ChatGPT does not natively support MCP yet (as of mid-2026). For ChatGPT, use the “MITS Academy AI” chat widget on every page of mitsacademy.in — it provides the same data via the chat interface.
Try MITS AIOpen standard, no lock-in
MCP is an open protocol from Anthropic. Spec at modelcontextprotocol.io . Any MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents) can connect.
