I have not seen near enough excitement about MCP Events developers.openai.com/plugin… Right now, the only way most people's agents can wake up and do something is either A) cron, or B) you decide to message it Event-driven triggers are a huge deal

Hi, I’m Vibhor, Product Lead for Ecosystem at @OpenAI. I am going to use this space to share what we are doing to further the Ecosystem for our customers, and partners. DevDay feels like a good time to start. One of the best parts of DevDay was the deep collaboration with partners: @Adobe, @Atlassian, @Canva, @Figma, @Instacart, @MagicPathAI, @Shopify, Superpower, and @tldraw. While I went in excited I left with even more conviction in what we’re building together for our shared customers. It was also incredible to meet AI native partners and hear how our platform is empowering them build a sustainable business on ChatGPT 🎉 A conversation is often just the beginning of a task. You describe an idea, work through it, and eventually want something you can use: an edited image, a working prototype, a diagram you can keep refining. Getting there takes great tools and the people who know how to build them. Our ambition is to make those capabilities feel like a natural part of working with ChatGPT. At DevDay, we shared several steps in that direction. 1. Plugin Extensions help our partners bring interactive experiences to ChatGPT. Adobe is a good example. You can ask for an image edit, then adjust the details with hands-on controls. With tldraw, you and the agent can work on a shared canvas. MagicPath brings interactive prototypes into the conversation, with room to edit them yourself. These examples make the idea much more tangible: - Adobe: video.tv.adobe.com/v/3503940 - tldraw: x.lingyaoai.com/tldraw/status/21053958… - MagicPath: x.lingyaoai.com/skirano/status/2104994… - Figma: lnkd.in/gaqHXZjT - Shopify: lnkd.in/ghEXY5GT 2. A useful plugin can package skills, an MCP server, or both. That gives builders different ways to contribute: reusable workflow knowledge, access to live information, or actions that help someone finish a task. We introduced Plugin Creator and improvements to submissions, including automated checks and clearer feedback. Sites can also host supported plugins. There’s still work to do to make building and maintaining a plugin consistently straightforward. 3. We also announced improvements to plugin discovery, ranking and recommendations, in the directory and in conversations. This matters for both sides of the ecosystem. Users need to find something useful when they need it. Developers need a way for their work to reach those users. The goal is to make suggestions genuinely helpful, with good judgment about when they add value and when they get in the way. 4. MCP Events lets users ask ChatGPT to watch for supported events, such as a new message or a document comment, and respond when they arrive. It opens up another way for developers to make their tools useful beyond a single exchange. 5. ChatGPT Sites can now host MCP servers including plugin extensions! Create an MCP server with extensions, deploy the MCP server to Sites, turn the MCP server into a plugin, and install the plugin across platforms. There’s still plenty to do, especially around reliability, discovery and the developer experience. Thank you to the teams and partners doing this work with us. The future feels bright, and we’re just getting started. Onward!

Plugin extensions let you build interactive panels, file viewers, and a sidebar home in ChatGPT. Get clearer feedback when submitting your plugin for review. With support for the proposed MCP Events specification, events in connected apps can start automations in ChatGPT: developers.openai.com/plugin…

The spice must flow, and so must the pipeline. You can build collaborative QBRs in minutes with the tldraw @ChatGPT plugin.

Shipping the Codex Plugin yesterday caused more people to join Taste than on every previous day combined 👅 It also caused such a big spike in usage while I was asleep that I had to upgrade a bunch of services this morning…. things got slow/timed out for a bit, but should be fast again now! try it: buildwithtaste.com
Codex just got taste? 👅 The Taste plugin is live! Bring the designs you love into Codex, find new inspiration in the chat, and build interfaces that actually feel like yours. Works with static screens and motion/interactions! Search "Taste" in Plugins.

Plugin extensions are so cool 😎 Building a native iOS app with Codex + Limrun. Build → try → annotate → iterate. All in one place. Feels like it’s part of Codex.

I am going to try and answer a bunch of questions that people have raised about Sign in with ChatGPT in the next couple of days. Before that, I want to let you all in to why we shipped Sign in with ChatGPT (SIWC) in the first place. Clarify our intentions here before getting to the specifics.

One more thing, you can now build and deploy MCP servers right through ChatGPT. And restrict its access to anyone you want or share it with the world.
Announcing one more launch: ChatGPT Sites can now host MCP servers, including plugin extensions! 🤯 > @⁠sites create a todo list that I can use in ChatGPT This will: · Create an MCP server with extensions · Deploy that MCP server to Sites · Turn the MCP server into a plugin · Install the plugin for you across web, mobile, and desktop ChatGPT is slowly becoming malleable software that anybody can customize to their needs. Very excited to see what you all build with this!

More MCP extension madness 😍 I've given ChatGPT the understanding of how to make software architecture diagrams with @event_catalog Give it a task or code base to review and it will render your node graph, step by step and flows. How awesome.

@mxstbr @_florianbauer @gpeal8 @elfredpagan @tarstarr If you don't mind me asking, Sam mentioned OpenAI supporting distribution, but running a backend is hard. Any plans for OpenAI-hosted infrastructure (e.g. Sites) to eventually handle backend needs for Plugin Extensions?

Agent Sheets is now a spreadsheet right inside ChatGPT and Codex. Spent yesterday rebuilding it as a plugin extension after OpenAI DevDay, moving it over from WebMCP. Really liking being able to expand the sheet, make a few edits myself, then jump back to the chat and ask the agent to do more while I keep working in the sheet. Pretty cool to see things evolve beyond just chat. Bringing chat and UI together feels like the best of both worlds for tools like this. You can take control when you need to, then let the agent do its thing. Really enjoying building plugins so far @mxstbr!

super excited to announce plugin extensions today 🎉 you can now use the exact same platform we use to build ChatGPT features like meetings, health, finance, and many others 🤯 all based on the same MCP & MCP Apps you’re already used to: github.com/openai/mcp-extens…

The Atlassian experience is now in ChatGPT with the new MCP extension points from the great @mxstbr and team! A home view where you can get right to work on whatever ya need to get done with one click. But honestly the best part might be the Composer @ mentions. You can search for work items, pages, and users by name and attach it as context without ever having to leave the chat box. One of my favorite things I've gotten a chance to work on in a while because I'm gonna use it literally every day. Check it out! What else do ya wanna see?
