i tried the mcp connection and it’s saying my conversations dont support developer mcp. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for the screenshot, @2BG ! It looks like Make is connected, but this particular conversation may not have access to the newly added MCP connection.

Please start a completely new chat in ChatGPT, select or mention @Make, and try again.

If the same message appears, try a new Work chat at chatgpt.com. OpenAI’s current developer MCP setup guide specifically documents using developer MCP connections in a new Work chat on the web.

Thank you for the reply! I was able to get it to work in a normal chat, but it had to be outside of a project for some reason :man_shrugging: I can finish my scenarios though!
