Questions

What can the AI do in Actaport?

It can search and read matters, contacts, tasks, deadlines, follow-ups, notes, time entries, documents, invoices and users, and run conflict checks. It can open and update matters, create and update contacts, add deadlines, follow-ups, notes, tasks and time entries, and set the status of tasks, deadlines and follow-ups.

Does the AI see my Actaport credentials?

No. Your Kanzlei-Alias, Client-ID, Client-Secret and API user login are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with searches and conflict checks only. Marking a deadline as done or changing a matter can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Actaport account.

How does the AI find the right matter?

Actaport addresses each matter by its running number (laufende Nummer) and reference year (Bezugsjahr), like 123/2026. If you give the AI that number, it uses it directly. Otherwise it searches matters with filters first and asks you if more than one fits.
