# Connect iX ERP to ChatGPT

Use your AI business assistant to explore financial, sales, purchasing and inventory data through secure, read-only access.

### 1. Before you begin

Have these ready:

- A ChatGPT account/workspace that permits custom MCP connections.
- Your company’s ERP web address.
- Your personal API4 access key, issued by your ERP administrator.

Ask iX ERP support to confirm your company’s ERP server is approved for connection.

### 2. Add the plugin in ChatGPT

1. Sign in to [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com).
2. Open **Plugins**.
3. Select **+ → Add custom MCP server**.
4. If this option is unavailable, contact your ChatGPT workspace administrator. [Official setup instructions](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/deploy/connect-chatgpt)

### 3. Enter the connection details

| Field | Enter or select |
| --- | --- |
| Name | `iX ERP GPT` |
| Description | `Your AI business assistant for iX ERP. Explore performance, spot trends and make informed decisions through secure, read-only access.` |
| Connection | Public HTTPS endpoint, if asked |
| MCP server URL | `https://mcp_server.ixerp.net/mcp` |
| Authentication | **OAuth** |
| Registration method | **Dynamic Client Registration — DCR** |
| Base scopes | `erp:read` |
| Default scopes | Leave blank |
| OpenID support | Disabled |

ChatGPT will discover the OAuth endpoints automatically.

ChatGPT will registers its connection automatically. [OAuth documentation](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/build/auth)

### 4. Create the plugin

1. Review the connection warning.
2. If you agree, select **I understand and want to continue**.
3. Select **Create as a plugin**.
4. Follow any **Connect** or **Authorize** prompt. Account linking may also appear when you first request ERP data.

### 5. Link your iX ERP account

On the iX ERP connection page, confirm the browser address begins with:

```
https://mcp_server.ixerp.net/
```

Enter:

- **ERP address:** your company’s iX ERP root address, for example `https://erp.yourcompany.com`.
- **API key:** your personal key.

Select the read-only consent checkbox, then **Authorize read access**. You should return to ChatGPT.

**Never paste your API key into a chat.**

### 6. Start using iX ERP GPT

Install the resulting plugin if prompted. Start a new conversation, type **`@`**, and select **iX ERP GPT**. [Using the connected plugin](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/deploy/connect-chatgpt)

Start with:

> What reports and information can I access in iX ERP?

Then try:

> Show my profit and loss for the current financial year.

Available information follows your existing iX ERP permissions. The connection cannot change ERP records.

### 7. If you need help

Contact iX ERP support with the error message or a screenshot. Hide API keys, authorization headers and other credentials before sharing.
