# Connect Podigee to ChatGPT

Install the Podigee plugin in ChatGPT and authorize it with browser sign-in.

Install the Podigee plugin from the ChatGPT plugin directory, then approve the connection in your browser. The plugin works in ChatGPT on the web, in the desktop app, and in the mobile app. You do not need developer mode.

## Before you start

* Have a Podigee account on a current plan. Connecting AI assistants is part of each current plan, starting with Launch.
* Have a ChatGPT account. OpenAI states which plans, workspaces, and regions can install a plugin in [Plugins in ChatGPT](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001256-plugins).
* ChatGPT cannot read a local audio or video file through a plugin. Upload the file in Podigee on the **New episode** page, or use an assistant that runs on your computer.

## Check the listing

The Podigee plugin is at [chatgpt.com/plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6ac38ec038088191b1134a7909638800). Before you install it, make sure that the listing shows these details:

* **Developer**: Podigee GmbH
* **MCP server**: `https://mcp.podigee.com/mcp`

## Install the plugin

1. Open the [Podigee plugin](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6ac38ec038088191b1134a7909638800). You can also select **Plugins** in the ChatGPT sidebar and search for `Podigee`.
2. Select **Install plugin**.
3. Select **Connect** when ChatGPT asks.
4. Sign in to Podigee in the browser window that opens.
5. Select the Podigee account for this connection, if Podigee asks.
6. Review the app name, the selected account, and the requested permissions.
7. Select **Connect** only when all details are correct.

## Install the plugin in a workspace

On ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu, a workspace administrator controls which plugins members can install. When ChatGPT shows **Disabled by admin**, ask your administrator to make Podigee available in the Admin console under **Plugins**. OpenAI explains the controls in [Plugins in ChatGPT](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001256-plugins).

Each member connects with their own Podigee account.

## Use the plugin in a conversation

ChatGPT uses Podigee when a request needs it. To select Podigee yourself, type `@Podigee`, or select **+** in the message box and enter `Podigee`.

ChatGPT can ask for your approval before Podigee runs an action. To change the approval rules, go to **Settings > Plugins** and select **Permissions**. Podigee also asks for your confirmation before a consequential change. See [Confirm a consequential change](/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/make-changes-safely/confirm-a-consequential-change.md).

## Verify the connection

Ask ChatGPT:

> Which Podigee account are you connected to? List my podcasts. Do not make changes.

## Expected result

ChatGPT identifies one Podigee account and lists only the podcasts that this authorization can access. No Podigee data changes.

## Use the plugin in Codex

ChatGPT and Codex use the same plugin directory. After you install Podigee, select it in a Codex task: open **Sources**, select **Use plugins**, and select Podigee. For Codex in a terminal, see [Connect Podigee to Codex](/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/connect-and-authorize/connect-podigee-to-codex.md).

## If the connection fails

* The browser window closes before you approve: select **Connect** again and complete the authorization.
* ChatGPT shows **Disabled by admin**: your workspace administrator has not made Podigee available.
* Podigee shows that AI assistants are part of the current plans: your account is on an earlier plan. Select **See plans** to change the plan, then start the connection again.
* ChatGPT returns the wrong Podigee account: go to **Settings > Plugins**, select Podigee, disconnect it, then connect again and select the correct account. Each account needs its own authorization.

Keep the connection read-only until ChatGPT returns the intended Podigee account.

Do not install a plugin with the Podigee name that shows a different developer or a different MCP address.

## Remove the connection

In ChatGPT, go to **Settings > Plugins** and select Podigee. Select **Disconnect** to sign ChatGPT out of Podigee, or select **Uninstall plugin** to remove it.

You can also revoke the access in Podigee. See [Review and revoke connected clients](/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/connect-and-authorize/review-and-revoke-connected-clients.md).

## Next step

[Choose permissions and scopes](/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/connect-and-authorize/choose-permissions-and-scopes.md) before you enable write work.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/connect-and-authorize/connect-podigee-to-chatgpt.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
