AI Connector for JobAdder

Set up in ChatGPT

Add AI Connector for JobAdder to ChatGPT as a custom app (MCP server) for chat, scheduled tasks and deep research.

Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces

A workspace admin or owner creates the app once; members then connect with their own JobAdder user.

  1. Admin: open Workspace settings > Apps (called plugins or connectors in some workspaces) and choose to create a custom app.
  2. Enter the name “AI Connector for JobAdder”, paste the connector URL below as the MCP server URL, and set authentication to OAuth. ChatGPT finds the sign-in details automatically; no client ID or secret is needed.
  3. Create the app and make it available to the workspace (or to selected groups).
  4. Members: in a chat, choose the app from the tools menu, or open Settings > Apps and select Connect. Each member chooses what ChatGPT may do, signs in to JobAdder and checks that the Connect as page shows their own name before selecting Continue.

ChatGPT Pro (developer mode)

On Pro, custom apps are added in developer mode, which supports reading only. Turn on developer mode under Settings > Apps > Advanced settings, create an app with the read-only URL and OAuth authentication, and connect it.

Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT Work

Scheduled tasks run without you, so use a read-only app for them: create a second app with the read-only URL (for example “AI Connector for JobAdder (read-only)”) and select it when you schedule the task. A good first task: “Every Monday at 8:30, summarise last week's placements, new applications and the jobs with no activity in 14 days.”

For deliveries by email or Slack without ChatGPT running, use an automation instead.

Deep research and company knowledge

Deep research uses the connector's search and fetch tools. search finds candidates, contacts, companies, jobs, placements and opportunities matching a query and returns short results with links; fetch returns a concise dossier for one record. Select the app as a source when you start a deep research request, for example: “Research our relationship with Northwind Traders: open jobs, recent placements, key contacts and the last notes.”

Changing permissions

ChatGPT asks before running tools that change JobAdder. To switch between read-only and read-write access, disconnect the app in Settings > Apps and connect it again, then choose again on the consent screen.
