A-Share Data in Dots

Dots is OpenAI’s always-on agent. It uses the user’s own ChatGPT connectors; add our remote MCP as a ChatGPT plugin and Dots can query A-share data.

Dots has no separate MCP settings

There is no standalone MCP configuration inside Dots. Add a custom MCP server/plugin in ChatGPT first, then let Dots use apps connected to that ChatGPT account.

  • URL: https://api.ashareapi.com/mcp
  • Auth: Authorization: Bearer <ashareapi Key>
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Dots does not store its own MCP config

Before you start

  • The user’s own ChatGPT plan with Dots and custom MCP/plugin access
  • An ashareapi API key; use a separate read-only key
  • Verify the key: GET /v1/quote?code=sh600519

Add the MCP in ChatGPT

  • Open ChatGPT Plugins / Connectors
  • Choose Add custom MCP server
  • Enter https://api.ashareapi.com/mcp
  • Set Authorization: Bearer <Key>, or complete the auth flow shown
  • Install/enable the plugin

If the page only supports OAuth and cannot set a custom header, use the URL fallback: https://api.ashareapi.com/mcp?key=<Key>. Prefer headers when available.

Use it from Dots

Open Dots, confirm the MCP plugin is available under its connected apps, then ask.

Quotes and K-lines can start on the base allowance; financials, batch calls, screening and research need a higher tier. See the full pricing page.

FAQ

Can Dots configure MCP by itself?

No. Dots uses apps/plugins connected to the user’s ChatGPT account; add the custom MCP in ChatGPT first.

Does the developer need a ChatGPT subscription?

No. The developer only provides the MCP endpoint; the user brings their own ChatGPT account.

Bearer or Query Key?

Prefer a Bearer header in ChatGPT’s custom MCP setup. Use ?key= only when the client cannot set headers.

Why is there no custom MCP entry?

Usually a plan or admin restriction; use a supported plan or ask an admin to enable custom MCP/plugins.

Last updated: 2026-10-31
