Control your print farm from ChatGPT - ask OpenAI's assistant about printers, queue and jobs in plain English

## About

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




- Open [chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com) and sign in.

- Click **Apps** in the sidebar and search for SimplyPrint.

- Click **Connect**, log in to SimplyPrint in the OAuth popup, and approve the scopes you want ChatGPT to have.

- 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](https://help.simplyprint.io/en/article/connect-simplyprint-to-any-ai-assistant-via-mcp-u5j4bw/). For other AI assistants that speak MCP, see the [generic MCP integration](/integrations/mcp).
