# Admin setup

**For workspace and organization admins.** This page walks you through adding the Leadbay connector once, for your whole organization, so every member can connect without needing admin rights themselves.

If you landed here because a teammate asked you to "add the Leadbay connector" — you're in the right place. It takes a couple of minutes, there are no API tokens to hand out, and each member still signs in with **their own** Leadbay account.

> **Are you sure you need this?** Only **organization** plans gate custom connectors behind an admin — **Claude** Team/Enterprise and **ChatGPT** Business/Enterprise. On an individual paid plan (Claude Pro/Max, ChatGPT Plus/Pro) there's no admin step; add the connector yourself via the [Quickstart](/doc/leadbay-mcp/quickstart.md) or [Installation](/doc/leadbay-mcp/installation.md) guide.

## Claude (Team & Enterprise)

As a **primary owner or admin**, add Leadbay as an **organization** custom connector. Once added, it appears in every member's directory and they connect individually.

1. [**Add the Leadbay connector →**](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector\&connectorName=Leadbay\&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.leadbay.app%2Fmcp) — the form opens with the name and URL prefilled. (There are two server URLs: this link uses the US one, `https://mcp.leadbay.app/mcp`; for a France / EU workspace, use `https://mcp.leadbay.app/fr/mcp` instead.)
2. If Claude offers a scope choice, pick **organization** so every member gets it. Leave Advanced settings as they are (**Individual sign-in** — each member uses their own Leadbay login; you're not sharing one account), then click **Add**.

That's the admin part done — Leadbay now shows up in your members' connector directory. (In a Team/Enterprise workspace members don't have the **Add custom connector** option themselves, which is why this step exists.)

**What your members do next:** in Claude, **Settings → Connectors → search "Leadbay" → Connect**, then sign in with their own Leadbay account. Full walkthrough in the [Quickstart](/doc/leadbay-mcp/quickstart.md).

## ChatGPT (Business & Enterprise)

On Business and Enterprise workspaces, custom MCP connectors are off until a **workspace owner or admin** allows them. You don't add Leadbay for everyone here — you unlock the ability, and each member then adds it themselves.

1. Open your **workspace settings** (workspace menu, bottom-left → **Settings**).
2. Under the connector / apps controls, **allow custom connectors** for the workspace (this is the workspace-level switch that gates Developer-mode custom apps for members).
3. Let your members know they can now add Leadbay.

### What your members do next

Unlike Claude, ChatGPT members add the app themselves once you've allowed custom connectors. Send them the **ChatGPT** section of the [Installation](/doc/leadbay-mcp/installation.md) guide — each member:

1. Turns on **Developer mode** (Settings → Apps → Advanced settings).
2. Clicks **Create app** and fills in **Name** `Leadbay MCP`, **Server URL** `https://mcp.leadbay.app/mcp`, and **Authentication: OAuth**.
3. Clicks **Sign in with Leadbay MCP** and logs in with their own Leadbay account.
4. Enables the **Leadbay MCP** app from the composer **+** / tools menu, then asks for leads.

{% hint style="info" %}
The exact wording and location of the "allow custom connectors" control changes as ChatGPT's admin console evolves. If you can't find it, search the workspace settings for **connectors** or **apps**, or check OpenAI's current admin documentation.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Claude Code and Codex need no admin step** — they're per-user CLI clients with no organization gate. Each member just runs the one-line add command from the [Installation](/doc/leadbay-mcp/installation.md) guide on their own machine.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.leadbay.app/doc/leadbay-mcp/admin-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
