# Connect to ChatGPT

> Set up Arlo Health as an MCP connector in ChatGPT on the web

## Overview

You can connect Arlo Health directly to [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com) on the web, giving ChatGPT access to the Arlo Health MCP. Once connected, you can ask ChatGPT to help you with healthcare consultations, prescriptions, and more — all within the chat interface.

<Tip>
  You can ask ChatGPT to share relevant past conversation context for you. This way your provider can understand the full situation without having to re-explain yourself.
</Tip>

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open ChatGPT Settings">
    Go to [chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com) and click your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Developer Mode">
    Click **Apps** in the left sidebar, then open **Advanced settings** and turn on **Developer mode**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a New App">
    Click **Create app** to set up a new MCP connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the App">
    Fill in the following details:

    | Field              | Value                                                                               |
    | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Name**           | `Arlo Health`                                                                       |
    | **Description**    | `Connect with a healthcare provider for labs, prescriptions, and general questions` |
    | **MCP Server URL** | `https://mcp.arlohealth.ai`                                                         |
    | **Authentication** | `OAuth`                                                                             |

    Save the app when you're done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate">
    When you first use an Arlo Health tool, ChatGPT will prompt you to authenticate. You'll be redirected to complete the OAuth sign-up/sign-in flow, then returned to your conversation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Usage

Once connected, you can interact with Arlo Health naturally in any ChatGPT conversation. Try prompts like:

* "I've had a sore throat for 3 days, can you help me see a doctor?"
* "Can you summarize this information and send it to Arlo for my provider?"
* "What did the doctor prescribe me, and what's the status of my prescription?"
* "What medications am I on according to my insurance records?"

You can also tag the connector with `@ArloHealth` in conversation to explicitly trigger the tool.

ChatGPT will automatically use the appropriate Arlo Health tools based on your request.

<Tip>
  For the best experience, describe your symptoms in detail. Rich context helps the AI triage system work faster and reduces follow-up questions.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  For medical emergencies, call 911. Arlo Health is designed for non-emergency healthcare consultations.
</Warning>
