Works with ChatGPT & Claude
Connect your AI assistant to OyaLink
Once connected, your assistant can search verified pros and — after you sign in — look up your own profile, listing, bookings and leads.
Your OyaLink connection link
Copy this and paste it into your assistant when it asks for a server or connector URL. Or scan the QR code from your phone.

Troubleshooting
Common connection errors
If the assistant fails to connect, can’t see your tools, or returns unexpected errors, try these fixes in order.
“Could not connect to server” or 404
- 1Check that the copied URL exactly matches the connection link above (no trailing spaces or extra characters).
- 2Make sure the URL starts with
https://and ends with/mcp. - 3Try opening the URL directly in a browser tab — it should return a small JSON response. If it shows an error, the assistant will see the same error.
- 4Refresh the connector and, if the URL changed, delete and re-add it.
“Sign-in failed” or “Unauthorized”
- 1Confirm you are signed into OyaLink in the same browser where you are setting up the assistant.
- 2On the consent screen, click Approve — choosing Deny blocks the connection.
- 3If you are in a private/incognito window, sign in normally first, then return to the assistant setup.
- 4Try disconnecting the connector, signing out of OyaLink, signing back in, and reconnecting.
“The assistant says the tool is not available”
- 1Start a new chat thread after connecting. Some assistants only load the tool list for new conversations.
- 2Refresh the connector (see the “Refresh the connection” section above).
- 3Make sure the connector is enabled in the chat composer’s tool/plugin menu.
- 4Ask a direct, simple prompt like “Search for plumbers on OyaLink” instead of a vague request.
Assistant can’t read my bookings or listings
- 1Personal tools require OAuth sign-in. If you skipped the consent screen, remove the connector and reconnect.
- 2Verify that the listing or booking belongs to the same OyaLink account you used to approve the connector.
- 3Try asking again with a specific time range, for example “List my bookings from the last 30 days.”
- 4If you just created or updated a record, wait a moment and retry — database propagation can take a few seconds.
“Invalid URL” or “URL rejected”
- 1Copy the link from the box above rather than typing it manually.
- 2Remove any extra punctuation, line breaks, or whitespace that may have been added when pasting.
- 3Some assistants require a public URL. This connector uses the site’s live URL, which is valid.
- 4If you previously added a connector with the same name, remove the old one first to avoid a conflict.
Tools are slow or return errors
- 1Check if the request is naturally slow — searching a large list or fetching many records can take a few seconds.
- 2Try a simpler query with fewer filters, then narrow it down.
- 3If you see repeated errors, refresh the connector and start a new chat.
- 4If the error persists for more than a few minutes, contact OyaLink support with the exact error message and the time it happened.
