ChatGPT desktop browser can call site tools via WebMCP, no separate setup needed
dkundel · x · 2026-09-03
- OpenAI engineer dkundel playfully corrects @jxnlco while explaining ChatGPT's site tools (WebMCP) feature: supported websites can hand the model work and Codex tools directly inside the desktop app's built-in browser, with no separate connection required.
- How to use it: on supported accounts, open a supported site in the desktop app's built-in browser; the address-bar arrow shows the tools that site exposes.
- The joke stems from the cited tweet linking to the help center instead of the developer docs.
