Questions
What can the AI do in Buy Me a Coffee?
The AI can list and read your one-time supporters, your memberships and your Extras purchases. All six tools only read data. The AI cannot change your page, your prices or your payouts.
Does the AI see my Buy Me a Coffee access token?
No. Your Buy Me a Coffee 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, for example supporters and Extras but not memberships. Every Buy Me a Coffee tool only reads data, and 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.
