Questions

What can the AI do in Aligno?

The AI can read your account, projects, assets, asset versions, review comments and approval decisions. It can create projects, add assets for review from a URL, and create or update an asset's share link.

Does the AI see my Aligno API key?

No. Your Aligno API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is 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 read-only. Sharing an asset makes it viewable by anyone with the link, so that tool can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then 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 Aligno account.

Who can create an Aligno API key?

Aligno generates API keys under Dashboard > Integrations, and the same key works with PipMCP. Only the account owner can generate it. The key is shown once, so copy it before you close the dialog.
