Using Dataforseo tools in ChatGPT

What to expect once Dataforseo is connected.

  • Type @ and pick the plugin. The selection applies to that message only, so @mention it again when a follow-up needs fresh Dataforseo data.
  • For write actions, ChatGPT may ask you to confirm first, depending on the app permissions and the action.
  • Once published for a workspace, ChatGPT keeps a snapshot of the tool list. When your team adds Dataforseo tools in Metorial, an admin refreshes the actions in Workspace settings before they appear.
  • You can use several apps in one prompt, for example read Dataforseo data and then create a ticket in another app.

Troubleshooting ChatGPT

Add custom MCP server is missing
Workspace policy controls it. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin grants the permission to create plugins with MCPs; ask them to enable it for you.
The plugin exists but no tools appear
Creating the plugin is not enough: install it from your plugins, then start a new conversation so ChatGPT loads its tools.
ChatGPT answers without using the tools
Pick the plugin with @ in the composer and name the action you want, for example "use Metorial to look up the latest ticket".
