ChatGPT Connector
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.
How it Works
Link Crossbeam to ChatGPT so your team can tap into partner and account data without switching tools. The Crossbeam MCP Connector gives ChatGPT secure, on-demand access to your ecosystem data, making it easy to spot shared accounts, track partner activity, and find warm paths to new business.
It's a fast way to layer live ecosystem context into everyday questions, sharpen how you prioritize accounts, and catch co-sell opportunities as they show up.
Crossbeam MCP runs as a remote server, giving ChatGPT structured access to your ecosystem data through the Model Context Protocol. Once it's connected, ChatGPT can tap any of Crossbeam's MCP tools mid-conversation, pulling account details, partner performance, and recent ecosystem activity to help you make decisions on the spot.

Setup Instructions
Crossbeam MCP is currently in Limited Availability for Supernode and Enterprise customers. For now, usage is unlimited while in beta until September 1st. After that date, you should speak to your account manager if you're interested in understanding more about using Crossbeam in ChatGPT after the beta period is over.
Once you're approved, head to Settings > Apps > Explore apps in ChatGPT, look for Crossbeam among the available connectors, and click Connect. You'll sign in with your Crossbeam credentials to finish the OAuth flow. To bring Crossbeam into a chat, type "@Crossbeam" before your question, or click the + button and choose More > Crossbeam.
FAQ
Yes. ChatGPT requires each person to authenticate on their own, so everyone using the connector will need an individual paid Crossbeam seat.
No. Every tool in the MCP is read-only. ChatGPT can pull up and analyze your Crossbeam data, but it has no way to create, change, or delete records in your account.
A few examples across common workflows:
- Prioritizing accounts: "Do any of my open opportunities have a partner already working the same account?"
- Getting ready for a call: "What ecosystem context should I know about [Account] before tomorrow?"
- Finding a partner to help: "Who at [Partner X] could make a warm intro to [Account]?"
- Checking recent activity: "Which partners have been most active on my accounts this quarter?"
- Finding new partners: "Based on our ecosystem, who should we consider inviting to partner with us?"
