Two Ways To Use ChatGPT With Mem
- Save ChatGPT into Mem with the Exchange browser extension.
- Let ChatGPT use Mem with Remote MCP over OAuth, so ChatGPT Web and desktop can search your memories, sources, and working context during a conversation.
Save ChatGPT Conversations
The Nowledge Mem Exchange browser extension runs beside ChatGPT in your browser's side panel or sidebar.
- Always Remember extracts decisions, discoveries, and key conclusions as you chat.
- Keep Messages backs up your full conversation history in real time.
- Per-platform settings remember how you want ChatGPT handled.
Setup
Install Nowledge Mem Exchange:
- Chrome / Edge: Get Extension
- Firefox: Get Extension
Open the side panel on any ChatGPT page. Enable your preferred capture modes. Done.
Let ChatGPT Search Mem
Use this when ChatGPT should read from your Mem, not just send content into it.
- ChatGPT's Apps capability table lists custom MCP and write actions for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise/Edu.
- Developer mode, workspace policy, approved scopes, and staged rollout still determine what a particular account exposes. Inspect the real tool list after connecting.
- If the create action is unavailable, use the Exchange browser extension while the submitted public Nowledge Mem plugin is under review.
- Choose the workspace. For Nowledge Mem Cloud, copy its public
/mcpaddress from Connectors. For a workspace in the App, first use Access Anywhere to create a public HTTPS endpoint. - Open ChatGPT → Settings → Apps → Advanced settings and enable Developer mode.
- Create a new App with the copied
/mcpendpoint and approve Mem in the same browser profile that opened the pairing page. - Saving creates the real
plugin_asdk_app_…technical ID. Record it for a later Plugins Directory submission; public review is separate from this private connection. - In ChatGPT Web or the ChatGPT desktop app, mention
@Nowledge Memto verify search. If write tools are present and authorized, verify one scoped write and exact-ID readback.
This route is built for ChatGPT and other OAuth-only MCP clients. It avoids private API-key headers and connects directly to the selected Cloud or App workspace; Nowledge does not relay App MCP traffic through a shared gateway.
