# Submit to the ChatGPT Plugin Store

> Start here to list your Waniwani-built MCP server in the ChatGPT Plugin Store: pick whether Waniwani submits on your behalf or you submit from your own OpenAI account, and see what each path costs you.

Listing your app in the ChatGPT Plugin Store means filling a long form at [platform.openai.com/plugins](https://platform.openai.com/plugins) and passing OpenAI's review. The first decision is who runs that form.

## Who runs the submission

|                                  | Waniwani submits for you                                             | You submit yourself                                                   |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Who fills the form               | Waniwani, from a seat in your organization                           | You                                                                   |
| OpenAI account                   | Yours, created before anything else starts                           | Yours                                                                 |
| Identity verification            | Yours to complete, and it can take days                              | Same                                                                  |
| Access we need                   | An invite to your org with "Apps Management" set to Write            | None                                                                  |
| "Developer" shown on the listing | Your company                                                         | Your company                                                          |
| Where the plugin entry lives     | Your OpenAI organization                                             | Your OpenAI organization                                              |
| What you spend time on           | The account setup, the invite, and one asset handover                | The same setup, plus eleven tabs, tool justifications, and test cases |
| Pick this when                   | You want the listing out without anyone internally learning the form | Someone on your side wants to own the submission end to end           |

The listing ends up in your OpenAI organization under your company name on both paths, and the assets you prepare are identical. What changes is who sits in the form. Waniwani drafts your tool justifications, test cases, and starter prompts either way.

## Yours either way

These stay on your side whichever path you take:

* **An OpenAI organization** with a verified developer or business identity. Verification can take days, so start it early.
* **Privacy policy and terms of service**, live on your domain and reachable without a login.
* **A monitored support channel.** Reviewers may test it.

## Check eligibility first

Confirm your app clears the [two hard eligibility limits](/platform/guides/overview#two-hard-eligibility-limits): no moving money or crypto inside the conversation, and no AI generation of images, video, or audio.

<Note>
  Submitting the form does not guarantee a listing. OpenAI reviews every plugin, and approval is separate from going live: once a plugin is approved, someone still has to publish it from the plugins portal.
