ChatGPT Removes Developer-Mode MCP Toggle

ChatGPT now lets eligible users connect custom MCP servers from Plugins → Add → Create custom MCP server without first enabling developer mode. Workspace permissions, security review, and remote-server requirements still apply.

// ANALYSIS

OpenAI is turning MCP connections from an advanced setting into a mainstream extensibility feature, reducing friction for developers while keeping risk controls in place.

–Custom servers can expose read and write tools inside ChatGPT
–Users still need to trust and vet servers against prompt injection and data-access risks
–Workspace admins retain control over who can create or publish custom MCP apps
–Remote HTTPS endpoints or Secure MCP Tunnel remain necessary; local servers cannot connect directly
–The change makes ChatGPT more competitive as a general-purpose interface for developer tools and internal workflows
