## Introduction

### How to connect Mathpix 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 Mathpix account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can extract text from images, convert equations to LaTeX, parse tables into CSV, and generate editable documents through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mathpix/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 Mathpix 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 Mathpix 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 Mathpix 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 Mathpix 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

```

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MATHPIX_CONVERT_MATHPIX_MARKDOWN` | Convert Mathpix Markdown | Submit Mathpix Markdown, wait for one requested format to finish, then return the conversion ID and downloadable output file. The remote conversion remains if waiting fails or times out. |
| `MATHPIX_CREATE_APP_TOKEN` | Create App Token | Mint a short-lived client OCR credential, optionally with a live ink strokes session. Requires explicit acknowledgement because the response exposes the new secret exactly once to the caller. |
| `MATHPIX_DELETE_CONVERSION` | Delete Conversion | Permanently delete one Mathpix Markdown conversion's hosted output data after explicit confirmation. The response preserves the status immediately before deletion; Mathpix may continue to report that status after the output data has been deleted. |
| `MATHPIX_DELETE_DOCUMENT` | Delete Document | Permanently delete one Mathpix document source and its hosted outputs after explicit confirmation. The response reports the status immediately before deletion, not a deleted status marker, and cached downloads may remain reachable for up to 10 minutes. |
| `MATHPIX_DELETE_FILE` | Delete File | Permanently delete one terminal Files API file and its Mathpix-hosted results. This does not remove customer-owned destination objects, reverse billing, or delete a file that is still processing. |
| `MATHPIX_FINALIZE_FILE_JOB` | Finalize File Job | Permanently close one Files API job to new file additions and arm its completion webhook. Already accepted files may continue processing. Requires explicit confirmation; repeating the same finalization is provider-idempotent. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_APP_TOKEN` | Get App Token | Get expiry and ownership metadata for a specific short-lived Mathpix app token. The secret token is used only in the request path and is omitted from the returned object and provider-error diagnostics. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_CONVERSION_RESULT` | Get Conversion Result | Wait for an existing Mathpix Markdown conversion and requested format to finish, then return its status and downloadable output file without creating a conversion. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_DOCUMENT_RESULT` | Get Document Result | Wait for an existing Mathpix document job and requested format to finish, then return its status and downloadable output file without creating a new job. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_FILE_JOB` | Get File Job | Get aggregate status, file and page counters, and timestamps for one Files API job. A completed job can still contain errored files; inspect files_errored and has_file_errors. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_FILE_RESULT` | Get File Result | Wait for an existing Files API file and selected format to finish, then return its status and downloadable output without creating a file. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_JOB_FILE_BY_CUSTOM_ID` | Get Job File by Custom ID | Get the complete Files API processing status for one job member using the exact caller-defined custom ID assigned at submission. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_OCR_USAGE` | Get OCR Usage | Return one page of aggregated Mathpix OCR usage for a date range, optionally grouped by usage type, request configuration, or application. |
| `MATHPIX_GET_STORAGE_ONBOARDING_IDENTITIES` | Get Storage Onboarding Identities | Get the Mathpix AWS, Azure, and GCP identities needed to grant cloud-storage access. Requires explicit acknowledgement because the first call may lazily create the account's immutable external ID. |
| `MATHPIX_LIST_CONVERSIONS` | List Conversions | List one page of retained Mathpix Markdown conversion records, optionally filtered by date, and return IDs usable by conversion result or deletion tools. |
| `MATHPIX_LIST_DATA_SOURCES` | List Data Sources | List cloud-storage data sources registered with Mathpix, returning only allowlisted non-secret metadata. |
| `MATHPIX_LIST_DOCUMENTS` | List Documents | List retained document OCR jobs for the connected account, optionally filtered by date or document ID, and return one page. |
| `MATHPIX_LIST_FILE_JOB_FILES` | List File Job Files | List one cursor-paginated page of files in a Mathpix Files API job, optionally filtered by terminal status. |
| `MATHPIX_LIST_FILE_JOBS` | List File Jobs | List one cursor-paginated page of Files API jobs newest first, optionally bounded by inclusive UTC dates. |
| `MATHPIX_OCR_DOCUMENT` | OCR Document | Submit a PDF, office document, or ebook URL, wait for OCR and the requested conversion to finish, then return its Mathpix job ID and downloadable output file. Mathpix retains the remote job after success; call Delete Document when the hosted source and outputs are no longer needed. |
| `MATHPIX_OCR_IMAGE` | OCR Image | Extract text, math, tables, diagrams, or chemistry from one image URL or base64 data URI and return the requested OCR representations. Mathpix may retain the submitted image and result, and provides no image deletion endpoint. |
| `MATHPIX_PROCESS_FILE_URI` | Process File URI | Submit one public or registered-cloud document URI to the paid Files API, wait for OCR and one requested output, and return the retained file ID and downloadable result. Supply an idempotency key for safely retryable standalone submissions. External storage writes or callback delivery require explicit authorization. |
| `MATHPIX_PROCESS_IMAGE_BATCH` | Process Image Batch | Submit a paid asynchronous batch of 1-100 named public image URLs, wait until every key has a semantically successful OCR result, and return the retained batch ID and results. Explicit confirmation is required because Mathpix provides no batch deletion route and may deliver an external callback. |
| `MATHPIX_RECOGNIZE_STROKES` | Recognize Strokes | Recognize handwritten math or text from aligned x/y digital-ink stroke arrays and return OCR representations. This paid call may retain the result. |
| `MATHPIX_REVOKE_APP_TOKEN` | Revoke App Token | Irreversibly revoke one short-lived app token immediately. Existing clients using the credential will stop authenticating. Requires explicit confirmation. |
| `MATHPIX_SEARCH_OCR_RESULTS` | Search OCR Results | Search retained image and stroke OCR history by date, identifiers, content, tags, or detected content and return one page of results. |
| `MATHPIX_SUBMIT_FILE_JOB` | Submit File Job | Submit 1 to 200,000 remote documents as one paid asynchronous Mathpix Files job. This creates retained processing state and may read or write external storage or deliver callbacks. Acceptance defers per-file validation, so use job status and member listing tools to determine actual outcomes. |
| `MATHPIX_UPLOAD_AND_PROCESS_FILE` | Upload and Process File | Upload one local document to the paid Mathpix Files API, wait until OCR and one requested output are ready, then return the retained Mathpix file ID and a downloadable result. The operation can consume page quota and does not delete the remote file; use Delete File when it is no longer needed. External storage writes or callback delivery require explicit authorization. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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