The Swallow MCP server lets ChatGPT connect directly to your pricing infrastructure, models and tools through the Model Context Protocol. Once connected, ChatGPT can securely interact with your Swallow environment, helping you analyse models, query data, inspect rating logic and automate workflows using natural language.

Getting started only takes a few minutes.

Before beginning, you’ll need access to your Swallow API keys

## Step 1: Get your Swallow API credentials

Use your Swallow account to access the API section where your MCP credentials are stored.

If you’re new to Swallow, you can [register for an account](https://swa.llow.io/register) and we’ll provide your credentials during onboarding. If you already have a `swallow.app` account, you can find your MCP credentials in **Settings → API → Copy the User Keys**

## Step 2: Allow ChatGPT to add Apps

Click your profile picture and navigate to **Settings**. Then click on the **Apps** menu item and in there click **Advanced Settings**.

## Step 3: Enable Developer mode

Click the toggle to enable Developer Mode and a new “Create App” button will appear at the top. Click “Create App”.

It’s worth noting that in Developer Mode ChatGPT will no longer retain memory and some UI elements will change. This can be toggled off or on again at any time but you won’t be able to work with the Swallow MCP server when it’s off.

## Step 5: Connect your API credentials from earlier

ChatGPT will prompt you to enter your Swallow API credentials , which we discussed in Step 1.

Pasting them in will securely and privately connect Swallow to your specific projects.

You can find your MCP credentials in **Settings → API → Copy the User Keys**

## Step 6: Start using Swallow with ChatGPT

Once authenticated, you should now have access to your Swallow account and its tools.

With the integration active, ChatGPT can securely interact with your Swallow environment using natural language prompts.

Close the settings modal and begin a new chat talking naturally to ChatGPT to talk through your Swallow Pricing Models
