Connector · ChatGPT

Write pub quizzes with ChatGPT.

Q: How do I disconnect?

Uninstall Quiz Master under Settings → Plugins. Everything it wrote stays in your account.

Add Quiz Master as a connector and ChatGPT writes straight into your own quiz library — rounds, questions, pictures, music and bilingual copy — instead of handing you a wall of text to paste. You keep the final say in the builder.

Updated 7 October 2026

Server URLhttps://thequizmaster.app/mcp

The only thing you hand ChatGPT is that address. No API key — you sign in on a Quiz Master page with the account you already have.

Setup, once

Add the connector.

ChatGPT registers itself with Quiz Master, sends you to our sign-in page, and remembers the connection afterwards. OpenAI renames these menus often — the names below were right at the time of writing.

Before you start

Plans and permissions

ChatGPT now calls connectors plugins, and adding your own MCP server works on the web only. Whether a custom server may write as well as read depends on your plan: at the time of writing, OpenAI’s help centre lists full write access for Business, Enterprise and Edu, and read-only access for Pro in developer mode. Quiz Master’s useful tools all write, so check what yours allows. On a Business or Enterprise workspace, an admin turns on developer mode and publishes the server for the workspace first.

In ChatGPT

chatgpt.com, in the browser

Open Plugins in the sidebar, then Add → Add custom MCP server at the top right.
Name it “Quiz Master”, leave Connection on Server URL and paste the URL above. Authentication is OAuth; the advanced OAuth settings can stay as they are, because the server registers ChatGPT by itself.
ChatGPT warns that custom MCP servers introduce risk. That’s shown for every server you add yourself — tick I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin.
A Quiz Master page opens. Sign in with Google or email and password, then press Approve access.
In a new chat, pick Quiz Master from the composer’s + menu, or @mention it, so ChatGPT uses it for that message.

What works

The same tools Claude gets.

The server doesn’t care which assistant is asking. ChatGPT sees the same seventeen tools, scoped to the same account.

Whole quizzes, in your workspace

ChatGPT can create a quiz and build its running order — welcome, rules, rounds with their answer reveals, scoreboards, final scores. It lands under Quizzes, ready to open in the builder, not stranded in a chat.

Your question library

Search what you already have by text, tag, type or difficulty, reuse old questions in a new round, and file new ones with tags. Nine answer types, from short answer and multiple choice to ordering, matching and name-any-five lists.

Pictures, music and YouTube

Direct image, audio and video files are copied into Quiz Master’s storage, up to 25 MB each, so nothing breaks on a dead link mid-round. YouTube links go straight onto a question with start and end times — audio-only for what’s-this-song.

Two languages at once

Every text field holds several languages. Ask for German alongside English, and for the primary-with-subtitle display, which puts a smaller second-language line under each prompt. There’s no builder switch for that yet; the connector sets it.

Edits that travel

Questions are live-linked: fix one and every quiz using it is fixed, past ones included. Handy for typos, risky for rewrites — ask for a new question when you want a variant.

What it can’t do

Delete anything, see another host’s library, or run the night. Teams, scoring and the presenter view stay in the app, where you can see them.

Every tool and its inputs are listed in the Quiz Master MCP tool reference.

Try this first

Four prompts to start with.

In order, one at a time. Naming Quiz Master in the first message nudges ChatGPT to use the connector instead of answering from memory.

“Using Quiz Master, read the authoring guide and list my quizzes.”
get_authoring_guide, then list_quizzes. Proves the connection works and gives ChatGPT the house style before it writes anything.
“Create a quiz called “Quiz Night Draft” with three rounds of eight questions — general knowledge, food and drink, 2000s music — each followed by its answer reveal.”
create_quiz and add_segment. Each round gets its paired answer reveal automatically.
“In the food and drink round, make two questions multiple choice with four options, and add a true-or-false.”
get_quiz to find the round, then update_question and add_questions_to_round.
“Add German to every question and set the quiz to show German subtitles under the English prompts.”
update_question across the quiz, then update_quiz for the languages and display setting. Read the German before the night.

Then open Quizzes in your workspace, open the draft in the builder and hit Preview. Music rounds, picture rounds and library clean-ups are in the pub quiz prompt library.

When it doesn’t

Troubleshooting.

There’s no option to add an MCP server

Look for Add → Add custom MCP server on the Plugins page. Older builds kept it behind Developer mode under Settings → Apps → Advanced settings. If it isn’t there at all, your plan or workspace doesn’t offer custom servers at the moment — on a Business or Enterprise workspace, ask an admin.

ChatGPT answers from memory

The plugin isn’t active for this message. Pick it from the composer’s + menu or @mention Quiz Master — the choice applies per message, so mention it again when a follow-up needs it.

It can list quizzes but not create them

Your plan may allow custom connectors to read but not write. Nothing on our side changes that — check OpenAI’s help centre for your plan.

The sign-in window does nothing

The Google option opens a popup. Allow popups for thequizmaster.app, or sign in with email and password instead.

It connected the wrong account

In Settings → Plugins, open Quiz Master and connect another account, or uninstall and add it again — on the Quiz Master page, sign out first, then sign in with the account you want.

An image import failed

A “text/html” error means the link was a web page, not the file. On Wikimedia Commons, open the file and copy its upload.wikimedia.org address. Files over 25 MB and SVGs are refused; YouTube links skip import entirely.

It asked me to sign in again

The connection renews itself while you use it. Leave it idle for about a month and you’ll sign in once more.

Short answers

FAQ.

Do I need an OpenAI API key?

No. The connector signs in with your Quiz Master account through your browser. There is no key to generate, paste or leak.

Why does ChatGPT keep asking me to confirm?

ChatGPT may ask before it runs a tool that writes. That’s its guard rail, not ours, and it’s a reasonable one. Every Quiz Master tool creates or edits, and none can delete a quiz or a library question.

Can ChatGPT delete my quizzes or questions?

No — there are no delete tools. Removing a question from a round only drops the reference; the question stays in your library and in any other quiz that uses it.

Can it run the quiz or keep score?

No. The connector is for writing quizzes. Teams, scoring and the presenter view live in the app, on the night.

Claude or ChatGPT — which should I use?

Whichever you already pay for. The tools are identical. Claude’s setup has fewer steps today, since it doesn’t need a developer switch — see Quiz Master for Claude. Both can be connected to the same account at once.

How do I disconnect?

Uninstall Quiz Master under Settings → Plugins. Everything it wrote stays in your account.

Can I try Quiz Master before connecting anything?

Yes: click through a sample quiz on the live demo, no account needed. The connector overview covers the security model in plain words.
