## Introduction

### How to connect WildApricot 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 WildApricot account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can manage your members, register event attendees, update membership statuses, process payments, and send member emails through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/wild_apricot/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 WildApricot 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 WildApricot 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 WildApricot 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 WildApricot to ChatGPT Work

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `WILD_APRICOT_CREATE_CONTACT` | Create Contact | Create a WildApricot contact or member using an API key configured with Full access; a successful connection or list_accounts metadata does not prove write access. Supply membership_level_id and membership_enabled only for a member record. Setting recreate_invoice=true can also create a membership invoice; delete_contact removes the contact but may not reverse that invoice side effect. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_DELETE_CONTACT` | Delete Contact | Permanently delete one WildApricot contact or member by ID using an API key configured with Full access; a successful connection or list_accounts metadata does not prove write access. Use only for a known record. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_GET_CONTACT` | Get Contact | Get one WildApricot contact or member by ID, optionally including pending membership order, invoice, and allowed-action metadata. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_GET_EVENT` | Get Event | Get full details for one WildApricot event by ID, including schedule, location, access, and registration settings. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_LIST_ACCOUNTS` | List Accounts | List WildApricot accounts available to this connection, including account IDs, plan indicators, contact limits, and provider-advertised resource operations. Use this first to discover an account_id, but do not treat allowed operations as proof that the API key has Full access for writes. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_LIST_CONTACT_FIELDS` | List Contact Fields | List contact and membership field definitions, including field names, types, and search/edit metadata used to construct contact filters and field-selection requests. Selection does not guarantee that WildApricot will omit other contact fields. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_LIST_EVENT_REGISTRATIONS` | List Event Registrations | List event registrations for a required contact_id, event_id, or set of registration_ids, optionally including form details or waitlist entries. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_LIST_MEMBERSHIP_LEVELS` | List Membership Levels | Return one page of membership levels, optionally restricted to specific IDs, with fees, application eligibility, type, and renewal metadata. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_SEARCH_CONTACTS` | Search Contacts | Return one synchronous page of contacts matching a simple text search or WildApricot filter. Use list_contact_fields to discover valid field names for filter and select expressions; select is only a request and may not prevent WildApricot from returning additional personal fields. |
| `WILD_APRICOT_SEARCH_EVENTS` | Search Events | Return one synchronous page of events matching a validated WildApricot event filter, ordered by event start date or session start. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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