Etlaq for ChatGPT

What it does

Once connected, you can ask ChatGPT to do the following with your Etlaq account:

• List your Etlaq projects, including ones shared with you.
• Show details of a single project, including its preview and published URL.
• Check whether a project is currently live, and see its deployment history.
• Publish or republish a project to the web.
• Ask Etlaq to build or change an application inside an existing project.
• Check whether a build has finished and whether it succeeded.

How to connect

• In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Plugins, and add a new plugin.
• Enter the Etlaq MCP server URL: https://www.etlaq.sa/api/mcp
• Choose OAuth as the authentication method.
• You will be sent to Etlaq to sign in and review the permissions being requested.
• Approve the request. ChatGPT never receives your Etlaq password.

Permissions

The permissions you approve on the Etlaq screen decide what ChatGPT can do. Each one is requested separately, and a request without a permission is refused by Etlaq even if ChatGPT attempts it.

• View your Etlaq projects.
• View deployment status and history.
• Publish and republish your projects.
• View the progress of application builds.
• Build and modify your applications, using your Etlaq credits.

Costs and real-world effects

Two actions have real consequences and are marked as such so ChatGPT asks you to confirm before running them.

Publishing a project builds it and puts it on a public URL, replacing whatever was previously served there, and uses your account build allowance. Asking Etlaq to build or change an application consumes your Etlaq credits in exactly the same way as building inside Etlaq directly.

Builds run in the background and usually take several minutes. ChatGPT will report a build as started, not finished, and can check its progress when you ask.

What Etlaq receives

Etlaq receives only what is needed to carry out the action you asked for: your Etlaq user identity, the project you named, and, when you ask for a build, the description you provided. Etlaq does not receive your ChatGPT conversation history.

Requests are logged for security and troubleshooting, including the action taken, the project, and a request identifier. Access tokens, authorization headers, and secrets are never written to logs.

Guest accounts

Guest Etlaq sessions are temporary and cannot be connected to ChatGPT. You need a full Etlaq account. If you try to connect while signed in as a guest, Etlaq will say so and offer to sign you in.

Disconnecting

Remove the Etlaq plugin in ChatGPT to disconnect it. This revokes the access it was granted, and any further request from that connection is refused.

Disconnecting does not delete anything in your Etlaq account. Projects, deployments, and published sites are unaffected.

Troubleshooting

• ChatGPT says a permission was not granted: reconnect and approve the permission it names.
• ChatGPT cannot find a project: ask it to list your projects first, so it uses the right identifier.
• A tool says you are going too fast: Etlaq limits how often builds and deployments can be started. Wait a moment and try again.
• A project you can only view cannot be published or modified. Ask its owner for edit access in Etlaq.
