It creates the task in that list with priority and due date.
“Set 'Client onboarding' to In Review and assign it to Mette.”
It checks the list's statuses and members, then updates the task's status and assignee.

Questions

What can the AI do in ClickUp?

The AI can search and read tasks, lists, folders, spaces and goals, create and update tasks, add checklists, comments and custom field values, and log time. It can also delete a comment if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my ClickUp API key?

No. Your ClickUp 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. Deleting a comment is permanent, so it can require your approval before it runs. 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 ClickUp account.

Why does the AI ask for my workspace?

ClickUp's API calls a workspace a team, and many tools need its id. The AI lists the workspaces your token can access and picks the one you name. If you only have one workspace, it just uses that.
