Plugin directory listing Keenable is published in OpenAI’s Plugins Directory, the catalog ChatGPT shares with Codex, and it works in ChatGPT chats, ChatGPT Work and Codex. There is no config file, no developer mode and no MCP URL to paste. The plugin bundles web search and page fetch with two skills: focused lookups, and multi-source research with citations. ChatGPT also searches the web on its own, and with both available it picks between them from one lookup to the next, so the second half of this page covers turning its search off. → Keenable in the OpenAI Plugins Directory

Install

1

Find the plugin

Open the listing, or search for Keenable in the directory: Plugins in the sidebar of ChatGPT web or desktop, or Settings → Plugins.
2

Connect

Select Connect and sign in to your Keenable account. There is no API key to paste: usage is attributed to the account you connect and metered against that account’s organization, so it draws on the same rate limits and credits as every API key the organization has issued.
3

Use it in a chat

Mention @Keenable in your prompt, or click +, then More, and pick Keenable. Two tools become available: search_web_pages for ranked results, and fetch_page_content to read any URL as clean markdown.
On Enterprise and Edu workspaces, plugins are off until an admin enables them. An admin turns Keenable on under Workspace settings → Plugins, and setting it to Installed for a role adds it for everyone in that role, with nothing for members to install. On Business, plugins are on by default. If Connect says Disabled by admin, ask your workspace admin.

​
What to ask

The plugin gives ChatGPT two tools and two skills that tell it how to combine them.

Search

Ranked results with an excerpt of each page’s text, narrowed to one site or a date range when the question calls for it.

Read

Any URL as clean markdown: documentation, changelogs, issues, papers, pricing pages.

Research

Several searches, the pages worth reading, and an answer that cites them.
Ask for the result you want, and say which sources count:
The last one makes a good task for ChatGPT Work, which can hand the table back as a spreadsheet. On Enterprise and Edu, a workspace owner or admin turns it off once for everyone: open Admin settings, find Web search, and switch it off. ChatGPT then can’t search the web in that workspace even when someone asks it to, and Keenable is the only search left. Switch it back on in the same place. For your own account, open Settings → Personalization, and under Additional ChatGPT settings switch Web search off. ChatGPT stops searching on its own; you can still start one of its searches by hand from + → Web search. Switch it back on to undo. To steer ChatGPT toward Keenable whether or not its own search is on, add a line to Settings → Personalization → Custom instructions:

More from Keenable

Keenable SELECT is a second Keenable plugin in the same directory. It is a separate server that answers a question with one SQL query over live web results and returns a table; see SELECT.
Prefer the MCP server directly? Point any MCP client at https://api.keenable.ai/mcp, with your API key in the X-API-Key header; see the MCP server reference.
Using Codex? It installs from this same directory, but it also ships its own web search, enabled by default, which keeps winning unless you turn it off, and the config.toml route is the one that takes your own API key. See Codex.
