You can connect an AI assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok to your UpTrust account. Once connected, your assistant can use your trust network when it answers you. It can rank people or posts by how much your network trusts them, check if your network trusts a source, find your most trusted voices on a topic, and set up an event and invite people for you.
What you'll need
You need your UpTrust login and an assistant account that supports custom connectors. On ChatGPT and Grok that means a paid plan. If you do not see a Connectors section in your assistant's settings, your plan may not include them yet.
Every assistant uses the same address: https://mcp.uptrusting.com/mcp
Connect from Claude
- Open your settings and find the Connectors section.
- Choose to add a custom connector.
- Paste the address above and confirm.
Connect from ChatGPT
- Open Settings, then Connectors, then Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode. Custom connectors sit behind this switch.
- Back in Connectors, choose Create.
- Name it UpTrust, paste the address above, and set Authentication to OAuth.
Connect from Grok
- Open the Connectors page in Grok's settings.
- Choose New Connector, then Custom.
- Paste the address above and confirm.
Approve on UpTrust
The last part is the same everywhere.
- A browser window opens on UpTrust. Sign in if you are not already signed in.
- Read what the assistant is asking for, then click Approve.
- Back in the assistant, open a chat and check its tools menu. Turn on UpTrust there if it is not already on.
That is it. There are no keys or codes to copy.
What the assistant asks permission for
The consent screen shows exactly what access the assistant is asking for. Depending on what it asks for, you will see one or more of these.
- Read your trust signal: your trust rankings, trust bands, most trusted connections, bridges, and mirror scores.
- Suggest people you should meet, only if requested.
- Create events and send invitations for you, only if requested: the assistant can set up an event, suggest invitees, and send the invitations you confirm.
If the assistant asks for a new kind of access later, such as events, you will see the approval screen again. Nothing gets added silently.
What your assistant can do once connected
- Sort anything by your trust: "rank these five newsletters by how much my network trusts them."
- Check a source: "does my network trust this account?" The assistant gets a simple band (below, low, medium, high, or very high), never an exact score.
- Find your trusted voices on a topic.
- Show you bridges: things trusted on both sides of a disagreement in your network.
- Suggest people you might want to meet, through chains of trust.
- Plan an event: "invite people to golf this Saturday." The assistant fills in the details with you, creates the event, suggests invitees your network trusts, and sends the invites you approve.
Here is what that looks like in a real conversation.
Try it
- "Who are my most trusted voices in psychology?"
- "What content bridges my network on parenting?"
- "Does my network trust this newsletter?"
- "Set up a coffee meetup next Friday and suggest who I should invite."
Your privacy
- Connected assistants never see your raw trust scores. For trust questions they get orderings and coarse bands only. They also never get other members' email addresses.
- Text you ask an assistant to mirror-score is sent to OpenAI, a third-party sub-processor, to compute the score.
- There are daily limits on how much a connected assistant can ask for. Normal use will not hit them.
Disconnect anytime
Where to find it: Open Settings and find the Connected Agents card.
In the Connected Agents card, click Revoke next to the assistant you want to remove, then confirm. Revoking cuts off access right away, and you can always reconnect later. For more detail, see Connected AI agents.
