Dr. Canary

Bring the bird into ChatGPT.

Connect Dr. Canary to ChatGPT in three steps, in ChatGPT’s own labels.

The path ends at the Dr. Canary sign-in, where you see what the connection can read and change before you approve it. Then ask your assistant to list your Dr. Canary sites.

What you approve at the Dr. Canary sign-in

The page is titled Connect ChatGPT. Sign-in returns to chatgpt.com. It says the connection uses your full Dr. Canary account permissions, then lists what it can do.

  • Read your account: the sites, saved shoppers, checks and reports you can already access.
  • Manage secret shoppers: create or edit them, set their calendar, or retire them. Saving does not start a check.
  • Request site checks: checks may submit test inquiries and use your current allowance.

Choose Allow connection to finish, or Deny to stop.

Ask your assistant

If ChatGPT loses the connection

  1. Open Settings › Plugins › Dr. Canary and review Connected accounts or Connection to check it is the intended account.

  2. Give ChatGPT the chance to renew an expired sign-in on its own. Choose Reconnect only when that cannot recover it.

  3. To stop using the connection, open the account’s more-options menu and choose Disconnect. Other connected accounts can stay active.

  4. Uninstalling the plugin and disconnecting the account are separate steps.

The connection

  • Server URLhttps://www.drcanary.com/api/mcp/
  • Scopemcp
  • TransportStreamable HTTP
  • Sign-inOAuth 2.1 with PKCE, your Dr. Canary account

What it does not do

  • Your account’s permissions apply. What you cannot do in the portal, your assistant cannot do either.
  • Your assistant follows its app’s approval controls for changes and checks.
  • It reads what the report shows. Hidden prompts, internal notes, and other accounts stay out.

Questions

Where is the setting in ChatGPT?

Plugins, on chatgpt.com: press + and choose Add custom MCP server. Afterwards, Settings › Plugins › Dr. Canary holds the connection controls.

Which ChatGPT workspace can add it?

One that allows custom apps. ChatGPT’s workspace settings decide that, not Dr. Canary.

Which URL do I paste?

Paste https://www.drcanary.com/api/mcp/. It is the same server URL for every app. Choose OAuth for authentication.

It did not open the Dr. Canary sign-in.

Install the plugin, then press Connect. Sign in to Dr. Canary in the browser and choose Allow connection.

How do I disconnect ChatGPT?

Open Settings › Plugins › Dr. Canary, then the account’s more-options menu, and choose Disconnect. Disconnecting does not delete what ChatGPT already received.

Give your assistant something to read.

A checkup is one report. Monitoring keeps the bird shopping your site on a schedule, so there is a fresh report every time you ask.
