Request for early access to MCP App publishing (fully working app)

OpenAI Developer Community March 21, 2026

Hi,

I’ve built a fully functional ChatGPT App using a custom MCP server hosted at:

https://mcp.guiaturist.com

The app is already working end-to-end inside ChatGPT (DEV mode) and includes:

  • OAuth authentication via Auth0 (RS256 JWT validation)
  • MCP tools (search_restaurants)
  • Interactive UI widget rendered inside ChatGPT
  • NLP-based query interpretation (e.g. “where to eat ceviche” → category mapping)
  • MongoDB backend with real restaurant data

Full flow: User → Widget → MCP → NLP → MongoDB → structured results → ChatGPT UI

The application is deployed on a public domain and fully operational.

I’m currently using ChatGPT Plus and would like to request early access to the app publishing / review flow to submit it to the directory.

Happy to provide a demo or any additional details if needed.

Thanks!

Example of the app running inside ChatGPT (DEV mode).

First image shows successful restaurant results retrieved from MongoDB after NLP-based query interpretation. Second image shows the fallback case when no results are found.
