it’s immediately available when you open the Claude or ChatGPT app on your phone — no extra steps, no re-configuring on mobile.
That is not true for ChatGPT custom MCP connectors: OpenAI documents them as web-only, not available in the mobile apps.
Full reasoning
The sentence says that after adding the connector once in a browser, it will be available in the Claude or ChatGPT app on your phone with no mobile reconfiguration.
For ChatGPT, OpenAI’s own documentation says otherwise. The ChatGPT help article for developer mode and full MCP connectors says the feature is available on ChatGPT web and answers the mobile question directly: MCP connectors are not available on mobile; they are web-only.
That means the statement is inaccurate as written for ChatGPT mobile. Even if this workflow works for Claude, the article explicitly includes ChatGPT app on your phone, which OpenAI’s documentation contradicts.
