GLPI + ChatGPT
GLPI open-source ITSM and asset management: tickets, computers, monitors, software, users and entities, plus GLPI's search engine. REST API on your own instance, session-token auth with an App-Token.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
GLPI_URL, GLPI_APP_TOKEN, GLPI_USER_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
GLPI needs two tokens, and both are easy to confuse.
- App-Token — identifies the application. In GLPI go to Setup → General → API, enable 'Enable Rest API' and 'Enable login with external token', add an API client, and copy its application token. Put it in
GLPI_APP_TOKEN. - User-Token — identifies the person. Open the GLPI user the agent should act as, go to the API tab of their profile, and regenerate the remote access key (personal API token). Put it in
GLPI_USER_TOKEN. - Set
GLPI_URLto the instance root (no trailing slash); the adapter appends/apirest.php.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT adds MCP servers as plugins on its Plugins page, on the web and on paid plans. Developer mode is no longer needed. In a Business workspace only admins and owners can add one; in Enterprise and Edu an admin can grant the Create plugins with MCPs permission.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click Add, then Add custom MCP server.
- Enter a name, e.g. Name:
GLPI. - Under Connection, enter the Server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand keep Authentication on OAuth. - Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP and allow access.
- Install the new plugin from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and pick it.
