ChatGPT apps with Auth login credentials

Hi,

I’d recommend to check this link:

developers.openai.com

Submit and maintain your app – Apps SDK | OpenAI Developers

Learn how to submit your app to the ChatGPT Apps Directory and Codex Plugin Directory.

Based on what I found on this document, I’d recommend to check the part that seems most relevant is the common rejection reason: “We’re unable to connect to your MCP server using the MCP URL and/or test credentials we were given.”

The docs say that for authenticated servers, the review team must be able to log into a demo account with no further configuration required and the credentials should not require MFA, SMS, email or other verification schemes.

So even if the special email bypass works on your side, I’d test it from a fresh browser/session outside your own network, make sure it does not depend on existing cookies/session state and describe the exact reviewer login path clearly in the submission notes.

If it still gets rejected after that, I’d contact OpenAI Support /review with the case ID from the submission email and ask which exact login step failed.
