Yes. Connect Wishes to ChatGPT, tell it what you love, and it makes a wishlist of gift ideas on Wishes with store links. Wishes is free for your first three wishlists, but ChatGPT needs a Plus plan or higher, and you turn on Developer mode to add Wishes.
Setup takes about two minutes on a computer. Then you share the wishlist, and friends book gifts in secret.
What you need first
- ChatGPT Plus or higher. ChatGPT's free plan can't connect Wishes.
- A computer. You set it up on chatgpt.com.
- The Wishes address. You paste it once:
https://api.wishes.app/mcp
On ChatGPT's free plan? Claude does the same thing on its free plan. Here's how to make a wishlist with Claude.
How to connect Wishes to ChatGPT
- Turn on Developer mode. On chatgpt.com, open Settings › Security and login and turn on Developer mode. A warning shows up, and that's normal.
- Add Wishes. On chatgpt.com/plugins, press +, name it Wishes, paste
https://api.wishes.app/mcpand press Create. - Allow it. Sign in to Wishes and press Allow.
- Pick Wishes in a chat. In a new chat, press + › Developer mode › Wishes, then ask for ideas.
The same steps, with a copy button for the address, are on the Wishes AI page.
Three things to ask ChatGPT
Say "on Wishes" in what you ask. That way ChatGPT puts the ideas on a wishlist instead of only answering in the chat.
- "Make a birthday wishlist on Wishes for my son. He is 7 and loves dinosaurs."
- "Make a housewarming wishlist on Wishes with 10 things for a first home."
- "Add three cozy things for reading in bed to my Christmas wishlist on Wishes."
Keep going in the same chat to change a wish or remove one you don't want. Short on ideas for the ask itself? Our birthday wishlist ideas are a good place to start.
What ChatGPT can see and do
ChatGPT sees your name, your email, your own wishlists and the gifts you booked for others. It opens other wishlists when you give it the link.
It never sees who booked your gifts. That stays a secret, just like in the app.
It makes wishlists and adds, changes and removes wishes on them. On a friend's wishlist that allows booking, it can book a gift for you. It can't buy anything.
How to turn it off
Remove Wishes in ChatGPT's connector settings. Your wishlists stay as they are.
