Connect Claude & ChatGPT to BookSpot

Ask your AI what is booked for Saturday, whether a kayak is free next weekend, or to reserve a spot for a customer in BookSpot. It can read your products and options, check availability by day or date range, and create, confirm, change or cancel bookings. You handle rental and activity bookings from a chat.

Try asking

“What is booked for Saturday?”
The AI lists the bookings for that date, with status, units and contact.
“Is the double kayak free between 12 and 14 June?”
It checks availability for that product option across the date range.
“Reserve two adult tickets for the 10:00 tour on Friday for Lars Holm.”
It finds the product and availability slot and reserves the booking. The reservation is on hold until it is confirmed.

What your AI can do

Products and availability

List your rentals and activities with their options and units, check availability for a date or range, and read a day-by-day calendar.

Bookings

Reserve bookings, extend a hold, confirm them with the customer's details, and change units, option or time slot.

Overview

“Confirm that reservation with Lars's email and phone number.”
It confirms the booking with his contact details. The booking becomes final and visible to the customer and staff.

Questions

What can the AI do in BookSpot?

It can list and read products, options, availability and bookings, and read your supplier details. It can reserve a booking, extend the hold on a reservation, confirm, update and cancel bookings.

Does the AI see my BookSpot credentials?

No. Your OCTO API token 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 by only checking availability and bookings. Confirming a booking makes it final for the customer, and cancelling cannot be undone, so both 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 BookSpot account.

How does the AI make a booking?

In two steps. First it checks availability and reserves the booking, which puts it on hold. Then it confirms the reservation with the customer's contact details, and only then is the booking final. If you need more time, the AI can extend the hold on the reservation.
