This article covers two separate ways to use OpenAI ChatGPT with AEM:

  • Manually configure one or more of AEM’s MCP servers in ChatGPT (the servers described at Using MCP with AEM as a Cloud Service — MCP servers).
  • Install the Adobe Experience Manager plugin from the ChatGPT plugin marketplace. It currently has feature parity with Content MCP Server and will expose a growing subset of tools available in AEM’s MCP servers.

Manually configure AEM’s MCP servers in ChatGPT manual-configure-aems-mcp-servers-in-chatgpt

This section describes the manual configuration approach, where you add one or more of AEM’s MCP servers to ChatGPT as custom plugins.

  • Add one or more AEM MCP server URLs in the area where MCP connections or tools are configured.

  • Trigger the connection and sign in with your Adobe ID when redirected.

  • In a chat, reference the configured AEM Tools in your prompts, for example:

    code language-none 
    "Using the configured AEM MCP tools, list all sites in the author environment."
