Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Certopus
Ask your AI to issue certificates for everyone who finished your workshop. It looks up your Certopus organisations, events and certificate categories, then creates certificates for the recipients you give it, with each person's email and the data for your template fields. It can also generate and publish them to the recipients.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Which organisations do I have in Certopus?”
The AI lists the organisations on your account with their IDs.
“Show me the events for our training organisation.”
It lists the events of that organisation, so you can pick the right one.
“What certificate categories does the June workshop have?”
It lists the categories of that event, for example participant or speaker, with the IDs needed to issue certificates.
What your AI can do
Issue certificates
Create certificates for one or more recipients in an event category, with each person's email and the data for your template fields.
Generate and publish
Choose whether new certificates are generated and published to the recipients right away.
Organisations, events and categories
List your organisations, their events and each event's certificate categories to find the right IDs.
“Issue participant certificates to these 12 people from the June workshop.”
It finds the organisation, event and category, then creates a certificate for each recipient with their email and name.
“Create a speaker certificate for Lars Jensen, [email protected], but don't publish it yet.”
It creates the certificate in the speaker category without publishing it, so it does not go out to the recipient yet.
“Generate and publish certificates for the names in this list.”
It creates the certificates with generate and publish turned on, so they are generated and published to the recipients.

Questions
What can the AI do in Certopus?
The AI can list your organisations, the events of an organisation and the certificate categories of an event. It can create certificates for one or more recipients in a category, and generate and publish them to the recipients if you ask it to.
Does the AI see my Certopus API key?
No. Your Certopus 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 only the lookups. Creating certificates can require your approval before it runs, so you can check the recipients first. 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 Certopus account.
What does the AI need to issue a certificate?
It needs the organisation, the event and the certificate category, which it can look up itself, plus each recipient's email and the data for your template fields, such as their name. You set up the event, category and template in Certopus first.
