ChatGPT Apps API, Apps limit per account?

ChatGPT Apps SDK

Hi everyone!

I had a couple of questions about ChatGPT apps and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

First, is there a maximum number of apps that can be added to ChatGPT per account - developer mode enabled. I couldn’t find a clear answer in the docs.

Second, is there an API or any supported way to add apps programmatically, rather than having to do it manually through the UI?

And if neither of these are currently supported, is it something OpenAI plans to introduce in the future?

Any links to relevant documentation or community resources would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome back!

If you create a ChatGPT app, you are building using the Apps SDK:

  • a MCP backend
  • optionally, a frontend widget
  • a connection through the Apps SDK

This means you can build everything programmatically and create as many apps as you want, but users need to connect those apps to their ChatGPT experience manually. Plus, Apps need to be submitted and approved before they are available to the general public.

Here is the quickstart guide:

Now I see my question is a bit wrong. I actually wanted to ask about an API for actually adding Apps into ChatGPT.

This doesn’t exist, yet, for private accounts. Not sure if this will ever be a thing.
I can see this being a regular use case for Enterprise customers but then the account manager/project manager would be the first person to contact.
