# How to Connect Noiz Mail to ChatGPT

This guide adds Noiz Mail to ChatGPT so it can work with your Noiz mailbox. ChatGPT adds custom MCP servers as plugins, on the ChatGPT website, and uses them in a chat when you mention them by name.

**Last reviewed:** 4 November 2026, against the current ChatGPT release and the live Noiz Mail connector. OpenAI changes plan rules and menu names from time to time; where its page differs from this guide, its page is right.

### Official Documentation Reference

- [MCP servers and connectors (OpenAI developer documentation)](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/mcp): what a custom MCP server is and OpenAI's warning about them.
- [Connected apps in ChatGPT (OpenAI)](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11487775): how connectors behave in a chat.

## Prerequisites

- A Noiz mailbox and its password. Several mailboxes? See [How to Connect Several Mailboxes in One Noiz Mail Connection](/noiz-mail/how-to-connect-several-mailboxes-in-one-noiz-mail-connection/) first, because the list is pasted during the first sign-in.
- A ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu account. On other plans, check whether yours offers custom MCP servers. In a workspace, the admin may need to allow it first (see Troubleshooting).

## Adding the Connector

1. Go to **chatgpt.com/plugins** in a web browser.
2. Click **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.
3. Enter the address `https://mcp.noiz.co.za/mail`. If asked for a name, use **Noiz Mail**.
4. The Noiz page **Connect your mailbox** opens. Enter your mailbox address and password and click **Connect**.
5. ChatGPT shows its standard warning about custom servers. Accept it, then click **Create as a plugin** and install the plugin.

## Using It in a Chat

Type **@Noiz Mail** followed by what you want: "@Noiz Mail summarise what came in from Acme this week". ChatGPT uses the connector only for that message, so mention it again when a follow-up needs it to look something up or act. When you ask it to send, it shows you the message and asks you to approve it before anything goes out. Every tool it can use is in the [tools reference](/noiz-mail/noiz-mail-tools-reference/).

## Disconnecting

In **Settings**, then **Plugins**, open **Noiz Mail** and choose **Disconnect**. All the ways to end a connection are in [How to Disconnect or Remove Noiz Mail](/noiz-mail/how-to-disconnect-or-remove-noiz-mail/).

## Troubleshooting

- **Symptom: "Add custom MCP server" is missing in a workspace.** Ask your workspace admin. The setting is under **Workspace settings**, then **Permissions & roles**, with the permission **Create plugins with MCPs**.
- **Symptom: "Address or password incorrect."** Use your full email address and your mail password. After five wrong attempts, sign-in pauses for up to 15 minutes.

Every message the sign-in page can show is explained in [Noiz Mail Troubleshooting](/noiz-mail/noiz-mail-troubleshooting/).
