# How to connect ChatGPT to Tarkle

Add Tarkle to ChatGPT as a connector, sign in, approve access and test it with one prompt.

Connect ChatGPT to Tarkle so ChatGPT can list your workspaces and files, upload files and create public share links for you. ChatGPT connects through the [Tarkle MCP server](https://tarkle.com/features/mcp-server) and signs in to Tarkle in your browser, so you do not create an API key for it.

## Before you start

ChatGPT acts as the person who signs in, and it works only within the workspaces that person belongs to. Its actions are limited to what that person's role allows in each workspace. For what each role can do, see [Teams, roles and sharing files with your team](https://tarkle.com/help/team-and-clients/teams-roles-and-sharing-files-with-your-team).

## Add Tarkle to ChatGPT

1. In ChatGPT, add a custom connector. It is an MCP server.
2. Enter the server address `https://mcp.tarkle.com/mcp`.
3. Finish adding the connector. ChatGPT then opens Tarkle in your browser.
4. If Tarkle asks you to sign in, sign in with your Tarkle account.
5. On the page that asks whether to allow the app to use Tarkle, check the email under **Signed in as**. Click **Allow** to approve, or **Deny** to stop.

The page lists what the app can do: list your workspaces and files, upload files into a workspace you can share from, and create public share links for those files. Once you click **Allow**, ChatGPT can use these actions in your name.

## Test the connection

Open a new chat in ChatGPT and send this prompt:

_List my Tarkle workspaces._

A list of your workspaces means the connection works.

## Confirm before a public link is created

Creating a public share link works in two steps. The first request describes the link and creates nothing. ChatGPT asks you to agree, and it creates the link only after you do. A public share link is the same kind of link as a [file transfer](https://tarkle.com/help/file-sharing/how-to-create-a-file-transfer). Tarkle sends no email when a link is created, so you send the link yourself.

## Upload files from ChatGPT

Through the connector, ChatGPT can upload files of up to 5 GB. The plan's per-file limit still applies: Free allows up to 1 GB for each file, and Pro and Agency allow files up to 200 GB (see [Tarkle plans and pricing](https://tarkle.com/pricing)).

For a file larger than 5 GB, ChatGPT gives you a link to Tarkle's upload page. Open the link, choose the files from your device and wait until they finish. The page says: "Choose files from this device. When they finish, go back to your assistant and ask it to create the share link." Uploads on that page follow your plan's limit, not the 5 GB limit.

## Disconnect ChatGPT

To stop ChatGPT from using Tarkle, remove the Tarkle connector from ChatGPT. ChatGPT signs in through your browser and uses no API key, so deleting an API key does not disconnect it.

ChatGPT needs no API key. Only the owner and admins of your organization can see and make API keys, in [Settings, API](https://tarkle.com/dashboard/settings/api). A member who needs a key for another tool asks an owner or admin to make it. Developers can read the [MCP server documentation](https://tarkle.com/docs/mcp).

## What happens next

After the test, ask ChatGPT to find a file in one of your workspaces, or to create a share link for a file. ChatGPT asks you to confirm before the public link is created.
