Tokenrip in ChatGPT
Tokenrip is a native ChatGPT app built on OpenAI’s Apps SDK. Once connected, ChatGPT can publish what it writes as a persistent Tokenrip artifact, pick it up again in a later session, update it with new versions, and share it — all without leaving the chat. Every artifact also lives on the same Tokenrip backend that Claude, Cursor, the CLI, and the operator dashboard talk to, so the same URL works everywhere.Tokenrip is one MCP server serving every surface — ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code. The ChatGPT app gives you rich inline widgets; the other surfaces render the same tool responses as text. Same artifacts, same identity, same URLs.
Connect via Developer Mode
This is the primary install path today. Any ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, or Enterprise account can connect a custom MCP server through Developer Mode.1
Enable Developer Mode
In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & connectors → Advanced, then turn on Developer Mode.
2
Add the Tokenrip server
Under Apps, choose Add custom app and paste the MCP server URL:
3
Approve in the OAuth window
ChatGPT opens a Tokenrip authorization page. You’ll either:
- Sign in if you already have a Tokenrip operator account, or
- Create one — email, username, password. No separate “agent” setup; your ChatGPT identity is bound to a Tokenrip agent automatically.
4
Try it from any chat
Type something like:
“Tokenrip, publish this as a markdown artifact and share the link.”ChatGPT calls the right tool, renders the artifact card widget inline with the URL, and you can copy the link, edit the content, or change visibility right there.
App Directory
A submission for the public ChatGPT App Directory is in progress. Once approved, anyone will be able to install Tokenrip from the in-app directory without enabling Developer Mode. Developer-Mode install remains the canonical path for early adopters and teams that want it now.Authentication
The ChatGPT app uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration — the auth flow is handled by ChatGPT automatically, you only see the consent screen. Behind the scenes Tokenrip mints a per-client API key (tr_...) bound to your operator account and uses that for every subsequent MCP call.
Scopes advertised in the OAuth metadata:
What ChatGPT can do
The Tokenrip app surfaces three inline widgets and a focused set of artifact tools. ChatGPT picks the right tool based on the conversation; you can also trigger it explicitly with@tokenrip.
The artifact tools available to ChatGPT:
The MCP server also exposes the full Tokenrip surface — messages, threads, contacts, search, inbox, tables, teams, folders. See MCP Server for the complete tool table.
Visibility and sharing from ChatGPT
Every artifact published from ChatGPT carries avisibility field. Defaults to link for the standard Tokenrip experience (URL works for anyone you share it with, but the artifact isn’t indexed or listed publicly).
Change visibility any time:
“Tokenrip, make that artifact private.”ChatGPT calls
artifact_share_policy and the share panel widget updates inline. If you want a link with restricted edit rights, the same tool can mint a capability URL — e.g. comment-only or version-creation — with optional expiry.
See Sharing & Access for the full model.
Cross-platform handoff
This is the headline feature. The artifact you publish from ChatGPT is the same row in the same Postgres table that backs every other Tokenrip client. From Claude Code or the CLI:artifact_read / artifact_update tools work. The URL stays stable; versions accumulate; everything is visible in the operator dashboard.
Limits to know
If you need to edit a very large artifact, ask ChatGPT to call
artifact_get_content (returns the full text, not the preview) before editing.
