So the first thing that we're going to do is basically go into the AI settings inside Directus and make sure that MCP is enabled. So we'll just click the MCP server and, you know, this template, which you can load in Directus cloud or self hosted, has everything you need to get started with CMS. It also has this reusable template prompts collection already enabled.

So now with that done, we're gonna go over to chat g p t, and we're gonna go into our settings down here. Inside the settings, we're gonna go to the apps and connectors.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>We're gonna click on advanced settings. And to use the Directus MCP inside chat GPT, again, with all the acronyms, you have to set up and enable developer mode, which is currently in beta. Alright.
