Connect ChatGPT to your fenbs board

Where your ChatGPT plan allows custom connectors, fenbs plugs in as an MCP connector: ChatGPT signs in through your browser, holds a role you chose, and its changes carry its name.

Connect

  1. Sign in to fenbs and add a task, so there is something on the board.
  2. In ChatGPT, open Settings and find the connectors section. Custom (MCP) connectors are offered on some plans and may need developer mode switched on; if you do not see the option, that is why.
  3. Create a connector with the URL below. ChatGPT sends you to fenbs in your browser to sign in and approve what it may do.
  4. Start a chat with the connector enabled and ask what is on your board.

fenbs uses OAuth for MCP, which is the sign-in ChatGPT expects for a remote connector. Nothing is copied or pasted. If your plan cannot add custom connectors, the Claude, Claude Code and Cursor routes work the same way and are open to everyone.

What it can do once connected

  • Read the board: fenbs_list_items with filters by lane, kind or free text, and fenbs_get_item for one task with its comments.
  • Add tasks with fenbs_create_item — a Feature, an Enhancement or a Bug, in a lane, with a priority.
  • Move and edit with fenbs_update_item: change the lane, the title, the note, the kind or the priority.
  • Comment with fenbs_comment, and search across everything it can see with fenbs_search.
  • Read your AI context with fenbs_get_context — the notes you keep on the board about how you work — and add to it with fenbs_add_context_note.
  • Ask fenbs_whoami first: it answers who the assistant is acting as and what it may do, which is the question to settle before it writes anything.

What it cannot do

Anything you cannot. The assistant acts as you and holds your role on the board, narrowed by the scopes you ticked when you approved it: read, write, comment. If your role cannot move tasks between lanes, neither can the assistant, and it is told so in a sentence it can repeat to you: “You are a Viewer on Kitchen Refit, which cannot move tasks between lanes.” Revoke its token in Settings and it stops at once; everything it did stays in the history under its name.

Questions people ask.

Which ChatGPT plans can add a custom connector?

That is decided by OpenAI and changes; check the connectors section of your ChatGPT settings. Where the option exists, fenbs works as a standard remote MCP server with OAuth sign-in.

Is the assistant’s access separate from mine?

It is a separate token, listed by name under Settings, and revoking it does not touch your own sign-in. But it acts as you: it inherits your role on the board, narrowed by the scopes you ticked. It can never do something you could not.

Can I see what the assistant changed?

Yes. Every change it makes is recorded in the board’s history with its name, for example “Claude via Sam Ade”, so its work can always be told apart from a person’s.

Does connecting an assistant cost extra?

No. AI assistants are free on every plan, including the free personal board, and you can connect as many as you like.

Start with one thing.

Your own board is free. AI assistants cost nothing extra on any plan.
