ChatGPT supports MCP-backed apps through the ChatGPT Plugins/App setup flow. Availability depends on the user's plan, workspace settings, role, supported surface, region, and the capabilities exposed by the Kommon Poll app.
1. What This Enables
When connected, ChatGPT can use Kommon Poll tools to:
- List saved searches available to the authorized user or team.
- Retrieve overview analytics for a saved search.
- Retrieve individual mentions for evidence and qualitative analysis.
- Generate summaries, briefs, tables, reports, and follow-up questions from Kommon Poll data.
- Combine Kommon Poll results with ChatGPT document, file, chart, presentation, or research capabilities when those capabilities are enabled.
2. Availability
Before setup, confirm:
- Your ChatGPT plan and workspace allow custom apps, plugins, or MCP connectors.
- Your workspace administrator allows the connector.
- Kommon Poll MCP access is enabled for your Kommon Poll team or package.
- You know which Kommon Poll team should be authorized.
Do not assume that tools available in one ChatGPT mode are available in every mode.
3. Connect Kommon Poll
Use the ChatGPT Plugins/App setup flow for a public MCP endpoint.
- Open ChatGPT Plugins or the workspace app/plugin management page.
- Select the plus button to create a new app or plugin connection.
- Enter
Kommon Pollas the user-facing name and describe it as social-intelligence access for saved searches, overview analytics, and mentions. - Under Connection, choose a public endpoint.
- Enter the MCP server URL, including the
/mcppath:
https://mcp.kommonpoll.com/mcp
- Create the connection.
- Review the discovered Kommon Poll tools and metadata.
- Start a chat where the Kommon Poll app or plugin is enabled.
- Invoke a Kommon Poll tool to start the OAuth flow.
- Sign in to Kommon Poll, select the correct team, review scopes, and approve access.
4. Test The Connection
Use this prompt:
What Kommon Poll saved searches can you access? Return only the saved-search name, team if available, and a short description of what each search appears to monitor.
Then use:
Use the "Brand Monitoring" saved search and summarize the last 7 days. State the Kommon Poll tool used, date range, filters, and any missing data limitations.
5. First Prompts
List the Kommon Poll projects you can access and ask me which one to analyze.
Summarize the last 7 days for the selected saved search by mentions, sentiment, reach, interactions, influence, and platform mix.
Find the 10 most influential negative mentions from the last 30 days. Include source links, platform, timestamp, sentiment, and why each mention matters.
Compare sentiment by platform for this campaign and explain which platform needs the most attention.
Identify emerging topics in the last 14 days. Separate measured Kommon Poll data from your interpretation.
6. Reusable ChatGPT Instructions
For a recurring Kommon Poll workflow, use instructions like:
When I ask about brand, campaign, competitor, or customer conversation data, use Kommon Poll before answering. First resolve the saved search if it is ambiguous. State the saved search, date range, timezone, filters, and tools used. Use overview data for quantitative claims and mention records for evidence. Separate observed data from interpretation and recommendations.
7. Research, Tasks, And Files
When the relevant tools are enabled, ChatGPT can combine Kommon Poll results with:
- Uploaded briefs.
- Prior reports.
- Spreadsheets or CSV exports.
- Generated tables and charts.
- Presentation or document creation.
- Web research or deep research workflows.
ChatGPT scheduled tasks can run recurring prompts. OpenAI's August 25, 2026 release notes list webhook-triggered task support for Gmail messages, Slack channel messages, and GitHub pull request activity. For recurring Kommon Poll reports with strict timing, retries, logging, or delivery guarantees, use a backend job with the Kommon Poll API.
8. Troubleshooting
| Issue | What to check |
|---|---|
| Kommon Poll connector is not shown | Confirm plan, workspace admin settings, and current app/connector availability. |
| Authorization loops | Disconnect and reconnect, then confirm browser cookies and pop-up restrictions. |
| Wrong team is used | Reconnect and select the correct Kommon Poll team. |
| ChatGPT does not call Kommon Poll | Ask explicitly to use Kommon Poll and confirm tools are enabled for the conversation. |
| Tool unavailable in a mode | Try a normal conversation or another enabled mode, and check plan, workspace, region, and surface availability. |
