ChatGPT adds a remote MCP server as a **plugin**. Kuro is one: once it is added
and you have signed in, you call it with `@` in any new conversation, and what it
makes lands in your Kuro library.

Kuro is not in ChatGPT's plugin directory, so you add it yourself, on ChatGPT on
the web. It takes a minute.

## Add Kuro

1. Open [chatgpt.com/plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins).
2. Select the plus button, then **Add custom MCP server**.
3. Name it `Kuro`. The description is optional.
4. Under **Connection**, enter this server URL:

   ```text
   https://api.meetkuro.com/mcp
   ```

5. For authentication, choose **OAuth**. Leave the client credentials empty:
   Kuro supports both ways ChatGPT registers itself, so there is no client ID to
   paste.
6. Read the risk warning and select **I understand and want to continue**.
7. Select **Create as a plugin**. ChatGPT lists the tools it found on Kuro.
8. Find Kuro in your personal plugins and **install** it.

When ChatGPT sends you to Kuro, sign in (or create an account), review what
ChatGPT may do, and approve the connection.

If **Add custom MCP server** is missing, your workspace may not allow custom
servers: OpenAI applies workspace permissions to them.

## Use it

Start a new conversation, type `@`, choose **Kuro**, and ask:

> @Kuro Three vertical images of a charcoal running shoe on a cracked salt
> flat at dawn. Price it first.

ChatGPT asks you to confirm before a tool that changes something runs, and
shows you what it is about to send. Kuro marks its reading tools as read-only,
so listing your library or checking your credits goes through without a prompt,
while starting a generation waits for your yes. You can remember an approval for
the rest of a conversation; a new conversation asks again.

To use your own picture, attach it to the message. ChatGPT hands Kuro a link to
the file and Kuro fetches it. Attach from the web: files attached in ChatGPT's
phone apps have been reaching servers without a link Kuro can download.

## When Kuro changes

Kuro adds tools from time to time. To pick them up, open the plugin from
[chatgpt.com/plugins](https://chatgpt.com/plugins), select **Refresh**, and start
a new conversation.

## Remove it

Remove the plugin in ChatGPT. To cut every agent off at once, revoke the
connection in Kuro under **Settings → Connections**.

These steps follow OpenAI's
[custom MCP server documentation](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/custom-mcp-server).
If a label on your screen differs from the one here, that page has the current
one.

## About Kuro

Kuro is an AI picture studio: prompt-driven images, clips, voice-overs and music, and storyboard-backed films with consistent characters across every scene.

Agents connect over MCP and can generate directly:

```
claude mcp add kuro https://api.meetkuro.com/mcp --transport http
```

The app is at https://app.meetkuro.com and requires an account.

Each guide, model page, comparison and free tool page on this site (not a tool's variants, and not the index pages) has a Markdown twin at its own URL plus `.md`, and so do /benchmarks/, the English /agents/ page (as /agents.md) and the MCP tool reference. Every guide: https://meetkuro.com/guides/
