Is the OpenAI MCP server free?

Yes. Activepieces is open source and free to start, and the MCP server is included on every plan, from the free cloud tier to any self-hosted deployment.

How do I connect OpenAI to Claude or Cursor?

Connect OpenAI in Activepieces, enable the server under Settings → MCP Server, then paste your server URL into your client config. It authenticates over OAuth on first use.

What can my agent do in OpenAI?

It can call 19 tools, including Ask ChatGPT, Ask Assistant (Deprecated), Vision Prompt, and chain them with steps in other apps inside the same run.

Is it safe to let an agent call OpenAI?

Connections use OAuth2 with limited scopes and are stored under 256-bit encryption, with no API to read them back, so an agent gets scoped access rather than your keys.

Chat, images, audio and embeddings from OpenAI models.

OpenAI is not a separate install. One Activepieces MCP server exposes it alongside 760+ other apps, behind a single URL.
