Admit Coach is a remote MCP server, so any assistant that can add a custom connector by link can use it. Same link, same tools.
In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors (called Apps & Connectors on some accounts).
Under Advanced settings, switch on Developer mode. That is what lets you add a connector by link.
Choose Create, give it a name, paste the link as the MCP server URL, and save. If it needs a sign-in, ChatGPT asks for it here.
Start a chat, open the tools menu, pick the connector, and ask. ChatGPT asks before it runs a tool the first time.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan, and on Team, Enterprise and Edu accounts only an admin can add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in ChatGPT
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
Choose Add custom connector, give it a name, and paste the link.
If it needs a sign-in, Claude sends you to it. Then turn the connector on in a chat from the tools menu and ask.
Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans; on Team and Enterprise accounts an admin may need to add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in Claude

search_universitiesFind colleges by name, two-letter location, field of study or historical acceptance rate. Returns at most 20 institutions and links to school profiles. This searches public institutional records, does not access student accounts, and does not predict admission. get_university_detailsRead a college's admissions ranges, majors, costs and outcomes by IPEDS ID. Use search_universities to resolve a name first. Values are historical and may be missing; cite the returned school URL. No login, personal profile or student documents are accessed. get_financial_aidRead historical average net price, income brackets, grants and debt for a college. These cohort statistics are not a personalized cost estimate or financial aid offer. Public-college averages may not apply to nonresident students. Verify the official college net-price calculator get_application_deadlinesRecorded application, aid and commitment deadlines for up to 20 colleges, with days remaining. Also returns a prep schedule worked backwards from the earliest application deadline (recommendations, first essay draft, final essay, submission) and a calendar-file URL.
