Run your print farm from ChatGPT - connect SimplyPrint to the official ChatGPT app

With the SimplyPrint + ChatGPT integration, you can ask ChatGPT about your print farm and have it take action for you. Check which printers are busy, queue a job, change filament, diagnose a failure or pull this week's success rate - all in plain English, directly from the ChatGPT app or chatgpt.com.

The integration is powered by the SimplyPrint MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants talk to external tools, and ChatGPT supports it through custom connectors and the official ChatGPT app directory.

Custom connectors and apps in ChatGPT require a ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team or Enterprise plan. Your SimplyPrint account works on any plan.

Where ChatGPT runs

  • chatgpt.com - OpenAI's web app. Add SimplyPrint as an app or a custom connector.
  • ChatGPT Desktop - Mac and Windows desktop app. Same connectors as the web, with the added bonus of tighter OS integration.
  • ChatGPT mobile - iOS and Android. Once you've added the app on web or desktop, it's available on your phone too.

Connect via the SimplyPrint ChatGPT app

  1. Open chatgpt.com and sign in.
  2. Click Apps in the sidebar and search for SimplyPrint.
  3. Click Connect, log in to SimplyPrint in the OAuth popup, and approve the scopes you want ChatGPT to have.
  4. Open a new chat, pick the SimplyPrint app from the + menu, and ask ChatGPT anything about your printers.
The official SimplyPrint app for ChatGPT is being rolled out - OpenAI reviews every app before publishing. If you can't find it yet, use the custom connector steps further down this page: same server, same tools, same OAuth.

What ChatGPT can do

Once connected, ChatGPT can call any SimplyPrint action your scopes allow - list and control printers, manage the queue, inspect files, adjust filament spools, pull stats and history. It asks before doing destructive things like cancelling a print.

Full step-by-step setup and the complete scope reference are in the AI assistant setup article. For other AI assistants that speak MCP, see the generic MCP integration.

  • Works in chatgpt.com, ChatGPT Desktop and ChatGPT mobile
  • Official app rolling out in the ChatGPT app directory
  • OAuth login - no API keys to paste, revoke any time
  • Fine-grained scopes: grant read-only or full control per connection

About SimplyPrint integrations

Integration for SimplyPrint allows for applications to interact with your 3D printers, and your 3D printers to interact with other applications. This allows for endless possibilities, and we strongly believe that your 3D printer should be able to function as an IOT device, working together with any and all applications you can imagine!

This is why the team behind SimplyPrint work to provide official integrations for the most popular platforms, slicer and applications, while also allowing our users to create custom integrations using our API, or for approved third party vendors to create integrations to be used by all SimplyPrint users, using a "Log in with SimplyPrint" method (using the "OAuth2" method).

If you're a developer interested in creating an integration for SimplyPrint, please read our documentation on the subject.

If you're not a developer yourself, but would like to see an integration for a specific application, go check if it's already on our roadmap or suggestion list, and if not, feel free to suggest it!
