Add Salient to ChatGPT¶

Connect Salient's MCP server to ChatGPT for AI-powered tabletop exercise management directly in OpenAI's interface.

Requirements¶

• ChatGPT Pro, Plus, Business, or Enterprise plan
• A Salient MCP server exposed over HTTPS (see Remote Setup)

Step 1: Enable Developer Mode¶

1. Open ChatGPT Settings
2. Navigate to Workspace Settings > Permissions
3. Enable Developer Mode

Step 2: Create an MCP App¶

1. Go to ChatGPT Apps settings (or visit chatgpt.com/gpts/mine)
2. Click Create App
3. Select MCP Server as the app type
4. Enter your Salient MCP server URL:

https://your-salient-host/mcp

1. Add authentication headers if your remote server requires them
2. Save and enable the app

Step 3: Use in Chat¶

Once the app is enabled, start a new conversation and mention Salient tools:

"List my tabletop scenarios" "Query the digital twin for our MFA coverage" "Run a posture assessment"

ChatGPT will invoke Salient tools through the MCP connection.

Programmatic Access via Responses API¶

For automation, use OpenAI's Responses API with MCP tools:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()

response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-4.1",
    tools=[{
        "type": "mcp",
        "server_label": "salient",
        "server_url": "https://your-salient-host/mcp",
        "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer your-salient-token"
        }
    }],
    input="List all tabletop exercise scenarios"
)

print(response.output_text)
