How ChatGPT (developer mode) reaches your HighLevel account

BridgeCatalog

Header bridge. Uses a small proxy you host that adds HighLevel's auth headers, because the app only accepts a URL.

Connector catalog. Reaches HighLevel through a Zapier or Composio connector you sign into with OAuth. No HighLevel token is pasted anywhere.

Set up ChatGPT (developer mode) with HighLevel in 3 steps

1. Turn on Developer mode (Settings → Security, or Apps & Connectors → Advanced).
2. Create an MCP app and paste your bridge URL.
3. Enable the app from the + menu in a new chat.

Header bridge (Cloudflare Worker)

// Cloudflare Worker that adds HighLevel's headers for URL-only connectors
// wrangler secret put GHL_PIT / GHL_LOC / BRIDGE_KEY
export default {
  async fetch(req, env) {
    const url = new URL(req.url);
    if (url.searchParams.get("k") !== env.BRIDGE_KEY)
      return new Response("Forbidden", { status: 403 });
    const h = new Headers(req.headers);
    h.set("Authorization", "Bearer " + env.GHL_PIT);
    h.set("locationId", env.GHL_LOC);
    h.delete("host");
    return fetch("https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/", { method: req.method, headers: h, body: req.body });
  }
};
// Connector URL: https://ghl-bridge.<you>.workers.dev/?k=<BRIDGE_KEY>

Create the token in the sub-account under Settings → Private Integrations. Keep it in your environment, a secure prompt or the tool's credential store; never paste it into a shared file.
