What the OpenAI connector can do
OpenAI's platform covers model inference along with assistants, files, batches, evals, and fine-tuning. Adding an OpenAI connection to type.com lets Claude or Codex operate that account for your engineers: uploading big files in parts, stopping batches, evaluation runs, background responses, or assistant runs that should not keep going, and reporting what changed in a shared thread.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect OpenAI once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.
What teams do with OpenAI in type.com
Stop a runaway batch
When a batch was submitted with the wrong prompt or model, cancel it quickly from the thread before it burns more of your budget.
Cancel OpenAI batch batch_7Hk2 and confirm its status after cancellation.
Halt a misconfigured eval
Cancel an evaluation run that started against the wrong dataset, then capture in the thread what needs fixing before anyone reruns it.
Cancel the OpenAI eval run evalrun_91x for our support classifier, it's using last month's dataset.
Upload a large training file
Send a big dataset to OpenAI in chunks as part of an upload, which is how files above the single-request limit get in.
Add the next part of our fine-tuning JSONL to OpenAI upload upload_55a and tell me how many parts are done.
Representative actions
- Add Upload Part
Sends one chunk of bytes to an Upload object, used when moving large files to OpenAI in pieces.
- Cancel batch
Stops a batch job that is still running, for example after spotting a mistake in its inputs.
- Cancel evaluation run
Ends an evaluation run in progress when its setup is wrong or results are no longer needed.
- Cancel Response
Stops a model response that is running in background mode, identified by its ID.
- Cancel Run
Halts an assistant run on a thread before it finishes, to stop unwanted tool calls or output.
Connection
API and auth details
OpenAI APIs support model inference, responses, assistants, files, vector stores, fine-tuning, embeddings, images, audio, moderation, batches, realtime, and administration workflows. Integrations authenticate with API keys and can build AI assistants, multimodal applications, retrieval workflows, automation agents, and content-processing systems.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting OpenAI
Why connect OpenAI to a workspace that runs Claude?
Many teams build on OpenAI's API. The connection lets Claude or Codex in type.com manage those OpenAI resources, such as batches, evals, uploads, and runs, while engineers coordinate in one shared thread.
How do I authenticate OpenAI in type.com?
OpenAI uses an API key that you add once to the connection. Admins decide which Spaces can use it, and the key stays out of prompts and thread messages.
Who on my team can cancel OpenAI jobs?
Only people working in Spaces that the OpenAI connection is shared with. Admins choose those Spaces, so cancelling batches, evals, or runs stays with the engineers responsible for your OpenAI usage.
Is this the same as an MCP server for OpenAI?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
