Use OpenAI from Claude
Add the OpenAI connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use it from every channel in that Space.
ConnectorOpenAI
OpenAI integration for Claude and Codex
Create a OpenAI connection, then control which Spaces can use its approved tools and data without pasting credentials into prompts or threads.

Use OpenAI from Codex
Add the OpenAI connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use it from every channel in that Space.
Use OpenAI from Sidekick
Connect your own OpenClaw to Sidekick while Type provides the conversations, permissions, connections, skills, and automations.
Developer Tools & IT
What the OpenAI connector can do
Toolkit for OpenAI APIs: manage Assistants, Threads/Messages; upload/list/delete Files; list/retrieve Models (including vision/multimodal); and view fine-tune listings and events.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect OpenAI once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.
Representative actions
- Add Upload Part
Tool to add a part (chunk of bytes) to an Upload object. Use when uploading large files in chunks, with each part up to 64 MB.
- Cancel batch
Tool to cancel an in-progress batch. Use when you need to stop a batch that is currently processing. The batch will be in status 'cancelling' for up to 10 minutes before changing to 'cancelled', where partial results (if any) will be available.
- Cancel evaluation run
Tool to cancel an ongoing evaluation run. Use when you need to stop an evaluation run that is currently in progress.
- Cancel Response
Tool to cancel a background model response by its ID. Use when you need to stop a response that was created with the 'background' parameter set to true. Only background responses can be cancelled; attempting to cancel a non-background response will fail.
- Cancel Run
Tool to cancel a run that is currently in progress. Use when you need to stop an assistant run that is taking too long or is no longer needed. The run's status will transition to 'cancelling' and then 'cancelled'.
Connection
API and auth details
OpenAI APIs support model inference, responses, assistants, files, vector stores, fine-tuning, embeddings, images, audio, moderation, batches, realtime, and administration workflows. Integrations authenticate with API keys and can build AI assistants, multimodal applications, retrieval workflows, automation agents, and content-processing systems.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting OpenAI
Can Claude use OpenAI?
Yes. Add a OpenAI connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.
Can Codex work with OpenAI through Type?
Yes. Add a OpenAI connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.
Is this the same as a OpenAI MCP server?
Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
