# ChatGPT Custom GPT — Hermes MCP Setup Guide
**Server:** `https://hermes.squaremcp.com`
---
## What you'll build
A Custom GPT in ChatGPT that can:
- Send emails via your 7 accounts
- Search and edit your Obsidian vault notes
- Send WhatsApp messages (when credentialed)
- Post to LinkedIn
- Send Telegram messages
- Post to Discord servers
- Post to Instagram (when credentialed)
---
## Step 1: Register an OAuth client
Hermes MCP uses OAuth 2.0 for ChatGPT authentication.
Run this curl to register a ChatGPT client:
```bash
curl -X POST "https://hermes.squaremcp.com/oauth/register" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"client_name": "ChatGPT Custom GPT",
"redirect_uris": ["https://chat.openai.com/aip/[YOUR_GPT_ID]/oauth/callback"]
}'
```
**Save the response:**
- `client_id`
- `client_secret`
---
## Step 2: Get the OpenAPI schema
Your server's OpenAPI spec is live at:
```
https://hermes.squaremcp.com/openapi.json
```
ChatGPT will import this to know which endpoints are available.
---
## Step 3: Create the Custom GPT
1. Go to [chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com) → **Explore GPTs****Create**
2. Configure:
- **Name:** `Hermes Assistant`
- **Description:** `Your personal AI assistant with access to email, notes, and social media`
### Actions setup
3. Click **Actions****Import from URL**
4. Paste: `https://hermes.squaremcp.com/openapi.json`
5. Click **Authentication****OAuth**
- **Client ID:** (from Step 1)
- **Client Secret:** (from Step 1)
- **Authorization URL:** `https://hermes.squaremcp.com/oauth/authorize`
- **Token URL:** `https://hermes.squaremcp.com/oauth/token`
- **Scope:** `email profile`
- **Token Exchange Method:** `Default (POST request)`
6. Click **Update** to save the OAuth config
### Privacy settings
7. Scroll to **Privacy** → toggle off if you don't want OpenAI training on your data
---
## Step 4: Test the GPT
Ask your GPT:
- "Send an email to team@fetcherpay.com saying the meeting is at 2pm"
- "Search my Obsidian notes for 'funding strategy'"
- "Post 'Hello world' to my LinkedIn"
- "Send a Telegram message to Garfield"
---
## Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| "Authentication failed" | Re-register the OAuth client with the correct redirect URI |
| "Tool not found" | Check that the endpoint is listed in `/openapi.json` |
| "Unauthorized" | The GPT's token expired — re-authenticate in ChatGPT settings |
---
## Current tool availability
| Tool | Status |
|------|--------|
| Email (7 accounts) | ✅ Ready |
| Obsidian vault | ✅ Ready |
| LinkedIn profile/posts | ✅ Ready (token deployed) |
| Telegram messaging | ✅ Ready (token deployed) |
| Discord messaging | ⚠️ Needs bot token |
| Instagram posts | ⚠️ Needs Business Account setup |

---
## Next: Discord bot token
If you want Discord working in ChatGPT too, create a bot:
1. [discord.com/developers/applications](https://discord.com/developers/applications) → New Application
2. Bot tab → Copy Token
3. Deploy: `kubectl set env deployment/hermes-mcp -n fetcherpay DISCORD_DEFAULT_BOT_TOKEN="your-token"`
