# How do I connect ChatGPT/Codex to Seal Subscriptions using MCP?

Seal Subscriptions’ MCP integration lets an AI agent look up your store’s subscriptions and subscription rules using plain language.

**1.**Create a dedicated API key
Open **Seal Subscriptions → Settings → General settings → API** and make sure API access is enabled. Create a key for your AI agent and enable only **Read permissions** under **Subscriptions** and **Subscription rules.**Leave other permissions unchecked and press save (For detailed instructions, see [How do I set read-only permissions for my API key?](https://www.sealsubscriptions.com/articles/frequently-asked-questions/how-do-i-set-readonly-permissions-for-my-api-key-fi)).

**2.**Connect your AI agent
Make sure the ChatGPT desktop app is installed. If it isn’t, download it [here](https://chatgpt.com/download/).
Once you’ve installed the app and signed in with your ChatGPT account, click your profile icon and go to **Settings → Plugins**.
