Market data for ChatGPT: connect TradingData as an MCP connector

ChatGPT connectors and the OpenAI Responses API both support remote MCP servers. Use the connector for chats and the API for your own apps.

Steps

  1. 1Open Settings, then Connectors. If there is no Create button, turn on Developer mode under Advanced settings.
  2. 2Choose Create, name it TradingData, paste the MCP server URL and pick OAuth as the authentication method.
  3. 3Save. ChatGPT sends you to tradingdata.io to approve access. Enable the connector in a chat from the plus menu, or in Deep research sources.
  • In the API, pass an API key from your dashboard as the authorization value.
MCP server URL
https://mcp.tradingdata.io
Python (Responses API)
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()
response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5",
    tools=[{
        "type": "mcp",
        "server_label": "tradingdata",
        "server_url": "https://mcp.tradingdata.io",
        "authorization": "td_your_api_key",
        "require_approval": "never",
    }],
    input="Compare NVDA and AMD revenue growth over the last 4 quarters.",
)
print(response.output_text)

Replace td_your_api_key with a key from your dashboard (API keys). Each key can be revoked on its own.
