How do I connect Scribble to ChatGPT?

In ChatGPT, turn on Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, then add a connector pointing at https://scribblecards.com/api/mcp with OAuth authentication. Sign in to Scribble when prompted and choose what it may do.

#Add the connector

  1. Turn on developer mode

    Go to Settings → Connectors → Advanced and enable Developer mode. This is what lets you add a connector that is not in the directory yet.

  2. Create the connector

    Back in Connectors, choose Create. Name it Scribble, describe it as real handwritten cards, and use this MCP server URL:

    Text
    https://scribblecards.com/api/mcp
  3. Choose OAuth authentication

    Select OAuth rather than no authentication or an API key. There is nothing else to fill in — ChatGPT discovers the rest from the server.

  4. Sign in and choose permissions

    Complete the Scribble sign-in, untick anything you do not want, and confirm.

    You’ll know it worked when Scribble appears in the connector list with its tools.

  5. Use it in a chat

    Start a new chat, enable Scribble from the tools menu, and ask it for your credit balance to check the connection.

#Approving an action

ChatGPT shows you the exact tool call before running anything that writes. On a send, that means you see the recipient, the address and the full message text before a card exists. Read it — that panel is the last point at which the card is still an idea.
