“Secure chat-to-chat continuity in ChatGPT Business via MCP: identity, invocation, and approvals. We are building a self-hosted continuity system for long-running technical projects in ordinary ChatGPT Business conversations. We want to keep the existing ChatGPT interface, without building a separate chat application or incurring additional OpenAI API usage charges. Our central question is: Which parts of secure, nearly automatic chat-to-chat continuity are officially supported, and which require application-side infrastructure or explicit user interaction? Desired user experience The user manually opens a new ChatGPT conversation. The user enters only the registered name of an existing WORK (our application-level project record). ChatGPT invokes the connected MCP application. The application securely identifies the legitimate owner and verifies access to that WORK. An atomic handoff makes the new conversation the active application session and revokes the previous session’s write authority. The new conversation retrieves the saved project state and continues the work. New chat = successor, not restart. We are asking about restoring application-managed project state, not transferrin”

“ChatGPT 6.01 - Recurring shortcomings and serious degradation in technical collaboration. ChatGPT 6.01 – (Current version: 1.2026.190) Classic Windows desktop app and Google Chrome web app Project and project chat environment ChatGPT Plus No additional plug-ins installed Time slot: approx. past 50 days, with serious degradation during the past 14 days Scope: Recurring shortcomings in technical collaboration with ChatGPT This overview concerns my “long-term” technical/scientific research across various projects, source verification, document production and project continuity within those projects. The categories correspond to areas of behaviour discussed by OpenAI, such as “instruction following, factuality, honesty, reliability, personality” and “sycophancy”. The severity ranking below is based on the consequences for and within this collaboration, which have now reached a point where this AI agent is threatening to become almost unusable for me. Almost all points have been raised in this forum before, but my “recent” experiences involve a combination of many of them. This “list” may be somewhat long (forgive me) for use in this forum, but it describes the regrettable deterioration”

There is a lack of effective tools that facilitate seamless technical collaboration specifically tailored for researchers and professionals in technical/scientific fields, particularly in light of recent degradation in collaboration with ChatGPT. Existing competitors focus on reference management and access to scholarly articles but do not adequately address the need for integrated collaboration features that enhance project continuity and communication among researchers.
