Questions

What can the AI do in Autobound?

It can get buying signals for a company or a contact, search companies and contacts with recent signals, find companies and people researching intent topics, and read a company's intent timeline and single signals. It can also list signal types, intent topics and filter values, add records to monitoring and read your account and credit balance.

Does the AI see my Autobound API key?

No. Your Autobound credentials 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. Enrich, search and intent lookups use Autobound credits, so you can require your approval before they run or switch them off. 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, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You also need your own Autobound account.

Which calls use Autobound credits?

Enrich, search and intent calls use credits. Account, credit balance, filter value and signal type lookups are free. The AI can check your credit balance at any time.
