Connect Claude & ChatGPT to BugHerd

Ask your AI what new website feedback has come in on a BugHerd project, which tasks are critical, or what is assigned to a team member. It can read a task with its description, status, priority, tags, comments and attachments, and find a task by the number shown in BugHerd. It can also create tasks, add comments, move tasks between projects, create and update projects and add members to them.

Questions

What can the AI do in BugHerd?

It can read your organization, projects, tasks, feedback, archived tasks, comments, attachments, task board columns, users and members. It can create and update projects, create tasks, add comments, move tasks between projects, add members to projects and delete tasks, if you switch those tools on.

Does the AI see my BugHerd credentials?

No. Your BugHerd 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 with lookups only. Deleting a task is permanent and moving tasks changes which project they belong to, so those 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 BugHerd account.

Why do I type x as the password?

BugHerd's API signs in with your API key as the username and the letter x as the password. The x is not a secret, it is just the value BugHerd expects. Your API key is what gives access, and PipMCP keeps it encrypted.
