Connect Tineo to ChatGPT and ask about your trips

On this page

Connecting Tineo to ChatGPT gives you a way to ask about your saved trips from a ChatGPT conversation. Start by linking the right account, then ask for a simple itinerary summary. Once that works, use follow-up questions to think through the plans around your bookings.

The setup described here is Tineo’s custom connection route. It is not a claim that Tineo is available as a public, one-click app in every ChatGPT account. Begin with the ChatGPT tab on Tineo’s Claude & ChatGPT settings page, which provides the connection address and account-linking instructions.

This guide is published by Tineo. Connection guidance was checked September 14, 2026 against our setup screen and official OpenAI documentation. Availability and labels can vary by account, workspace, and rollout.

Check access before starting

OpenAI’s Developer mode documentation currently lists Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education accounts on the web. Its workspace help describes different rollout and permission limits. Because those pages do not describe identical availability, check the controls offered in your own account before subscribing or expecting a particular action to work.

If you use a managed workspace, ask its owner or administrator whether Tineo is already approved. You may be able to use an existing workspace app instead of creating one yourself. If the necessary controls are unavailable, you can still use the Assistant inside Tineo.

Link Tineo from ChatGPT’s app settings

Open Tineo’s connection page, choose ChatGPT, and copy the address shown there:

https://api.tineo.ai/mcp

In ChatGPT on the web, use the creation flow available to your account. The current developer documentation points to Developer mode in Settings → Security and login, then the plus button on ChatGPT Plugins. Create a connection named Tineo and supply the address above. Choose OAuth when asked how to sign in, complete Tineo authorization, and finish the connection. OpenAI’s connection guide explains the current flow. Workspace-managed accounts may instead expose app creation through their Apps settings.

If labels differ from Tineo’s screen, follow the current OpenAI instructions rather than searching indefinitely for an older “Connectors” label. Do not paste passwords, access tokens, or booking confirmations into the connection-address field.

Make the first question easy to verify

Start a chat and select Tineo using the app menu available in your account. Ask:

Use Tineo to show my upcoming trips. Do not add or change anything.

Pick one you recognize. Then ask for information already in its itinerary:

Summarize my arrival day for this trip. Include the flight and hotel details you can find, and say what is missing.

Compare the answer with Tineo. You are checking that the connection uses the intended account and actual saved information. A polished answer about a destination is not proof that ChatGPT has read your itinerary.

Ask for a decision, then an action

For planning, try a bounded question: “Given the arrival plan, suggest one easy activity before dinner.” Tell ChatGPT whether you want ideas only or want to save a selected option afterward. The relaxed-day walkthrough gives a reusable example.

What the connection can change depends on its permissions and your ChatGPT access. Review confirmations when presented and check Tineo after an update. Do not assume an itinerary change bought a ticket, changed an airline booking, or notified a provider.

When the connection needs attention

If ChatGPT cannot find a trip, first confirm it exists in the linked Tineo account. If Tineo is unavailable in the app picker, check the active workspace and its approved apps. If sign-in has expired, reconnect through the app settings. For persistent problems, share the error wording with Tineo support, omitting credentials.

Use ChatGPT’s app settings to manage or disconnect access. Review Tineo’s privacy policy and the policies for your ChatGPT account before connecting. The goal is a useful conversation about the trip you chose, with a clear distinction between exploring ideas and changing saved plans.
