Connecting Odds compatibility
Connecting Odds runs one MCP server for every client. ChatGPT calls the same search_jobs and get_job tools, backed by the same ranked search engine the website uses — there is no client-specific search behaviour.
Required transport
Remote MCP (Streamable HTTP). The endpoint is:
https://connectingodds.com/mcpAuthentication
OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. ChatGPT redirects you to Connecting Odds, you approve the connection, and the client stores a scoped access token. You never paste a key, password or database credential.
Setup steps
Open ChatGPT settings, enable connectors/developer mode, then follow the client's current custom connector flow and paste the Connecting Odds MCP URL. Approve the Connecting Odds sign-in prompt when it appears.
Client interfaces change often, so follow ChatGPT’s current MCP or custom connector setup flow and paste the URL above when it asks for a server address.

Troubleshooting
If the connector does not appear in a chat, enable it from the composer's tools menu and start a new conversation.
- MCP connection failed: Remove the connector and add it again with the copied URL, then restart the client.
- Authentication failed: Disconnect and reconnect to trigger a fresh sign-in, and approve the Connecting Odds consent screen.
- Tools not appearing: Refresh the connector's tools, then start a new chat or session.
- No jobs returned: Loosen one constraint at a time — drop the salary floor or widen the location — and ask again.
Only public job data is returned, and account-scoped tools act as your signed-in user.
