ChatGPT connects to Taskavel with OAuth. You add Taskavel as a custom MCP connector, sign in to Taskavel, and approve access. ChatGPT then works as your Taskavel user, inside your projects and your role.
Add Taskavel as a connector
In ChatGPT, open the settings for apps and connectors and create a custom connector. Depending on your ChatGPT plan, custom connectors may require developer mode or a workspace admin. Use these values:
- Name: Taskavel
- MCP server URL:
https://taskavel.com/mcp/taskavel - Authentication: OAuth
ChatGPT's menus change from time to time. If the names above differ, follow OpenAI's current documentation for custom MCP connectors and keep the same URL and OAuth authentication.
Approve access in Taskavel
When you save the connector, ChatGPT opens a Taskavel approval page. Sign in with the account you want ChatGPT to use and approve the connection. Taskavel then lists ChatGPT under the connected agents in Account Settings → AI Integration (MCP).
Check the connection
Start a new chat, enable the Taskavel connector, and ask: “List my Taskavel projects.” Then try a small change in a named project, for example: “In Website, add a comment to task #42 saying the review is complete.” ChatGPT asks you to confirm actions that change data.
Work within an explicit scope
Name the project and the task in your request. Taskavel enforces your project role through MCP, so an OAuth connection cannot do more than your own account can.
See Manage OAuth connections for reviewing and disconnecting clients, and security and revocation for safe credential handling.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a personal access token for ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT connects with OAuth. You sign in to Taskavel and approve the connection, and no token is copied into ChatGPT.
Which account does ChatGPT act as?
The Taskavel user who approved the connection. It follows that user's projects, memberships and role, so it cannot reach projects you are not a member of.
What should I try first?
Start with a request that only reads, such as “List my Taskavel projects.” When that works, ask for a small change in a named project, for example a comment on one task.
How do I disconnect ChatGPT?
Open Account Settings → AI Integration (MCP) in Taskavel and select Disconnect next to ChatGPT. You can also remove the connector in ChatGPT.
