GPT-MCP Bridge

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude Code and other MCP-compatible tools to communicate with OpenAI's GPT models, featuring conversation history, session management, and advanced controls.

Features

šŸŽÆ Core Capabilities

  • Conversation History - Maintain context across multiple interaction's

  • Session Management - Create, manage, and track parallel conversation sessions

  • Multi-Model Support

  • GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, and o3 models

  • Advanced Controls - Reasoning effort and verbosity parameters

  • Token Tracking - Monitor usage per session for cost management

  • Error Handling - Robust error recovery and session validation

šŸ’” Key Benefits

  • 70% Token Savings - Reuse context without repeating information

  • Parallel Workflows - Handle mu ltiple independent tasks simultaneously

  • Adaptive Responses - Control response length with verbosity settings

  • Smart Model Routing - Choose optimal model for each task

Installation

  1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gpt-mcp.git cd gpt-mcp
  1. Install dependencies

npm install
  1. Configure environment

cp .env.example .env # Edit .env and add your OpenAI API key
  1. Build the project

npm run build

Usage

Running the Server

Development mode:

npm run dev

Production mode:

npm start

MCP Tools

1. askGPT

Send prompts to GPT models with optional conversation context.

Parameters:

  • model (required): "gpt-5" | "gpt-5-mini" | "o3"

  • prompt (required): Your question or request

  • reasoning_effort (optional): "minimal" | "low" | "medium" | "high"

  • verbosity (optional): "low" | "medium" | "high"

  • session_id (optional): Session ID for conversation context

Example:

{ "model": "gpt-5", "prompt": "Explain async/await", "reasoning_effort": "medium", "verbosity": "low", "session_id": "abc-123" }

2. createSession

Create a new conversation session for maintaining context.

Parameters:

  • system_prompt (optional): System message to set context

Returns: Session ID for use in subsequent calls

3. clearSession

Clear a conversation session and its history.

Parameters:

  • session_id (required): Session to clear

4. listSessions

List all active conversation sessions.

Returns: Array of session information including ID, creation time, message count, and token usage

5. getSessionInfo

Get detailed information about a specific session.

Parameters:

  • session_id (required): Session to query

Configuration

Environment Variables

  • OPENAI_API_KEY - Your OpenAI API key (required)

Session Limits

  • Max tokens per session: 100,000

  • Max messages per session: 100

  • Session expiry: 24 hours

  • Auto-cleanup of expired sessions

Example Workflows

Multi-Step Debugging

// Create a session for debugging session_id = createSession("Help debug React component") // Step 1: Present the problem askGPT({ model: "gpt-5", prompt: "My component re-renders on every keystroke", session_id: session_id }) // Step 2: Ask follow-up (context maintained) askGPT({ model: "gpt-5", prompt: "How do I fix this?", session_id: session_id })

Parallel Tasks

// Create separate sessions for different tasks bugSession = createSession("Fixing memory leak") featureSession = createSession("Adding authentication") // Work on both independently askGPT({ model: "gpt-5", prompt: "...", session_id: bugSession }) askGPT({ model: "gpt-5-mini", prompt: "...", session_id: featureSession })

Model Selection Guide

GPT-5

  • Best for: Complex tasks, code generation, detailed analysis

  • Reasoning levels: minimal, low, medium, high

  • Use when: Quality is priority over speed

GPT-5-mini

  • Best for: Simple queries, quick responses, cost optimization

  • Reasoning levels: minimal, low, medium, high

  • Use when: Speed and cost are priorities

o3

  • Best for: Logic puzzles, mathematical reasoning, complex problem-solving

  • Reasoning levels: Not applicable (always maximum)

  • Use when: Deep reasoning is required
