How to connect ScanToPitch to ChatGPT (and chat with your leads)

Burghardt Doerffer · Founder, ScanToPitch

A step-by-step guide to connecting ScanToPitch to ChatGPT with MCP, so you can find, score and pitch local businesses from a normal chat window.

If you already draft outreach in ChatGPT, connecting it to ScanToPitch removes the copy-paste in the middle. Instead of running a scan in one tab and pasting results into another, ChatGPT can run the scan itself and write the pitch from the real findings. Here is how to set it up.

What you need first

A paid ScanToPitch account (API and MCP access are part of every paid plan) and a ChatGPT setup that supports MCP connectors. That is it. No servers to host, no code.

Step 1: open the Connect AI page

In ScanToPitch, open Connect AI from the sidebar. It is the in-app guide for wiring any assistant to your account, with the exact server address and both connection options laid out.

Step 2: connect with one click or a key

You have two ways in. The click-to-connect flow uses OAuth: you approve the connection on a consent screen and you are done, no key to copy. Alternatively, create an API key on your account page and paste it into ChatGPT's connector settings. Either way, the connection is scoped to your account and your credits.

Step 3: talk to it

Once connected, ChatGPT can see the ScanToPitch tools. Try: 'Scan for roofers in Cologne, then list the ten weakest websites with their scores.' It starts the scan, polls until it is done, and returns the leads. Follow up with 'draft a short first email for lead number three' and it writes from that business's real problems.

A note on spending

Scans cost credits, and the assistant spends from your balance just like the app does. But buying credits is human-only: if you run low, the assistant hands you a link instead of charging anything. You stay in control of the money; the AI just does the work.

Where to go next

The same connection works in Claude and other MCP clients, so nothing here is ChatGPT-specific. For a list of things worth asking once you are connected, see our prompt guide.
