## Introduction

### How to connect Olostep 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 Olostep account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can crawl sites, extract structured data, search your corpus, and monitor page changes through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

## Also integrate Olostep with

- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/olostep/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 Olostep 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 Olostep 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 Olostep 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 Olostep 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 Olostep MCP server, and what's possible with it?

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `OLOSTEP_ANSWER_QUESTION` | Answer Question | Synchronously research a bounded task by searching and browsing the web, then return the completed answer and sources when available. This usage-metered operation usually takes 3-30 seconds and has no documented fixed dashboard-key credit price; check the account balance before expensive use. |
| `OLOSTEP_GET_CREDIT_BALANCE` | Get Credit Balance | Return the connected team's remaining Olostep credits, credit lots, active subscription, and whether usage is enabled without consuming web-processing credits. |
| `OLOSTEP_GET_OPERATION_RESULT` | Get Operation Result | Retrieve a stored scrape, search, map, answer, or crawl by its operation ID without repeating or rebilling the original work. Crawl results may still report in_progress. |
| `OLOSTEP_LIST_CRAWL_PAGES` | List Crawl Pages | Return one page of URLs and retrieve IDs processed by an asynchronous crawl, with a continuation cursor for additional pages. Use Retrieve Content for page bodies. |
| `OLOSTEP_MAP_WEBSITE` | Map Website | Synchronously discover and optionally rank URLs on a website, returning one response page and a continuation cursor. This usage-metered operation consumes Olostep credits. |
| `OLOSTEP_RETRIEVE_CONTENT` | Retrieve Content | Retrieve stored page content by retrieve ID in selected live-supported formats, including hosted URLs for oversized output. |
| `OLOSTEP_SCRAPE_PAGE` | Scrape Page | Synchronously scrape one web page and return requested content, links, metadata, a retrieve ID, and billing usage. This usage-metered operation can consume credits even when cached content is returned. Fresh scrapes, browser actions, extraction, and screenshots may cost more. |
| `OLOSTEP_SEARCH_WEB` | Search Web | Synchronously search the web for relevant deduplicated links. This usage-metered operation costs 5 base credits per search; supplying scrape_formats also charges for scraping each returned page. The response reports credits_consumed when available. |
| `OLOSTEP_START_CRAWL` | Start Crawl | Start an asynchronous, usage-metered website crawl and immediately return its crawl ID and initial status. This action does not poll: use Get Operation Result to monitor status and List Crawl Pages to consume output. Work may continue for 1-10 minutes and can consume credits for up to max_pages pages. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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