Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Brilliant

Ask your AI which gifts are in your Brilliant store, where an order stands, or to send a gift card to a new client. It can list products and variants, place and cancel gift orders, issue and assign storefront gift cards, and add recipients to preferred gifts. Your company gifting is handled in one conversation instead of several tabs.

Try asking

“Which gift products do we have in the store?”
The AI lists the products available in your Brilliant store and can filter them by product type.
“What is the status of order 5821?”
It reads the gift order with its items, recipient and status.
“Issue a gift card of 50 to Anna Berg, [email protected], and email her.”
It creates a storefront gift card with the amount, name and email and sends her the notification email. The card gives real spending credit.

What your AI can do

Gift products

Browse the products in your store, filter by type and look up the variant IDs used when placing an order.

Gift orders

Place gift orders for store users, read order details and status, and try to cancel an order.

Gift cards and preferred gifts

Issue, list and assign storefront gift cards, and add recipients to preferred gifts.

“Order the hoodie from our store for Tom and ship it to his office.”
It finds the store user and the product variant, then places the gift order with the shipping address once you confirm. The order uses your store's budget.
“Add Maria Lund as a recipient of our welcome gift.”
It finds the preferred gift and adds Maria as a recipient. If you ask it to notify her, she is sent the gift.
“Cancel the order we placed this morning.”
It finds the order and tries to cancel it. Cancelling cannot be undone and may not succeed once the order is being processed.

Questions

What can the AI do in Brilliant?

It can list gift products, product variants, store users, gift orders, gift cards and preferred gifts with their recipients. It can place and cancel gift orders, issue and assign gift cards, and add recipients to a preferred gift.

Does the AI see my Brilliant credentials?

No. Your Brilliant username and password 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 with lookups only. Placing an order and issuing a gift card spend real budget, and cancelling an order cannot be undone. These actions 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 Brilliant store with API access.

How do I get Brilliant API access?

Brilliant issues Storefront API credentials on request. Ask your company's Brilliant creative partner for API access, and they give you a username and password. You enter both in PipMCP, and the get_current_user tool confirms which store you are connected to.
