  1. 02

    Save the file and restart ChatGPT.

  2. 03

    Ask for something openfec_search_filings does. ChatGPT lists the server's tools on connect and calls openfec_search_filings itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that openfec mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Custom connectors are a paid-plan feature and take a remote URL only. ChatGPT cannot run a packaged server locally. ChatGPT docs

openfec mcp server will not start until these are set, so openfec_search_filings never becomes available.

  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
