## Introduction

### How to connect MarcoPolo 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 MarcoPolo account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can query your databases, correlate records, analyze datasets, trigger actions, and audit access 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 MarcoPolo integration lets ChatGPT Work 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 MarcoPolo MCP 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 MarcoPolo 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 MarcoPolo 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 MarcoPolo MCP server, and what's possible with it?

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MARCOPOLO_MCP_CONNECTION_SETUP` | Connection setup | Create a browser setup URL for a credentialed connection. Use a canonical `type` when known; otherwise pass `intent_text`. For hosted demo data with no credentials, use `install_demo_connection`. |
| `MARCOPOLO_MCP_CONNECTIONS_LIST` | Connections list | List visible Marcopolo connections ready in the execution workspace. Returned names are valid `connection_name` values for `data_query`. Capabilities and workspace paths describe supported workspace commands. |
| `MARCOPOLO_MCP_DATA_QUERY` | Data query | Run a bounded governed query against a visible connection. Use this tool in generated code that re-queries live data at view or load time: Remote Artifacts, external web apps, scheduled scripts, and any other programmatic interface that fetches fresh data on each run. Do NOT use it for agent-side analytics or one-off snapshot visualizations — use the `workspace_shell` tool with the connection query CLI instead. Pass the full workspace-relative `query_file` path including the connection prefix, e.g. `connections//queries/`. Paths resolve from `/workspace`, not from any current directory. Author new query files through `workspace_shell` before calling this tool so query text is durable and reusable. Returns `rows` as a parsed list of record dicts and `row_count` as the total — no JSON parsing needed. Results are capped by `max_rows` (1–5000). |
| `MARCOPOLO_MCP_INSTALL_DEMO_CONNECTION` | Install demo connection | Install hosted demo data with no user credentials. Pass a demo id or natural-language request. Use `connection_setup` for real user-owned connections. |
| `MARCOPOLO_MCP_WORKSPACE_SHELL` | Workspace shell | Run a shell command in the persistent /workspace runtime. Use for all agent-side work: query authoring, analytics, DuckDB joins, workspace files, scripts, git, diagnostics, and cron. The `connection` and `cron` CLIs exist only inside this runtime and must be invoked through this tool. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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