Questions

What can the AI do in CineSend On Demand?

It can search and read videos, playlists, categories, live events, live streams, subscribers, subscriber types, vouchers and viewing sessions. It can create videos, playlists, categories, subscribers and vouchers, update videos, playlists and subscribers, give subscribers a subscriber type and expire vouchers.

Does the AI see my CineSend On Demand credentials?

No. Your CineSend API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is 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 read-only. Expiring a voucher cannot be undone, and creating a subscriber can email them an invitation. Both 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 CineSend account. PipMCP is not affiliated with CineSend.

Can a voucher be taken back?

Yes. The AI can expire a voucher by its ID so it can no longer be used. Expiring cannot be undone, so you may want it to require your approval. You can also check first whether the voucher has been redeemed.
