squirrelscan for ChatGPT
Turn on developer mode, add squirrelscan as a connector, and run a full website audit without leaving the chat.
ChatGPT doesn't run a CLI or have a terminal, so this one works differently from our other tool pages. Instead of installing anything, you add squirrelscan as a connector in developer mode. From there you just ask: audit a URL, and squirrelscan's hosted MCP server does the crawling, the 249-rule analysis, and the scoring in the cloud, then hands the results back into the conversation.
Worth saying plainly: ChatGPT is the interface here, not the engine. The audit itself runs on squirrelscan's infrastructure with real browser rendering, the same cloud audits you'd trigger from the dashboard or the API. That also means it spends credits, and ChatGPT is expected to show you the estimate before it starts anything.
Setup
- 1
Turn on developer mode
In ChatGPT, go to Settings, then Apps & Connectors, then Advanced settings, and toggle on Developer mode. It needs a Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu account. Note that on an individual Plus or Pro plan, custom MCP connectors are read-only, full write access (needed to kick off audits) requires a Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace with an admin enabling it.

Add squirrelscan as a custom connector
Go to Settings, then Apps & Connectors, then Create. Give it a name, set the connector URL to the hosted MCP endpoint, and choose OAuth for authentication.

Sign in and pick your organization
Approving the connector runs the same OAuth flow as every other squirrelscan MCP client: you sign in, choose which organization the agent should act for, and approve. Nothing to copy or paste.

Ask for an audit
Once the connector shows as connected, just ask in plain language. The first call returns a credit estimate; approve it and the audit runs, usually a few minutes for a mid-size site.

Get the report
Ask for a summary for a quick read, or the full detail if you're planning fixes. ChatGPT pulls it straight from the finished report, scores, top issues grouped by rule, and fix text included.

Frequently asked questions
- Can ChatGPT audit a website directly, without any other tool?
- Yes, once squirrelscan is added as a connector in developer mode. ChatGPT calls the hosted MCP server, which runs the crawl and the 249-rule analysis in squirrelscan's cloud and returns the report into the chat.
- Does the audit run inside ChatGPT?
- No. ChatGPT is the interface. The crawl, rendering, and rule analysis all run on squirrelscan's cloud infrastructure, the same engine behind the CLI and dashboard. ChatGPT just calls the tools and shows you the result.
- Will it spend credits without asking?
- No. The first run_audit call returns a cost estimate instead of starting anything, and ChatGPT is expected to show you that estimate and get a confirmation before the audit actually runs. Small audits under the estimate threshold start right away.
- Why does it say my connector is read-only?
- Individual Plus and Pro accounts get read-only custom MCP connectors even with developer mode on. Running an audit is a write action, so it needs a Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace with an admin enabling full MCP connectors.
