Do I need Developer mode for this?

Yes, once. You switch it on under Settings, Apps & Connectors, Advanced settings. It takes a second and stays on; the connector keeps working from then on.

If I connect City of Amsterdam to ChatGPT, can I use the same connection in Claude or Gemini later?

Yes, and that's the point: the connection is yours, not ChatGPT's. You paste the same link in any AI you use, and there's nothing new to set up or pay again. Connect a new AI and City of Amsterdam is already there.

Do I need to hand my City of Amsterdam password to ChatGPT?

Never. You sign in once at Vinkius, and we keep your logins encrypted and away from your AI. ChatGPT only ever sees the link, and you can remove it whenever you want.

What can I actually ask ChatGPT to do with City of Amsterdam?

Whatever the Connector covers: check data, run actions and bring answers back into the chat. The Connector page lists every capability your AI gains, with real examples you can copy.

ChatGPT doesn't show the Connector. What do I check?

Make sure Developer mode is on, the link was pasted exactly as copied, and the Connector is active in your Vinkius account, then reopen the connectors list in ChatGPT. A deactivated Connector stops appearing in new chats.

Can I remove the access later?

Anytime. Remove the connector in your ChatGPT settings and it's out of your chats. Your Vinkius account keeps the connection and its history either way, ready for the next AI.

Mission Control

See everything your ChatGPT agents do in City of Amsterdam.

When ChatGPT runs a tool in City of Amsterdam, it happens on ChatGPT's side: you see the answer in the chat, but not the request itself, what data it carried, or whether a rule was broken.

Now every move lands on your screen.

Every execution is recorded, enforced, and shown to you: what ran, what it returned, what was blocked, and why.

Every request your ChatGPT agents make through City of Amsterdam is logged, enforced and auditable. See how AI Governance turns agent activity into accountability, and what it means for your City of Amsterdam workflows.

What sets us apart

It's not just the Connector that stays safe. Everything your agents do through it is.

Connecting City of Amsterdam to your AI is step one. But an open line between your agents and City of Amsterdam is only half the story: without protection, every action they take runs unguarded.

That's why protection doesn't stop at the door.

Every action your agents take through the Connector runs inside our infrastructure: signed activity logs, automatic key rotation, spending limits that pause instead of surprise, and a sandbox that isolates every execution.

Tamper Proof Activity Log

Every request your agents make in City of Amsterdam is recorded and signed, so any change to the history becomes detectable.

Automatic Key Rotation

We rotate security keys every 24 hours. Your City of Amsterdam connection stays protected without any manual work.

Spending Protection

We enforce the spending limit you choose and pause actions that exceed it until approval is received. Your City of Amsterdam actions never surprise you.

Isolated Sandbox

Every execution through City of Amsterdam runs isolated, with 34+ security rules covering memory, CPU, network access, file handling and execution.

Security Event Streaming

Security events flow to Splunk, Datadog or your own webhook, so City of Amsterdam activity lands in the tools you already rely on.

Instant Resume

Idle connections resume in 3 to 5 ms while preserving their state, keeping your ChatGPT conversations responsive.

Malicious File Protection

We detect compressed files designed to exhaust system resources and block them before they ever reach City of Amsterdam.

Credential Validation

We test your City of Amsterdam credentials before saving them. Invalid credentials are rejected instead of being stored.

Separate Usage Limits

Usage stays isolated per account, so activity in one connection never consumes another account's allowance.

One Connector, one link, and the whole operation is protected. Not just the connection: everything your agents do through it.

These guarantees are not add-ons: they are the infrastructure every City of Amsterdam connection runs on. Read how our infrastructure protects everything your ChatGPT agents do, end to end.
