Getting Started with Eranol Connector (ChatGPT)

This guide walks you through connecting the Eranol Connector to ChatGPT and using it to edit video/audio, generate images, and publish to social media — all from a normal chat with ChatGPT, with no coding required. This is the ChatGPT counterpart to the Claude connector guide.

What this is

Eranol Connector links ChatGPT to eranol.com's video/audio editing, AI image generation, and social publishing tools via a remote MCP server. Once connected, you can ask ChatGPT in plain language to do things like "trim this video to the first 30 seconds" or "add captions to this clip" or "generate an image of a sunset and post it to X" — ChatGPT handles the API calls for you.

Every action costs eranol.com credits from your own account (the same as if you called their API directly). This connector doesn't add any markup or fees of its own — it's just the bridge that lets ChatGPT use your eranol.com account on your behalf.

Note: unlike the Claude connector (which uses a pasted API key), this connector authenticates ChatGPT via OAuth — you'll log into eranol.com and approve access, no key copying required.

Requirements

  • A ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan. Developer Mode (needed to add custom connectors) is not available on Free or Business plans.
  • An eranol.com account. You do not need to manually create an API key for this flow — the OAuth login handles that for you (though you can still use the manual-key method from the Claude guide if you prefer; see Alternative: static key auth).

If you don't already have eranol.com credits, top up your balance before continuing, or the tools will fail with an "insufficient credits" error the first time you use them.

Step 1 — Turn on Developer Mode

  1. In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Apps → Advanced settings.
  2. Toggle Developer mode on.

Step 2 — Add the connector

  1. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Create (or Add custom connector).
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Eranol Connector
    • Description (optional): Video/audio editing, AI image generation, and social publishing via eranol.com.
    • MCP Server URL:
      https://eranol-connector-production.up.railway.app/mcp
      
    • Authentication: choose OAuth. You should not need to enter a client ID or secret — the connector's authorization server is discovered automatically from the MCP server.
  4. Save. ChatGPT will redirect you to eranol.com to log in (if you aren't already) and approve access.
  5. Approve the request. You'll be redirected back to ChatGPT with the connector connected.

Exact field names/layout may differ slightly depending on your ChatGPT version — OpenAI updates this UI periodically. Look for "Server URL," "Authentication," or "OAuth" if the labels above don't match exactly.

Step 3 — Turn the connector on in a chat

  1. Start a new chat with ChatGPT.
  2. Click the + button near the message box (or open the tools/connectors menu).
  3. Select Eranol Connector.

Depending on your ChatGPT settings, connectors may need to be enabled per-chat rather than applying automatically to every conversation.

Step 4 — Check it's working

Ask ChatGPT:

"Verify my eranol.com connection is working"

ChatGPT will call the connector's verify tool and tell you whether the connection is valid. If it isn't, try disconnecting and reconnecting the connector in Settings → Connectors — this re-runs the OAuth login.

What you can ask ChatGPT to do

Once connected, just describe what you want in plain language. Some examples:

Video editing

  • "Trim this video (paste URL) to just the first 15 seconds"
  • "Add burned-in captions to this video"
  • "Add a watermark logo to the top-right corner of this video"
  • "Concatenate these three video clips in order, with a fade transition between them"
  • "Extract the audio from this video as a WAV file"
  • "Generate a GIF from this video, seconds 10 to 20"
  • "Reframe this video to a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio for TikTok"

Audio editing

  • "Remove the background noise from this audio file"
  • "Enhance this voice recording and normalize the loudness for Spotify"
  • "Trim the silent gaps out of this podcast recording"
  • "Find the 5 most exciting highlight moments in this recording"

Image generation

  • "Generate an image of a mountain landscape at sunset"

Format conversion

  • "Convert this WebM video to MP4"
  • "Convert this PNG to WebP"

Social publishing

  • "Post this to X: 'New feature just shipped!' with this image attached"
  • "Publish this video to TikTok with the caption 'Check this out!'"

Combining steps ChatGPT can chain multiple tools together in one request, for example:

"Take this raw video, remove the background noise from the audio, add auto-generated captions, put a watermark in the corner, and then post the result to X with the caption 'New tutorial is live!'"

ChatGPT will run each step, wait for processing to finish where needed, and report back the final result.

Good to know

  • Processing takes time. Video/audio/image jobs run in the background on eranol.com's servers. ChatGPT will automatically wait and check progress — for longer videos, this can take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. You don't need to do anything during this wait.
  • Files must already be online. Any video, audio, or image you want processed needs to be at a public URL ChatGPT can pass along (e.g. a link you already have, or a file eranol.com is already hosting from a previous step in the same conversation) — you can't upload a file straight from your computer through this connector.
  • X/Twitter posting costs more than other actions (20 credits per post) and there's no "undo" once it's posted — use it deliberately, not for testing.
  • Files expire after 24 hours. Eranol.com automatically deletes hosted files a day after they're created, so download or repost anything you want to keep before then.
  • Errors are shown, not hidden. If something fails — invalid input, low credits, an eranol.com outage — ChatGPT will show you the actual error message rather than pretending it worked, so you always know what to fix.
  • Your OAuth login stays scoped to eranol.com. ChatGPT never sees your eranol.com password — only a short-lived access token, the same as logging into any other app with "Sign in with X."

Alternative: static key auth

If OAuth isn't available in your ChatGPT version, or you'd rather not go through the login flow, this connector still accepts a static API key the same way the Claude connector does: set an x-api-key header (see the Claude connector guide, Step 1–2) if your ChatGPT connector UI exposes a custom-headers field. Not all ChatGPT versions expose this — OAuth is the better-supported path for ChatGPT connectors.

Troubleshooting

Questions or issues

This connector is a thin bridge to eranol.com's own API — all processing, billing, and account management happens on eranol.com's side. For billing questions or account issues, contact eranol.com support. For issues with the connector itself (connection errors, missing tools), reach out to whoever shared this connector with you.
