Connect ChatGPT to Brickway
Use ChatGPT's developer mode to create a private MCP app for Brickway, scan its read-only tools, and enable it in a chat.
Set up ChatGPT
Brickway remote MCP server
https://api.brickway.app/mcp- In ChatGPT web, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode. If that control is absent or restricted, ask your workspace administrator about its developer-mode policy.
- Open Settings → Plugins, choose +, and create a developer-mode app for a remote MCP server.
- Enter the Brickway MCP URL shown above, choose OAuth, and use DCR/public-client discovery—not static credentials. Complete Brickway sign-in and collection approval, then wait for the nine read-only tools to appear.
- Open a new conversation, choose Developer mode from the Plus menu, and select Brickway. A managed workspace may also require admin review or publication before other members can use it.
Brickway advertises offline refresh access and issues rotating refresh tokens for this connection. If setup instead demands a client ID or secret, stop: Brickway deliberately does not issue confidential client secrets to AI apps.
What happens during authorization
The AI app opens Brickway in your browser. Brickway shows the requesting application and its exact return address, then asks you to sign in and choose which collections it may read. The AI app receives a Brickway-only MCP credential—never your Brickway sign-in token or Supabase session.
Never paste an API key, Supabase token, Brickway session, client secret, or custom Authorization header into the AI app. A compatible host discovers Brickway's public OAuth flow from the server URL.
What ChatGPT can ask
- List only the collections you selected when connecting
- Summarize sets, minifigures, ownership, build states, brands, and locations
- Search your collection and inspect one item's safe catalog and build context
- Find duplicate copies and collectible-minifigure series gaps
- Compare LEGO theme progress and review bounded build history
- Search Brickway's global LEGO and alt-brick set catalog
Prompts to try
- “Do I own Rivendell, and how many copies do I have?”
- “Which sealed sets under 1,000 pieces could I build this weekend?”
- “Show my duplicate sets and loose minifigures.”
- “Which LEGO themes am I closest to completing?”
- “Summarize what I built this year and how long it took.”
Change access or disconnect
In Brickway, open Settings → AI connections. You can change this app's selected collections, disconnect it, or disconnect every AI app. Brickway revocation takes effect immediately even if ChatGPT still displays the old connection.
The AI app processes tool inputs and results under its own terms, retention, and training policies. Brickway excludes email addresses, household members, prices paid, sellers, acquisition sources, private notes, OAuth details, and internal database fields. The connector cannot add, edit, or delete anything. Read Brickway's privacy policy for details.
