How do I connect Himalayas to ChatGPT?
Add Himalayas as a custom MCP server in ChatGPT on the web:
- Open ChatGPT Plugins, select + and choose Add custom MCP server
- Name it
Himalayasand enter this URL under Connection:
https://mcp.himalayas.app/mcp- Choose OAuth for authentication, tick the confirmation and select Create as a plugin
- Start a new chat, type @ and pick Himalayas
Job, company and salary search work straight away. The first time ChatGPT needs your profile or tracker, it asks you to sign in to Himalayas and approve access. ChatGPT never sees your password.
Which ChatGPT plans can use Himalayas?
OpenAI decides which plans can add custom MCP servers:
| Plan | What works |
|---|---|
| Business, Enterprise, Edu | Everything: search, salaries, your profile, the tracker and employer tools. On Business, an admin or owner creates the plugin |
| Pro | Read and fetch tools: job, company and salary search |
Custom MCP plugins work in ChatGPT on the web, not in the mobile apps. Your workspace admin can turn custom MCP servers off. See OpenAI's guide to custom MCP servers for the current rules.
Does Himalayas work with OpenAI dots?
Yes, where dots are available. A dot is OpenAI's always-on agent. Plugins you connect in ChatGPT's Plugins tab are shared with your dot, so once Himalayas is connected, your dot can use it too. On mobile, open your dot's profile and go to Customize → Plugins to check.
A dot suits an ongoing job hunt:
Every weekday morning, search Himalayas for new remote product designer jobs I can do from Canada. Skip anything already in my tracker and send me the best three.
Dots roll out to eligible ChatGPT Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces first. See OpenAI's guide to dots for availability.
What can ChatGPT do with Himalayas?

- Save jobs to your application tracker and move them from saved to applied to interviewing

What can I ask ChatGPT?
@Himalayas find remote senior React jobs paying over $140k that I can do from the UK.
@Himalayas what does a remote data analyst earn in Germany? Then find jobs in that range.
@Himalayas save the Stripe role to my tracker and mark the Linear one as applied.
What if something doesn't work?
- I can't see Add custom MCP server: your plan or workspace doesn't allow custom MCP servers. Check the plan table above, or ask your workspace admin.
- ChatGPT doesn't use Himalayas: type @ and pick Himalayas in a new chat.
- ChatGPT asks me to sign in again: sign in to Himalayas again when prompted. Search keeps working without an account.
