Questions

What can the AI do in ChMeetings?

It can search and read people, notes, families, groups and group members, events, occurrences, attendance, event statistics, follow-ups, contributions, giving funds, contribution batches and posts. It can add and update people, add notes, add and remove group members, check people in to an event and create posts.

Does the AI see my ChMeetings credentials?

No. Your ChMeetings 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. Giving records and personal notes are sensitive, and a published post can send a push notification to members, so you can leave those tools off or require your approval before they run. 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.

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 ChMeetings account.

Can the AI see giving records?

Only if you switch those tools on. list_contributions, list_giving_funds and list_contribution_batches read giving data, and they are separate from the people, group and event tools. You can keep them off and turn on only what your staff need. The AI cannot create or change contributions.
