Connect InsiderAlpha to ChatGPT

For ChatGPT on the web, create a developer mode app and select it in your conversation. If you are adding a server in the OpenAI desktop app or Codex CLI, use the Codex setup guide instead.

Server URL
https://mcp.insideralpha.ai/mcp

Choose Streamable HTTP and OAuth sign-in if asked. Use this full URL, including /mcp. A free InsiderAlpha account is enough to connect. Sign up free · Manage AI access

Setup in ChatGPT

  1. Enable developer mode

    In ChatGPT settings, open Security and login and turn on Developer mode. Availability depends on your plan and workspace settings; see the official OpenAI guide linked below.

  2. Create a developer mode app

    Open Plugins in ChatGPT, select the plus button, and create an app named InsiderAlpha.

  3. Add the server URL and choose OAuth

    Use the complete URL below. Leave optional OAuth client credentials empty. If asked for client registration, InsiderAlpha supports Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD) and dynamic registration.

    In a new chat, open the plus menu, choose Developer mode, and select InsiderAlpha. Ask it to show recent insider purchases for a ticker with SEC filing sources.

ChatGPT troubleshooting

Failure modes specific to this client, and what is actually going on.

I am adding a server in the desktop app

Use the Codex guide linked below for Settings, then MCP servers. This page covers the ChatGPT web developer mode flow.

The app is connected but ChatGPT does not use it

Select InsiderAlpha from Developer mode in the conversation's plus menu. Ask explicitly to use InsiderAlpha and include a ticker or company name.

Developer mode is missing

Check the current OpenAI eligibility list and your workspace administrator's settings. Availability is controlled by OpenAI and your workspace.

Good to know

  • InsiderAlpha is a hosted HTTPS server. No local bridge or tunnel is needed.
  • Developer mode can use InsiderAlpha's research tools directly; tools named search and fetch are not required for this flow.

What the server exposes

19 tools in total: 14 read-only research, market and portfolio tools, plus 5 that act on a connected broker account and are switched off unless you explicitly enable them. The full list, the scopes and the rate limits are the same whichever client you use, so they live in one place: the MCP server reference.

Setting up a different client

ChatGPT setup steps verified against OpenAI documentation: ChatGPT Developer mode on 2026-09-08. ChatGPT controls its own interface and can change it without notice, so if a menu name here does not match what you see, trust their documentation over ours and tell us.

InsiderAlpha returns SEC filing data and research output. It is informational and is not investment advice, and nothing it returns is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. You are responsible for every order placed from your own account.
