How to: ChatGPT CREW / CrewPay crew_launch

client:ChatGPT transport:streamable-http tool:crew_launch

Add CREW / CrewPay to ChatGPT

  1. 01

    Open Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

https://mcp.crewpay.dev/mcp
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart ChatGPT.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that CREW / CrewPay'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

Set these first

CREW / CrewPay will not start until these are set, so crew_launch never becomes available.

  • CREW_AGENT_API_KEY
  • CREW_LAUNCHER_KEY
  • CREW_API_URL
  • CREWPAY_REFERRAL_CODE
  • X402_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 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.
