details to know

  • path a (recommended, paid hyv): remote oauth on the web — no local install
  • developer mode requires plus, pro, business, enterprise, or education
  • print full chatgpt steps anytime: hyv mcp --setup-chatgpt
  • path b (free / offline scan): install hyv, then local stdio connector — see mac/windows steps below

limits and edge cases

  • a chat prompt alone cannot create the connector — you must use settings
  • the elevated risk warning in chatgpt is normal — not a hyv error
  • if tools never fire, enable the app for this chat via + → developer mode
  • if you only see connectors (no create app), use path b after installing hyv
