Getting started

Connect ChatGPT — one setting to turn on

If you already use ChatGPT, this is a real path in — confirmed working end to end. It takes one extra step the other four don't: a safety toggle buried in Settings, off by default. Once that's on, the rest is quick.

Not sure this is the right one? Compare all five ways in.

Not a paid-plan thing. The one extra step is a safety switch called Developer mode, off by default for everyone. ChatGPT labels it "elevated risk" — that's OpenAI's standard warning for any custom connector it hasn't reviewed, not something specific to us.

1. Turn on Developer mode

Open Settings → Security and login, scroll down to the "Developer mode" section, and switch on Developer mode. It's a one-time setting — you won't need to do this again.

2. Open the plugins page

Go to chatgpt.com/plugins. Click the + button next to "Search plugins".

chatgpt.com/plugins — the + button is what starts this.

3. Fill in the form

A "New Plugin" panel opens. Name it anything — we used "Erawan Cloud" — skip the description if you want, and under Connection choose Server URL and paste this in:

https://api.erawan.cloud/mcp

Leave Authentication on OAuth. Tick "I understand and want to continue" — a standard warning ChatGPT shows for any custom server, nothing specific to us — then click Create.

The exact form — a short one, and a checkbox.

4. Approve it

A screen appears asking you to sign in and approve the connection — click "Sign in with Erawan Cloud". That's the whole setup, and you will not have to do it again.

The approval screen — one button.

5. Say what you want

Start a new chat and describe the thing you want in plain words — see what to actually type below for real examples.

What to actually type

No code words required — describe the outcome the way you'd explain it to a person. A few real examples:

Build me a simple personal notes app — I can write a note and delete it — and put it online.
Make a page where people can sign up for updates with their email, and put it online.
Build a small to-do list I can check items off, with a password so only I can open it.

If what comes back isn't quite right, just say what's wrong in plain words — "make the button bigger," "I wanted a delete button too" — and it changes it. You're having a conversation, not filing a support ticket.

What happens after you hit enter

Your agent checks its own code for the mistakes that actually cost money, builds it, and comes back with a working link. Here's a real one — a lottery-checker, asked for and deployed in one message:

A real ChatGPT conversation: the user asks in Thai for a lottery-checker website deployed on Erawan Cloud, ChatGPT calls tools twice over 3 minutes 56 seconds, and reports it finished and is running

A real deploy, start to finish, inside ChatGPT.

If it doesn't work on the first try

It is not your job to chase the problem down. Your agent reads the error, changes the code and tries the deploy again. If it is still stuck, say plainly what the screen shows; it can read the logs from there.

What it costs

You can start free without an account. A guest app stays live for 24 hours; sign up free inside that window to keep the app and its URL. After you sign up, the Free plan has no expiry. Full pricing is on the front page.
