ChatGPT and LotsLink: questions
How do I connect ChatGPT to LotsLink?
In ChatGPT on the web, go to Plugins, select +, then Add custom MCP server. Name it LotsLink, enter https://api.lots.link/mcp under Connection, choose OAuth, tick I understand and want to continue and select Create as a plugin. Install it, sign in, then in a new chat type @, select LotsLink and ask “List my LotsLink workspaces”. Adding a custom connector with full read and write depends on your ChatGPT plan, and on some plans only admins can add one. Check OpenAI’s current plan details.
Can I connect LotsLink with a Free or Go ChatGPT account?
Adding a custom connector with full read and write depends on your ChatGPT plan, and on some plans only admins can add one. Check OpenAI’s current plan details. You can also connect LotsLink to Claude or another MCP agent.
Do I need an API key to use LotsLink with ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT signs in to LotsLink in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.
What does LotsLink cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lots.link/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Can I change where a printed QR code goes?
Yes. Your agent changes the link’s destination and the short URL and QR code stay the same, so printed codes keep working and keep counting scans. The change reaches every visitor at once.
Can my agent delete my links?
When you ask it to. Switching a link off is the choice you can undo; deleting is permanent and removes the link’s click statistics and QR codes. Your agent works in your role: members change their own links, owners and admins change any link, and viewers read only.
What do the click analytics include?
Recorded visits by link or workspace, with source, device and approximate location when available. Known bots, previews and prefetches are not counted.
