AnythingMCP's plugin in ChatGPT's directory answers questions from your company databases on AnythingMCP Cloud (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, SAP HANA, SQLite, MongoDB, read-only): open the listing (opens in a new tab) and click Install plugin. Every other connector is added to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server with your AnythingMCP MCP URL.

Zabbix + ChatGPT

Zabbix monitoring: hosts, host groups, items, triggers, active problems, events and the latest measured values. JSON-RPC API over a single endpoint, bearer API 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:

ZABBIX_URL, ZABBIX_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

Getting a token (requires Zabbix 6.4 or newer)

  1. Sign in to the Zabbix frontend as a Super admin and open Users → API tokens.
  2. Create a token for a user with read permission on the host groups the agent should see, and copy the value — Zabbix shows it once.
  3. Set ZABBIX_URL to your frontend root (no trailing slash, no /api_jsonrpc.php) and ZABBIX_API_TOKEN to the token. The adapter sends it as Authorization: Bearer …, which Zabbix accepts from 6.4 on. Zabbix 5.4–6.2 only take the token in the JSON-RPC auth field, which this adapter does not use, so every call there fails with "Not authorised".

…(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 shows YOUR_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.

  1. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click Add, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter a name, e.g. Name: Zabbix.
  3. Under Connection, enter the Server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID and keep Authentication on OAuth.
  4. Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP and allow access.
  5. Install the new plugin from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and pick it.

FAQ

Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP servers? OpenAI documents custom MCP servers for paid plans only; the Free plan is not on its list.
