Can ChatGPT access my Hospitable data?
Yes, with real controls. ChatGPT connects to Hospitable's official MCP server through OAuth: you sign in with your own Hospitable login, only primary account holders or full-access admins can connect an agent at all, and you can disconnect it whenever you want. ChatGPT sees your data through the tools Hospitable chose to expose, not a database dump.
That OAuth model is the meaningful difference from platforms without an official server. There's no API key to paste anywhere: the authorization happens on Hospitable's own login page, and Hospitable controls the tool surface on its side of the connection.
The one behavior to plan around is that the official server includes write tools, and messages sent through MCP go out to guests immediately. If you want ChatGPT to be strictly read-only, run the small self-hosted server from our guide instead: it wraps only read endpoints with a Personal Access Token you control, so looking is all it can ever do.
The full guide walks through the read-only server and exactly which tools it exposes.
