NetworkOS in ChatGPT

Add the NetworkOS connector to ChatGPT with Developer Mode and work with your network from any conversation — with worked examples.

What the connector does

The NetworkOS connector brings your relationship graph into ChatGPT. Once it's added, you can ask about anyone you know, search your contacts, log notes and tags, see introductions in flight, and draft and send warm introductions from your own Gmail — all without leaving the conversation. It's the same connector that works in Claude, and the same capabilities as the in-app assistant, available wherever you use ChatGPT.

Why Developer Mode?

ChatGPT's Developer Mode is what unlocks the full NetworkOS connector — all of its tools and interactive cards — inside a normal conversation. Without it, ChatGPT only accepts read-only “search” connectors, which can't draft an intro, log a note, or open a contact card. Developer Mode is a beta feature on ChatGPT's paid plans; you enable it once, then add NetworkOS as a custom connector.

Add NetworkOS to ChatGPT

  1. Turn on Developer Mode in ChatGPT

    In ChatGPT (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu), open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and enable Developer mode. Custom connectors aren't available on the free plan.

  2. Create the NetworkOS connector

    Under Apps & Connectors, choose "Create" (or "Add custom connector"), name it "Network OS", and paste the server URL: https://beta.thenetworkos.com/api/mcp. Choose OAuth for authentication.

  3. Authorize with Google

    ChatGPT opens the NetworkOS sign-in. Approve access with the same Google account you use for NetworkOS. ChatGPT never sees your password, and you can revoke access anytime from the connector's settings.

  4. Enable it in a chat and ask

    In any conversation, click the "+" in the message box and pick Network OS, then ask — ChatGPT calls the right tool and shows the result inline as an interactive card.

Worked examples

Each example below is a prompt you can paste into ChatGPT once the connector is enabled for the chat. NetworkOS responds with an interactive card you can act on inline.

You ask

“Using NetworkOS, show me my network insights.”

NetworkOS responds

A network-insights card with the headline numbers — total contacts, companies, introductions in flight, and notes added this period — so you can see the shape of your network at a glance.

Tools usedget_network_insights

You ask

“Search my NetworkOS contacts for people who work at Google.”

NetworkOS responds

A contact picker you can scroll through — each match with role, company, relationship warmth, and how you know them. Pick someone to dig in or to start an introduction.

Tools usedsearch_contactsquery_contacts

You ask

“Draft an intro between Alex and Jordan for a partnership.”

NetworkOS responds

An intro-confirm card showing both people side by side with an editable, AI-written draft. Adjust the consent model, tweak the wording, and send it from your own Gmail — all from the card.

Tools usedcreate_introduction_draftsend_introduction_email

You ask

“Show me Jordan's detail card, and add a note that we met at the summit.”

NetworkOS responds

A full contact card — role, company, relationship strength, recent touchpoints, notes, and tags — with your new note saved straight to their profile in NetworkOS.

What you can ask for

The connector exposes read tools for finding and reviewing — searching contacts and companies, finding intro opportunities, network insights, listing notes, tags, and introductions — and write tools for acting: creating and updating contacts, adding notes and tags, drafting and sending introductions, and recording outcomes. Read tools run on their own; anything that sends an email or changes your data is shown to you to confirm first.

Read tools: search_contacts, query_contacts, search_companies, list_companies, find_intro_opportunities, get_network_insights, get_contact_detail, list_contact_notes, list_tags, list_introductions, get_introduction.

Write tools: create_contact, update_contact, archive_contact, add_contact_note, update_contact_note, delete_contact_note, create_tag, add_contact_tag, remove_contact_tag, create_introduction_draft, regenerate_introduction_drafts, send_introduction_email, mark_introduction_outcome.

Troubleshooting

The connector isn't showing up in a chat — custom connectors are enabled per conversation. Click the + in the message box and pick Network OS. If it isn't listed, confirm Developer Mode is still on under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings.

“Unable to reach The Network OS” or a sign-in loop — ChatGPT lost its OAuth token for the connector. Reconnect to fix it:

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors.
  2. Find Network OS, open it, and disconnect / remove it.
  3. Re-create the connector and paste https://beta.thenetworkos.com/api/mcp again.
  4. Authorize with the same Google account you use for NetworkOS.
  5. Start a new chat and enable the connector from the + menu.

If the same error keeps coming back within a session, email support@thenetworkos.com with the request_id shown in the error — we'll check the OAuth refresh path on our end.

Privacy in ChatGPT

The connector respects the same boundaries as the app: NetworkOS sends introductions from your own Gmail and reads only the threads it started. Nothing else in your inbox is touched, and message contents aren't stored. See Privacy & your data for details, or disconnect anytime from ChatGPT's connector settings.
