​
Overview

Connect ChatGPT to your Minoa workspace using a custom connector. Once connected, you can ask ChatGPT about your pipeline, find winning use cases, and even create business cases — all through natural conversation.
Custom MCP connectors are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. On Business, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces a workspace admin may first need to enable custom connectors (sometimes shown as Developer mode) under workspace settings. If you don’t see Connectors in Settings, check with your workspace admin — or email support@minoa.io and we’ll help.

​
What Can I Do With This?

Once connected, just ask ChatGPT what you need:

​
Getting Started

The Minoa server URL is https://mcp.minoa.io.

​
Add the connector

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors (on a Business/Enterprise/Edu workspace, enable Developer mode first if custom connectors aren’t already turned on).
  2. Click Add (or Create) to add a custom connector.
  3. Give it a name — for example, Minoa.
  4. For the MCP server URL, enter https://mcp.minoa.io.
  5. Choose OAuth as the authentication method if prompted, then click Create / Connect.
ChatGPT shows a notice that you’re connecting to an external server — that’s expected. Confirm the URL reads https://mcp.minoa.io before continuing.

​
Authorize Access

After adding the connector, ChatGPT redirects you to Minoa to sign in. After logging in, you’ll see an authorization screen — click Authorize to grant ChatGPT access to your Minoa data. Once authorized, you’ll be redirected back to ChatGPT and see Minoa in your connected connectors.
Why do I sign in with my own account?Minoa uses personal authentication rather than a shared service account. This means:
  • Audit trail — Every action ChatGPT takes is logged under your user, so your team knows who did what
  • Permissions — ChatGPT inherits your role. It can read and change exactly what you can in the web app, and nothing else
  • Accountability — AI actions are tied to a real person, not an anonymous bot
Can a seller change our value framework through ChatGPT? No. ChatGPT runs on the same permissions as the web app, so editing the value framework and its math stays admin-only — and even for admins, changes stage in a private draft that needs explicit approval before publishing. See Permissions and Governance.

​
Try It Out

Start a new chat, enable the Minoa connector for the conversation if your client asks you to, and try:
“What business cases do I have open right now?”
If ChatGPT responds with your actual deals, you’re all set.

​
Things You Can Ask

​
Browse Your Business Cases

  • “Show me all my open business cases”
  • “Find business cases for Acme”
  • “List my won deals”

​
Check Your Pipeline

  • “How’s my pipeline doing?”
  • “What’s my win rate this quarter?”
  • “Show me pipeline trends for the last 90 days”

​
Find What’s Working

  • “Which use cases have the highest win rate?”
  • “What should I be leading with in enterprise deals?”
  • “Show me our top performing value drivers”

​
Get Deal Details

  • “Show me the full business case for Snowflake”
  • “What’s the value story for the Stripe deal?”
  • “Pull up the ROI breakdown for Acme”

​
Explore Your Value Framework

  • “What use cases do we have?”
  • “Show me our ROI calculations”
  • “What value drivers can I use?”

​
Create a Business Case

  • “Create a business case for Stripe — enterprise fintech”
  • “Set up a BC for a mid-market healthcare company called MedTech”
  • “I have a call with Notion tomorrow — build me a business case”
When you ask ChatGPT to create a business case, it will:
  1. Find or create the account in Minoa
  2. Analyze which use cases win in similar deals
  3. Add the best-fit use cases automatically
  4. Generate an AI value hypothesis
  5. Give you a link to the new business case

​
Disconnecting

To revoke ChatGPT’s access to your Minoa data, open Settings → Connectors, find Minoa, and remove it.

​
Technical Reference

ChatGPT connects over the same OAuth-secured MCP endpoint as every other client, and sees the same permission-checked toolset. For the full capability list, guided workflows, and the role-by-role permission breakdown, see the Minoa MCP Server reference.

​
Security

  • All requests are authenticated via OAuth and scoped to your Minoa workspace
  • ChatGPT inherits your Minoa role — it can read and change exactly what you can in the web app. Admin-only capabilities, such as editing the value framework, aren’t offered to a non-admin’s client at all
  • Your authorization can be revoked by removing the connector from ChatGPT
See Permissions and Governance for the full role breakdown.

​
Troubleshooting

​
I don’t see “Connectors” in Settings

Custom connectors require a supported plan (Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu), and on team workspaces an admin may need to enable them (Developer mode). Check with your workspace admin, or reach out to support@minoa.io.

​
ChatGPT doesn’t use the Minoa tools

Make sure the Minoa connector is enabled for the conversation, then ask a direct question like “Show me my open business cases”. If tools still aren’t used, remove and re-add the connector to trigger a fresh sign-in.

​
”Tools suddenly stop working” / access errors

This usually means your authorization has expired. Remove the Minoa connector and add it again to sign in fresh.

​
Need Help?

If you’re having trouble connecting, try removing and re-adding the Minoa connector. For anything else, reach out to support@minoa.io.
