Custom connectors need ChatGPT Developer Mode (Plus / Pro / Business / Enterprise / Edu — not the free tier). Added once on web, available on mobile too.

Steps
- Profile → Settings → Connectors → Advanced → turn on Developer mode.
- Back in Settings → Connectors, click Create.
- Name it IndustryLens and paste the MCP server URL:
https://api.industry-lens.com/mcp/public
- Authentication: none. Save.
- Enable IndustryLens in the Tools menu of a chat.
Verify it worked
IndustryLens shows under Connectors; in a chat enable it and ask "Who competes with apollo.io?".
Try these prompts
- “Who competes with apollo.io?”
- “What did Clay recently change in its go-to-market?”
- “Give me a competitive profile of ramp.com.”
- “List recent strategic moves for ZoomInfo.”
- “Find competitors for cognism.com.”
Troubleshooting
No Connectors / Developer mode option
Custom MCP connectors require a paid plan (Plus and up) with Developer Mode toggled on under Connectors → Advanced. The free tier cannot add custom connectors.
Added but not used in answers
Enable IndustryLens in the Tools menu of the chat and ask an explicitly competitive question.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — connectors are tied to your account, so once added on web they appear in the ChatGPT mobile apps too.
