 LimaData 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 LimaData 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 LimaData 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 LimaData to ChatGPT

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 LimaData MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The LimaData MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your LimaData account. It provides structured and secure access to B2B company and person enrichment, contact discovery, database search, audience identity, and web research, so your agent can enrich prospects, find professional contact details, research companies and people, extract information from web pages, and prepare audience identifiers on your behalf.
- Company and person enrichment: Have your agent enrich companies from their domains or LinkedIn pages, and enrich professionals using their email, profile URL, or name and company.
- Contact discovery: Direct your agent to find work emails, personal emails, phone numbers, and social profiles for known professionals.
- Database and employee search: Let the agent search LimaData's company and people database, count matching records, or find employees at selected companies by job title.
- Web research and page extraction: Instruct your agent to search the web, research a question with source-backed context, or extract clean content and metadata from up to 10 web pages.
- Audience matching and email verification: Have your agent create advertising audience identifiers, retrieve email hashes for audience matching, verify email deliverability, and check the connected credit balance.

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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