【Background of Plugin Support】

　While the use of generative AI in business is expanding, day-to-day server operation tasks such as checking status, restarting servers, and changing settings using control panels or APIs still require a certain level of specialized knowledge.This routine operational work can be a burden, particularly for companies and sole proprietors with limited IT staff.
　To address this challenge, "ConoHa VPS byGMO" has been developing an environment in which servers can be operated using natural language through collaboration with AI agents.On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, it became the first domestic cloud provider to support connector integration with "Claude"^（※3）, providing an environment in which users can connect to an AI agent simply by selecting "ConoHa VPS byGMO" from the "Claude" connector directory^（※4）.
　This time, by newly supporting "ChatGPT," which is widely used domestically, users will be able to operate their existing "ConoHa VPS byGMO" servers directly from "ChatGPT."By providing the AI agent with predefined operating procedures and constraints, day-to-day server operation becomes easier without requiring each user to construct complex instructions.This aims to realize an environment in which a greater number of users can handle servers using natural language, while reducing dependence on specialized knowledge and staffing.

【About the Plugin Offered】

　The "ConoHa VPS byGMO" plugin consists of the connection settings that link "ChatGPT" with the server, together with a "Skill" that consolidates server operation procedures.When a user talks about servers, volumes, or security groups, the corresponding procedure is automatically invoked, and the AI proceeds with the task in accordance with the constraints that must be observed.The plugin supports the operation of servers that are already running, and users can use operations employed in day-to-day operation, such as starting and stopping servers, changing security settings, and checking status. For creating new servers or volumes, or resizing a server (changing plans), please use the control panel (URL: https://manage.conoha.jp/) or the API.

■Key Features
1. Servers can be operated simply by conversing with "ChatGPT"
　Users do not need specialized command or API knowledge; they can operate their "ConoHa VPS byGMO" servers simply by giving instructions on "ChatGPT" such as "Check the server status" or "Restart the server." Because the operating procedures and points of caution are shared with "ChatGPT" through the plugin, users do not need to construct detailed instructions each time.

2. Operate servers anytime, anywhere from a smartphone
　Because the plugin runs on servers operated by GMO Internet, there is no need to install software on the user's device. Once added, servers can be operated in the same way from the "ChatGPT" smartphone app. If a server stops responding, users can attempt recovery simply by saying "Restart the server," even when away from a PC, such as while out and about.

3. Can be used without entrusting authentication credentials such as passwords
　The plugin's connection supports OAuth 2.1^（※5）, and users can begin using it simply by granting permission with their "ConoHa VPS byGMO" account. There is no need to register or store authentication credentials such as the ConoHa API password or tokens on the "ChatGPT" side.

（※5）This is a standard specification that enables secure authorization of use without directly sharing IDs or passwords.

【How to Use】

1. Search for the "ConoHa VPS byGMO" plugin on the "ChatGPT" plugin listing page.
2. Open the plugin's listing page and press the Add or Connect button.
3. Authenticate with your ConoHa account and grant permission.
4. You will then be able to operate your VPS through conversation.

【Pricing】

　There is no charge for using the plugin or the remote MCP server itself. In addition, because operations that would incur new charges (such as creating new servers and volumes, or resizing a server) cannot be performed from the "ChatGPT" plugin, using the plugin will not cause the charges for "ConoHa VPS byGMO" to change. Charges for using "ChatGPT" follow OpenAI's pricing plans.

【Future Outlook】

　In addition to providing a remote MCP server and a "Claude" connector, GMO Internet has advanced the development of an environment in which users can operate servers from the AI services they normally use, through support for the "ChatGPT" plugin.
　In addition, on July 10, 2026, the GMO Internet Group entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Anthropic, and is advancing the use of Claude across the Group as well as the expansion of AI-powered services^（※6）。. This latest offering of a plugin for "ChatGPT" is also one of the Group's initiatives to strengthen its use of AI. Going forward, "ConoHa VPS byGMO" will continue to expand its integration with major AI agents, broaden the range of operations that AI can handle, and contribute to building an environment in which developers and server administrators can focus on more essential work.
