Admin MCP Onboarding

HoneyGrid Admin MCP Onboarding

This guide shows operations team members how to connect HoneyGrid Admin tools to ChatGPT or Claude.

What you need

Before you start, make sure you have:

A HoneyGrid Admin account.
Permission to use the Admin MCP tools you need.
Access to ChatGPT or Claude.
Permission to add a custom app or connector in that client.

If a setup option is unavailable, ask your ChatGPT or Claude workspace admin to enable it. If sign-in or tools are blocked, ask a HoneyGrid admin to check your Admin MCP access.

Production MCP URL

Use this URL for both ChatGPT and Claude:

https://admin.honeygrid.ai/mcp

Set up ChatGPT

ChatGPT manages custom MCP servers as developer-mode apps. See OpenAI’s current ChatGPT connection guide.

Open ChatGPT.
Go to Settings → Security and login and enable Developer mode.
Go to Settings → Plugins, or open https://chatgpt.com/plugins.
Select the plus button to create a developer-mode app.
Enter this name:
```
HoneyGrid Admin
```

Enter a short description, such as:

HoneyGrid administration tools for authorized operations work.

Paste the MCP server URL:
```
https://admin.honeygrid.ai/mcp
```
Choose OAuth if ChatGPT asks for an authentication method.
Select Create, then follow any Connect prompt.
Sign in with HoneyGrid/Stytch and approve access.
If ChatGPT shows a redirect URL that needs approval, send it to the HoneyGrid Admin owner.

Test ChatGPT

After connecting, ask ChatGPT:

List the HoneyGrid Admin tools you can use.

Then try:

Show the HoneyGrid Admin MCP audit summary.

If tools appear, setup worked.

Set up Claude

Claude and Claude Desktop use account-managed remote connectors. See Anthropic’s current custom connector guide.

Individual Claude account

Use these steps if your account lets you add custom connectors:

Open Claude.
Go to Customize → Connectors.
Select the plus button, then Add custom connector.
Name it:
```
HoneyGrid Admin
```
Paste the MCP URL:
```
https://admin.honeygrid.ai/mcp
```
Select Add, then Connect.
Sign in with HoneyGrid/Stytch and approve access.
If Claude shows a redirect URL that needs approval, send it to the HoneyGrid Admin owner.

Claude Team or Enterprise workspace

Only a workspace Owner or Primary Owner can add a custom connector to the organization:

Ask an owner to open Organization settings → Connectors.
Select Add, then Custom → Web.
Enter the production MCP URL:
```
https://admin.honeygrid.ai/mcp
```
After the owner adds it, open Customize → Connectors.
Find HoneyGrid Admin, select Connect, then sign in and approve access.

Use this remote connector flow in Claude Desktop too. Do not add the production URL to claude_desktop_config.json; Claude Desktop does not connect to remote servers configured there.

Test Claude

After connecting, ask Claude:

List the HoneyGrid Admin tools you can use.

Then try:

Show the HoneyGrid Admin MCP audit summary.

If tools appear, setup worked.

Common issues

Issue	What to do
You cannot add the app or connector	Ask your ChatGPT workspace admin to allow Developer mode, or ask a Claude workspace owner to add the connector.
Sign-in does not open	Disconnect and reconnect the connector.
You see no HoneyGrid tools	Ask an admin to confirm your MCP permissions.
A tool says you do not have access	Ask an admin for the specific provider access you need, such as HoneyGrid Ads, Google Ads, CallRail, Meta, Stripe, or Twilio.
A write action is blocked	Confirm you are allowed to make changes in production.
A destructive production action is blocked	A separate approved user must approve the action first.
ChatGPT or Claude still fails after access changes	Disconnect and reconnect the connector so it gets fresh permissions.

Safety reminder

These tools can access production admin systems. Use read-only requests unless you are intentionally making a change. Destructive production actions require separate approval.
