Using CheckView with ChatGPT
You can connect CheckView to ChatGPT by building a Custom GPT with an action that calls the CheckView REST API. Once it is connected, you can ask ChatGPT to list your websites, trigger test runs, and read results in plain language.
If you work in Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, use the CheckView MCP server instead. ChatGPT does not use MCP for Custom GPTs, so it connects through an action built from our OpenAPI spec.
Before you start
You will need a CheckView Personal Access Token:
- In the CheckView dashboard, go to Organization Settings → API Tokens.
- Click Create token, give it a name (for example “ChatGPT”), and copy the
cvpat_value. It is shown only once and cannot be retrieved later.
Create a Custom GPT with CheckView access
- In ChatGPT, click Explore GPTs in the sidebar, then click Create.
- Open the Configure tab and scroll down to Actions.
- Click Create new action.
- Click Import from URL and enter the CheckView OpenAPI spec, then import it:
https://api.checkview.io/docs-json
- Under Authentication, choose API Key, set Auth Type to Bearer, and paste your
cvpat_token. - Save the GPT.
ChatGPT lists the endpoints it detected once the spec imports successfully. Each action has a Test button, which is the quickest way to confirm your token works before you save.
Then start a chat with your GPT and try a prompt like “List my CheckView websites”.
Notes
- Requests from your Custom GPT count against your organization’s API rate limits: 60 requests per minute on any paid plan, and 10 per minute without an active subscription. See REST API — Getting Started for the rate limit headers returned on every response.
- Your token carries your account’s permissions, so treat it like a password. You can revoke it any time from Organization Settings → API Tokens.
- ChatGPT’s builder labels change from time to time. If a label does not match exactly, look for the equivalent step: import the OpenAPI spec from
https://api.checkview.io/docs-json, then authenticate with your token as a bearer token.
