How it fits together

Plugins, apps and MCP, in one picture.

A plugin is what you install. Inside it are apps that connect ChatGPT to a service, skills that teach it a workflow, and templates to start from. Every app runs on an MCP server, and you can connect your own servers directly in developer mode.

Do ChatGPT plugins still exist?
Yes, as something new. The original 2023 plugins shut down in April 2024. On July 9, 2026, OpenAI replaced the App Directory with the Plugin Directory, and a ChatGPT plugin is now a package of apps, skills and app templates that works in both ChatGPT and Codex.The full timeline
How do I install a ChatGPT plugin?
Open the Plugins tab in ChatGPT (or chatgpt.com/plugins), open the plugin's page and select the plus button. Connect the outside account if asked, then start a new chat: a plugin's tools only appear in chats started after you install it.Step-by-step guide
What's the difference between plugins, apps and MCP servers?
A plugin is what you install. Inside it are apps that connect ChatGPT to a service, skills that teach it a workflow, and templates to start from. Every app runs on an MCP server, and you can connect your own MCP servers directly in developer mode.Read the explainer
How are plugins ranked in this directory?
