Questions
What can the AI do in Basin?
The AI can search and read forms, projects and submissions. It can mark submissions read, move them to spam or trash, delete a submission, create and update forms, and create projects.
Does the AI see my Basin API key?
No. Your Basin 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. Deleting a submission is permanent and can require your approval before it runs, as can changes to forms. 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 Basin account.
Can I connect just one form?
Yes. Instead of the Account API key you can paste a Form API key from Form › Integrations in Basin. The AI then only reaches that one form. API access needs a Growth, Pro or Agency plan in Basin.
