Brollvia MCP for ChatGPT

Custom MCP connector via Developer mode, signed in with OAuth.

Standard MCP connection — this guide follows OpenAI's documented MCP setup. We have not live-verified this client yet, so it does not carry the verified badge.

Why connect ChatGPT to Brollvia

ChatGPT reaches custom MCP servers through its Connectors system: with Developer mode enabled, you can add your own connector by URL — including Brollvia — and ChatGPT can then search the library, assemble shot lists and license footage inside the conversation, signing in through Brollvia's OAuth flow rather than a pasted key.

An honesty note we put on every client page except one: we have not yet completed a live verification run of the Brollvia server inside ChatGPT (Claude is the verified client today). The steps below are OpenAI's documented connector flow, which our OAuth server is built to — discovery, dynamic client registration, PKCE — and the connection should work exactly as described; if it does not, tell us and this page gets corrected or the badge question gets revisited.

Connect Brollvia to ChatGPT

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Under Advanced, turn on Developer mode (required for custom MCP connectors).
  3. Choose Create / Add connector and name it Brollvia.
  4. Enter the MCP server URL: https://brollvia.com/mcp
  5. Set Authentication to OAuth and create the connector.
  6. Connect it — ChatGPT sends you to Brollvia to sign in and approve the scopes.
  7. In a chat, enable the Brollvia connector from the tools menu and ask for footage.

What to ask once you are connected

Real prompts, using the real tools — search, script-to-B-roll, collections and licence lookups:

Search Brollvia for licensed aerial shots of Icelandic waterfalls and shortlist the five strongest.
Turn this treatment into a shot list and fill it with licensed B-roll.
Download the ProRes-ready version of that clip and give me its licence verification link.
Find me SFX for a rain-and-thunder transition, licensed and ready to use.

Good to know

  • Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan with Developer mode available; availability varies by plan and region.
  • ChatGPT may ask you to confirm before a tool call that downloads or writes — that is ChatGPT's safety prompt, not a Brollvia limit.
  • Because this path is newer, connector behaviour (which tools surface, how confirmations look) can change between OpenAI releases.

ChatGPT + Brollvia: questions

Why is developer mode required?

OpenAI gates user-added MCP servers behind Developer mode in ChatGPT settings — it is their control for custom connectors, separate from the curated connector directory. Turning it on does not change your account otherwise; it simply unlocks the "create connector" form these steps use.

Does ChatGPT use OAuth or an API key with Brollvia?

OAuth. ChatGPT discovers Brollvia's authorization server metadata, registers itself dynamically and runs an authorization-code + PKCE flow — you sign in on Brollvia and approve scopes. No key is pasted into ChatGPT, and you can revoke the connection from Brollvia's Connected apps page.

Has Brollvia tested this?

Not live yet — and this page says so rather than implying otherwise. Our OAuth implementation is the same one verified end-to-end with Claude's connector system, and ChatGPT's flow follows the same standards. When we complete a production run in ChatGPT, this page gains the verified badge.

What can ChatGPT do once connected?

The same tools every MCP client gets: search, similar-frame search, script-to-B-roll, collections as shot lists, licensed downloads under your plan, and licence-record lookups. Plan limits apply identically to the website.
