Welcome to Day 355 of 1000-days No-Code Challenge Using MCP in OpenAI Agent Builder | Connect Gmail, Stripe & n8n Without Code In today’s video, we explore MCP (Model Context Protocol) inside OpenAI Agent Builder — one of the most powerful ways to connect your AI agents with external apps and real-world tools. You’ll learn how to use OpenAI’s built-in MCP connectors (Gmail, Outlook, Drive, Calendar, Stripe, Shopify, etc.) and how to integrate your own custom MCP — including the one we built earlier in the n8n series. This episode shows real, working integrations with Gmail, Stripe, and a custom MCP server from n8n — all inside Agent Builder. In this tutorial, you'll learn: ✔️ What MCP (Model Context Protocol) is and how it works inside Agent Builder ✔️ How to connect Gmail MCP (read emails, search inbox, fetch details) ✔️ How to connect Stripe MCP (balance, transactions, customers, products) ✔️ How to add and test MCP tools without writing any code ✔️ Understanding tool-level approval settings (Always / Never / Custom) ✔️ How to integrate 3rd-party MCP servers built in n8n ✔️ How to test MCP calls directly inside Agent Builder ✔️ How to authenticate MCP servers using Bearer tokens & custom headers ✔️ The difference between OpenAI’s built-in MCPs and external MCP servers By the end of this video, you’ll be able to bring real external data into your agents, automate tasks with external apps, and expand Agent Builder beyond its default capabilities — all using MCP.
