Connect TrollWall (MCP) to Claude, ChatGPT & other AI apps

Connect TrollWall to the AI app you already use — like Claude or ChatGPT — and work with your social media comments in plain language. Step-by-step setup for Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP apps, plus your first query.

Written by Filip Strycko

Your job can be this easy:

"Show me 5 comments from last week worth answering, and draft a reply to each in our voice."

Connect TrollWall to the AI app you already use, and ask in plain language. You can run exactly this query at the end of this guide.

What this lets you do

Connecting TrollWall to the AI app you already use — like Claude or ChatGPT — lets you work with your social media comments in plain language: not just ask about them, but act on them too. Catch up on what people are saying, draft replies in your own voice, or hide and reply to comments right from the chat — no exports, no spreadsheets, no technical setup.

Before you start

You'll need three things in place:

  • A TrollWall account. If you don't have one yet, sign up at TrollWall first.

  • At least one social account connected in TrollWall (your Facebook, Instagram, etc. pages) — that's the data your AI app will use.

  • The AI app you'll use, such as Claude or ChatGPT, installed and signed in.

Got all three? Pick your app below.

Connect Claude

It takes about a minute. You'll add TrollWall to Claude once, and it stays connected.

  1. Open the Claude app.

  2. In the left menu, click Customize, then Connectors.

  3. At the top of the connectors list, click the + button (it says Add connector), then choose Add custom connector.

  4. A small window opens with two boxes to fill in:

    • Name — type TrollWall

    • Remote MCP server URL — type https://mcp.trollwall.ai/mcp

  5. Click Add.

Claude will open your browser and take you to TrollWall to confirm the connection. Click to confirm, and you're done — TrollWall now lives inside Claude.

✅ Connected? → Run your first query

Connect ChatGPT

Two things to know before you start — both are how ChatGPT works, not TrollWall:

  • You need a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus or higher). OpenAI doesn't allow connections like TrollWall on the free plan, so this step won't be available until you're on Plus.

  • Use ChatGPT in your web browser, at chatgpt.com. The Mac and Windows desktop apps can't add connections yet — only the website can. Once it's connected, it works everywhere.

Here's how:

  1. Go to chatgpt.com and sign in. Click your name in the bottom-right corner, then choose Settings.

  2. In Settings, choose Apps.

  3. Connections like TrollWall need Developer mode turned on. In Apps, click Advanced settings and switch on Developer mode.

    You'll see a label that says "Elevated risk." That's ChatGPT's standard wording for any tool you add yourself — it's expected here. You can safely continue.

  4. Go back to Apps and click Create app.

  5. Fill in just two boxes and tick one checkbox — leave everything else as it is:

    • Name — type TrollWall

    • Connection — type https://mcp.trollwall.ai/mcp

    • Tick I understand and want to continue

    Leave the rest on their defaults: Authentication stays on OAuth, the switch next to Connection stays on Server URL, and the optional fields (Description, Icon) can be left empty.

  6. Click Create.

A window appears titled "Add TrollWall to ChatGPT." Click Sign in with TrollWall. Your browser opens to confirm the connection — confirm it, and you're done.

Now use it in your desktop app. If you have the ChatGPT app on Mac or Windows, restart it once so it picks up the new connection. From then on, you can talk to TrollWall in the app — just start your message with @trollwall (for example, @trollwall show me last week's comments worth a reply).

✅ Connected? → Run your first query

Connect another app

TrollWall works with any AI app that supports MCP connections (sometimes called connectors or custom connectors). The exact steps depend on your app, but you'll only ever need these two details:

  • Server URL: https://mcp.trollwall.ai/mcp

  • Sign-in: OAuth — when prompted, sign in with your TrollWall account. There's no password or key to copy and paste.

In your app, look for a setting named Connectors, MCP servers, or Add custom connector (often under Settings, Integrations, or a similar menu). When it asks for a server address, paste the Server URL above, give it the name TrollWall, and save. Your browser will open to confirm the connection — confirm it, and you're done.

Some apps require a paid plan to add connections, and some only support adding them from their website rather than their desktop app. If you don't see a connectors or MCP option in your app, check its own help pages for "MCP" or "custom connector."

✅ Connected? → Run your first query

Run your first query

You're connected. Ask TrollWall in plain language, like you'd message a colleague. (In ChatGPT's desktop app, start with @trollwall.)

Start here — copy, paste, and fill in your voice:

"Show me 5 comments from last week worth answering, and draft a reply to each in our voice — [how you sound, e.g. 'warm and on first-name terms']."

You'll get a short list of recent comments, each with a ready-to-send draft in your voice — because you told it yours. That's the part worth seeing.

Then try:

"What are the main things people are saying in our comments this week — the recurring questions, complaints, and praise?"

If something doesn't work

A few quick things to check first:

  • It says you're not connected, or nothing happens when you ask. If you're using the ChatGPT app on Mac or Windows, close it fully and reopen it — it needs a restart to pick up the connection. Then try your question again, starting with @trollwall.

  • It says it can't find any comments. TrollWall is reading the right account, but there may be little or no recent comment activity yet. Try a wider time range (e.g. "in the last month"), or make sure the social account you expect is connected in TrollWall.

  • You can't add TrollWall in ChatGPT at all. Adding connections needs a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus or higher) and Developer mode switched on — see the Connect ChatGPT steps above.

Still stuck? Message us in the chat at the bottom-right of the TrollWall app — we'll help you get connected.
