As reported by The Decoder, OpenAI has rolled out a 'Developer Mode' for ChatGPT, aiming to bolster its application prowess in various professional domains. At present, this functionality is exclusively accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers, and it's only supported on the web - based platform.

To activate Developer Mode, users have to manually turn it on in the 'Connectors' section under the settings. Once enabled, they can set up an MCP client. This setup empowers ChatGPT to directly connect with external systems through SSE or streaming HTTP protocols. As a result, it can perform tasks like updating CRM records and creating pull requests on code - hosting platforms.

OpenAI highlights that this mode comes with high - level permissions. Every tool call presents the complete input and output content in a well - structured JSON format. By default, actions that involve data modification necessitate manual confirmation (with the exception of tools marked as 'read - only'). Users have the option to remember the authorization status during the current chat session. However, the permissions will be reset once the page is refreshed or a new conversation is initiated.
