Connect ChatGPT

Connecting ChatGPT to SchemAlign has two layers:

  1. the SchemAlign deployment must be connected to SchemAlign MCP
  2. each user authorizes ChatGPT to access SchemAlign as that user

Administrator: connect the SchemAlign deployment

A SchemAlign administrator first establishes trust between the SchemAlign deployment and the SchemAlign MCP service.

In SchemAlign:

  1. Open Admin.
  2. Open the MCP area.
  3. Go to Connection & Health.
  4. Choose Connect to SchemAlign MCP.
  5. Wait for the connection to report Connected.
  6. Use Test Connection to confirm the deployment can communicate with MCP.

The connection is established server-to-server. Administrators do not need to create an enrollment token, paste an infrastructure credential, or sign in to a separate MCP server.

User: connect SchemAlign in ChatGPT

After the deployment is connected:

  1. Add or connect the SchemAlign app in ChatGPT.
  2. When prompted, sign in to SchemAlign.
  3. Review the SchemAlign authorization page.
  4. Confirm the AI client identity shown on the page.
  5. Approve access.

When SchemAlign can verify ChatGPT's product identity, the authorization page identifies the client as:

ChatGPT
Verified ยท OpenAI

After authorization, ChatGPT acts through the current SchemAlign user identity.

What the authorization grants

Authorizing ChatGPT does not grant blanket access to the deployment.

The effective access is still limited by:

  • the user's current SchemAlign account
  • organization membership
  • organization RBAC
  • whether MCP is enabled for the organization
  • the OAuth scopes approved for the AI client
  • the MCP capabilities enabled for that organization

For example, a user may be allowed to inspect pipelines in one organization while another organization remains unavailable. Extend authoring, native runtime management, connector installation, test execution, and sensitive diagnostic reads each require their corresponding access.

If the client is not verified

SchemAlign does not treat a client name by itself as proof of identity.

If the client cannot be verified, the authorization page identifies it as an Unverified MCP client and displays additional connection information for review.

Only approve an unverified client when your organization has intentionally chosen to use that client.

Confirm the connection

After connecting, ask ChatGPT a simple SchemAlign question such as:

Which SchemAlign organizations can I access?

The answer should reflect the same organization boundaries that currently apply to your SchemAlign user.
