Questions

What can the AI do in Beekeeper?

It can read streams, posts, comments, chat conversations, users, profiles, groups and your unread counts. It can publish, schedule, edit and delete posts, comment and edit comments, like posts, mark posts as read, start chats and send chat messages, and add users to groups.

Does the AI see my Beekeeper credentials?

No. Your Beekeeper 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, so you can start read-only. Posts, comments and chat messages reach your colleagues, and deleting a post cannot be undone, so these can require your approval before they run. 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 Beekeeper account.

Who does the AI act as in Beekeeper?

As the account the API token belongs to, usually a bot account your Beekeeper admin creates for the integration. Posts, comments and chat messages the AI sends come from that account.
