ChatGPT MCP Connection

The Tropikal MCP connection lets an authorized AI client work with safe parts of your Tropikal account. Use it when you want ChatGPT or another compatible MCP client to inspect workflow context, help draft persona changes, draft workflow updates, or summarize recent workflow runs.

Connect with this server URL:

https://mcp.tropikal.ai/mcp

What it can do

AreaSupported work
Workspace contextRead a safe summary of personas, workflows, and recent runs in the signed-in Tropikal account.
PersonasList personas, inspect a safe persona projection, create persona drafts, review drafts, and commit reviewed drafts.
WorkflowsList workflows, inspect a safe workflow projection, create workflow drafts, review drafts, and commit reviewed drafts.
RunsRead sanitized run summaries so an AI client can explain what happened without exposing private conversation payloads.
Prompt templatesStart common drafting and debugging flows from guided prompts inside compatible clients.

Safety boundaries

The MCP connection is account-scoped through TROPIKAL-ID. The client should only see the account you authorize.

Tropikal does not expose passwords, API keys, provider credentials, customer lists, lead payloads, handoff details, booking-request details, sales records, revenue workflow payloads, private maintenance docs, source code, or host access through this connection.

Write actions use a draft, review, and commit flow. Creating or patching a draft does not change live runtime behavior until a reviewed draft is committed.

Connect from ChatGPT

  1. Open the ChatGPT app or workspace area where custom MCP connections are managed.
  2. Add a new MCP server with https://mcp.tropikal.ai/mcp.
  3. ChatGPT should discover TROPIKAL-ID and open the Tropikal sign-in and approval flow.
  4. Sign in to the Tropikal account you want ChatGPT to use.
  5. Review the requested access and approve only if the account and client are correct.
  6. Test with a read-only prompt such as: List my Tropikal personas and workflows.

For the safest first test, ask for summaries before asking the client to draft or commit anything.

Common prompts

List my Tropikal personas and the workflows connected to them.
Draft a new front desk persona for a plumbing business. Do not commit it until I review it.
Create a workflow draft that qualifies website inquiries and hands booking requests to the owner for review.
Summarize the most recent workflow runs and call out anything that needs owner attention.

Troubleshooting

Message or symptomWhat it meansWhat to do
MCP server https://mcp.tropikal.ai/mcp does not implement OAuthThe client could not discover the TROPIKAL-ID authorization flow from the MCP server.Confirm the server URL is exactly https://mcp.tropikal.ai/mcp, then remove and re-add the connection. If it still fails, report the exact time and client used.
Bearer token requiredThe endpoint was opened without an authorized access token. This is expected for a direct unauthenticated request.Add the server through the client connection flow instead of opening the endpoint directly.
Signed into the wrong accountThe client is connected to a different TROPIKAL-ID session than expected.Disconnect the MCP server, sign out of the wrong Tropikal account, then connect again.
Action deniedThe account or approved access does not allow that MCP action.Start with a read-only request, then reconnect if the client needs draft or commit access.
Draft exists but live behavior did not changeThe change has not been reviewed and committed.Ask the client to review the draft, inspect the summary, and commit only after you approve it.

Reporting an issue

Include the client name, the exact error message, the approximate time, and whether the issue happened while connecting, reading context, drafting, reviewing, or committing.

Do not include passwords, access tokens, browser cookies, API keys, or private credentials in support messages.
