Description
### App
OpenAI MCP Integration
### Summary:
MCP connector hangs when added to OpenAI Playground – no tools load
### Details:
I'm attempting to follow Pipedream’s official guide to connect MCP to OpenAI: https://pipedream.com/docs/connect/mcp/ai-frameworks/openai
I’m using the token provided in the docs: devtok_16463db2-93f4-46ad-994b-0018c02c2320
I'm on an OpenAI Business plan with Developer Mode enabled.
When I open OpenAI Playground → Tools → Add → Pipedream and paste the token, the “Add Connector” modal spins indefinitely. No apps or tools are listed, no errors are shown, and the flow never completes.
I’ve tried:
- Chrome, Firefox
- Incognito, hard refresh, cleared cookies
- Valid token confirmed
- MCP spec reviewed: expecting server to respond with `list_tools` per spec
The dev console in Chrome shows occasional 401/424 errors on `list_tools` or tool discovery requests. The integration never succeeds.
Can you confirm:
- Is this MCP token and server currently working?
- Does it return valid tool schema (`type`, `function`, `parameters`, etc.) required by OpenAI MCP?
- Are there known issues or outages with OpenAI Playground integrations?
This is blocking my cockpit build. I need confirmation if this connector is currently usable and functional in Playground or if I must build a custom MCP-compliant server.
Thanks,
