## Introduction

### How to connect Zip 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 Zip account to ChatGPT via Composio Connect, so it can create purchase requests, track approvals, find suppliers, review contracts, and monitor spend through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

## Also integrate Zip with

- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zip/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zip/framework/hermes-agent)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zip/framework/atomic-agent)

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's Zip integration lets ChatGPT take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
- 1,700+ 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 Zip 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 Zip workspace you want to connect.
- [Composio plugin](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?cta_placement=toolkit-framework-chatgpt-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 Zip to ChatGPT
### 1. Install the Composio plugin
Click the button. ChatGPT opens the Composio plugin page. Click Install plugin.
[Install in ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a58503580c08191b78cc5bdaf4eba6e)
You can also find it inside ChatGPT: go to Settings, open Plugins, search the marketplace for Composio, and click Install plugin.
### 2. Authenticate
After you install, ChatGPT asks you to authenticate with Composio. Log in and click Allow access to authorize ChatGPT to use your Composio account.
### 3. Start using Composio
That is it. Composio tools are now available in ChatGPT. Type @Composio followed by your request, for example @Composio find unread Zip messages and summarize them, and it will run the actions you authorize. On first use it asks you to authorize Zip.
### Option 2: Add Composio as an MCP server
If you cannot use the plugin marketplace, add Composio as a custom MCP server instead.
### 1. Open the MCP settings
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:

```bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

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

The Zip MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zip account. It provides structured and secure access to procurement records and configuration, so your agent can create invoices, manage vendors and products, organize departments and locations, and configure approval workflows on your behalf.
- Invoice and receipt management: Have your agent create invoices, add invoice line items, create item receipts, and archive receipts when they are no longer needed.
- Vendor and product administration: Let the agent create vendor contacts, sites, credits, items, item groups, addresses, and products to keep purchasing records up to date.
- Organization setup: Direct your agent to create departments, locations, subsidiaries, roles, users, expense categories, GL codes, and tax codes in Zip.
- Approval workflow configuration: Instruct your agent to create main queues, add subqueues, create delegations, and remove queues or delegations when workflows change.
- Request collaboration and risk records: Have your agent add comments or replies to request details, delete comments, and record completed or canceled risk assessments.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ZIP_ARCHIVE_ITEM_RECEIPT` | Archive an item receipt | Archive an item receipt. Archives a submitted receipt or return, the same way archiving works in Zip. An archived receipt no longer counts toward three-way match, and allocation to matched bills runs again without it. Fails if the receipt backs a bill that has already been paid. This is a status change, not a delete. On success, the archived item receipt is returned. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_ADDRESS` | Create address | Create a vendor or company address in Zip from structured address fields. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_COMMENT` | Create a comment | Create a comment or reply to an existing comment on Zip's request details page (RDP). |
| `ZIP_CREATE_DELEGATION` | Create a delegation | Create a delegation. Create an out-of-office delegation. The delegator's approval responsibilities will be transferred to the delegate for the specified date range. Only one active (unexpired) delegation is allowed per delegator. Circular delegations (A delegates to B who delegates back to A) are not allowed. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_DEPARTMENT` | Create a department | Create a department in Zip with its name, display name, active status, and visibility settings. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_E_INVOICE` | Create an invoice from e-invoice XML | Create an invoice from an e-invoice payload. Send XML with `application/xml` or `text/xml`, or send the documented JSON form with `application/json` when supplying an optional PDF. Set `provider` only for invoices processed through Zip's billable provider agreement, and set `jurisdiction=FR` only with explicit France routing context; neither value is inferred from the payload. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_EXPENSE_CATEGORY` | Create an expense category | Create an expense category in Zip with its accounting and active-status fields. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_GL_CODE` | Create GL code | Create a GL account in Zip. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_INVOICE` | Create an invoice | Create an invoice. Creates a new draft bill invoice with the specified details and initializes its approval workflow. The invoice can optionally be matched to one or more purchase orders by providing either purchase_order_ids or purchase_order_numbers. On success, the created invoice is returned. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_INVOICE_LINE_ITEMS` | Add invoice line items | Add multiple line items to an existing bill invoice by invoice ID. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_ITEM_ACCOUNT` | Create item account | Create an item-account lookup record in Zip from the supplied account fields. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_ITEM_RECEIPT` | Create an item receipt | Create an item receipt. Creates a receipt or a return against one purchase order, already submitted. Each line must name a line on that purchase order that requires receiving, at most once, with quantity for a quantity line or total_amount for an amount line. Allocation to matched bills runs after the receipt is saved, as it does for receipts submitted in Zip. Purchase orders that receive in an ERP are rejected. On success, the created item receipt is returned. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_LOCATION` | Create location | Create a company location in Zip with a name and status. |
| `ZIP_CREATE_LOOKUP` | Create look up type | Create a lookup type in Zip. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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

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