Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Base64.ai
Ask your AI to pull the data out of an invoice, ID card, receipt or form with Base64.ai. It can scan a document from a link or a file, return the fields, text and document type, find signatures, and answer plain-language questions about a document it has already processed.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Scan the invoice at this link and give me the supplier, date and total.”
The AI starts a scan of the document at that public URL, then fetches the result with the extracted fields.
“What type of document is this, and what does it say?”
It scans the image or PDF you pass and returns the detected document type, fields and text right away.
“Is this contract signed?”
It checks the document for signatures and tells you what it found.
What your AI can do
Data extraction
Scan images and PDFs from a URL or as a file, and get fields, text and the detected document type for IDs, invoices, receipts, forms and more.
Signatures and questions
Find signatures in a document, and ask questions in plain language about a document that has already been processed.
Results and setup
List and read past results, and see your custom models and processing flows.
“What is the total amount on the receipt we processed this morning?”
It lists past results, finds the receipt and asks Base64.ai that question about it.
“Show me the last ten documents we processed.”
It lists recent processing results with their IDs, so you can open any of them.
“Which custom models and flows do we have?”
It lists your custom document models and your processing flows with their settings.

Questions
What can the AI do in Base64.ai?
The AI can scan documents from a URL or as a file and return fields, text and document type, find signatures, and ask questions about processed documents. It can also list and read past results and list your custom models and flows.
Does the AI see my Base64.ai credentials?
No. Your login email and API key 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, for example reading past results without starting new scans. Scans and questions can require your approval before they run. 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 Base64.ai account.
How do I give the AI a document?
There are two ways. Give it a public link to an image or PDF and it starts a scan, then fetches the result when it is ready. Or the document can be passed directly as a base64 data URI, and the result comes back right away.
