Connect explainx.ai to ChatGPT
Add explainx.ai as a custom app under Apps & Connectors.
ChatGPT's Apps & Connectors settings let you register a remote MCP server as a custom app, which typically requires developer mode for connectors outside OpenAI's built-in list. Once explainx.ai is added, you can bring it into a chat with the app picker to search news, prices, and directory listings.

Why does ChatGPT ask me to enable developer mode first?
OpenAI gates custom, non-reviewed MCP connectors behind developer mode so you explicitly opt in before an app outside ChatGPT's built-in connector list can run. It's a one-time toggle in Apps & Connectors settings.
