How do I connect the F1Laps MCP to ChatGPT or Claude?

The F1Laps MCP is the secure, read-only connection between your F1Laps account and a compatible AI assistant. Connect it once, then ask questions about your saved laps in normal language.

Use this server address in your AI assistant:

https://www.f1laps.com/mcp

What can the F1Laps MCP do?

You can ask it to:

• Find your latest or fastest laps
• Compare two laps and explain where the time changed
• Compare your lap with your personal best or the fastest public leaderboard lap
• Review your car setup against the community range
• Summarize your best times and recent progress by track
• Estimate a matching AI difficulty from your lap time

For example, ask: "Compare my fastest Silverstone lap with the fastest public leaderboard lap."

Basic lap summaries, setups, and AI difficulty are available to every F1Laps account. Detailed telemetry needs a Champion plan, an active Champion trial, or eligible legacy access.

Before you connect

You need a F1Laps account with at least one saved lap. You can add laps manually or record them automatically with F1Laps Telemetry.

Connect the F1Laps MCP to ChatGPT

ChatGPT custom apps depend on your plan and workspace settings.

1. Open Settings > Apps > Advanced settings and enable Developer mode, if it is available.
2. Return to Apps and select Create.
3. Enter F1Laps as the name and https://www.f1laps.com/mcp as the server address.
4. Select OAuth if ChatGPT asks for an authentication method, then scan the available actions.
5. Sign in on the F1Laps screen and approve read-only access.
6. Create the app, then select F1Laps when you start a chat.

If your menus differ, check OpenAI's current guide to custom apps and MCP connections.

Connect the F1Laps MCP to Claude

1. Open Customize > Connectors in Claude.
2. Select Add custom connector.
3. Enter F1Laps as the name and https://www.f1laps.com/mcp as the connector address.
4. Add the connector. You do not need to enter a client ID or client secret.
5. Select Connect, then sign in on the F1Laps screen and approve read-only access.
6. In a conversation, use + > Connectors to enable F1Laps.

Workspace owners may need to add the connector before other members can use it. See Claude's current remote MCP connector guide for account-specific steps.

Is the connection read-only?

Yes. The F1Laps MCP can read the F1Laps data that your account can already access. It cannot edit or delete your laps, sessions, seasons, or setups.

The AI service receives the F1Laps details needed to answer your question. Its own privacy terms also apply. See the F1Laps privacy policy for more information.

Troubleshooting

• Use the exact server address https://www.f1laps.com/mcp without a trailing slash.
• If sign-in stops, remove the F1Laps connection from your AI assistant and connect it again.
• If no laps appear, confirm that they are visible in your F1Laps account.
• If a detailed comparison is unavailable, check that your plan includes telemetry.
• If the problem continues, contact F1Laps support.
