chatgpt-use

name	chatgpt-use
description	Turn the user's ChatGPT web subscription (Plus/Pro) into a coding-agent backend — no API key, no Codex billing. Use when the user wants to delegate a question, plan, review, debug pass, or whole task to ChatGPT ("ask ChatGPT", "让 ChatGPT 看看/做", "second opinion from GPT"), route work through their paid web subscription instead of API tokens, expose local files/terminal to ChatGPT via its MCP connector, or run ChatGPT as a drop-in Anthropic-compatible model endpoint. Built on chrome-use; requires a Chrome profile logged in to chatgpt.com.

chatgpt-use

Drives the user's logged-in ChatGPT web conversation through chrome-use and wires it into the local machine. Work runs on the flat subscription the user already pays for — not the API, not the Codex-usage bucket.

Install / self-heal: if chatgpt-use is missing, install from the GitHub Release, then retry:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeguooooo/chatgpt-use/main/install.sh | sh

Requires chrome-use on PATH (curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeguooooo/chrome-use/main/install.sh | sh) and a Chrome profile logged in to chatgpt.com.

Pick the mode

# Sidekick — one round trip, caller stays the brain
chatgpt-use ask "<question>" [--file <path> ...]
git diff | chatgpt-use ask "Explain what changed and what might break"

# Structured delegation — plan/review/debug/research verdict packet, optionally --model pro
chatgpt-use ask "<task>" --mode plan|review|debug|research --file <ctx> [--json] [--model pro]
chatgpt-use handoff plan.json --to codex|claude-code [--execute]   # dry-run without --execute

# Closed loop — ChatGPT DOES the task on the project via its MCP connector and reports back
chatgpt-use work "<task>" [--loop] [--max-turns N]     # needs connector + mcp --profile full running

# MCP channel — give ChatGPT native tools on this machine
chatgpt-use mcp --port 8788 --cwd <project>            # read-only by default, safe to tunnel
#   --profile full --permission-mode trusted|dangerous  # write/bash — trusted/local only

# Experimental: local agent loop (run) / Anthropic-compatible endpoint (serve)
chatgpt-use run "<task>" [--approve]
chatgpt-use serve --port 8787    # then ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8787 claude

One-time setup: chatgpt-use init (writes ~/.chatgpt-use/auth.json). Shared flags: --model instant|medium|high|"extra high"|pro (pro is browser-only), --profile auto|relay|"Profile N", --session <tab-group>, --project <ChatGPT Project>.

Agent etiquette

• mcp --profile full --permission-mode dangerous hands ChatGPT a real terminal — only on the user's explicit request, never tunnel it, keep the token secret.
• The web surface rate-limits; on a rate-limit dialog, back off rather than hammering.
• chatgpt-use --help / <subcommand> --help for the full surface.
