Connect Claude & ChatGPT to ClosedCast
Ask your AI to find a video in your ClosedCast archive by keyword, or to list what was added recently, what you own and what others have shared with you. It can also call ClosedCast's download endpoint for the videos that match a search. The connection only reads from your archive and does not change it.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Find our onboarding videos in ClosedCast.”
The AI searches your archive for onboarding and lists the matching videos.
“What was added to the archive recently?”
It uses the {recent} search to list the latest videos.
“Which videos have been shared with me?”
It uses the {shared} search to list videos other people have shared with you.
What your AI can do
Search the archive
Search your private video archive with a keyword and get the matching videos back.
Recent, owned and shared
Use the reserved searches {all}, {owned}, {shared} and {recent} to list whole groups of videos, with paging up to 100 at a time.
Downloads
Call ClosedCast's download endpoint for the videos that match a search or reserved command.
“List all the videos I own.”
It uses the {owned} search and pages through the results if there are more than fit in one page.
“How many videos are in the whole archive?”
It uses the {all} search and pages through the archive, up to 100 videos at a time.
“Get the downloads for the quarterly town hall recording.”
It calls ClosedCast's download endpoint for the videos that match the search and returns what ClosedCast sends back.

Questions
What can the AI do in ClosedCast?
The AI can search your video archive by keyword or with the reserved searches {all}, {owned}, {shared} and {recent}, and page through the results. It can also call ClosedCast's download endpoint for the videos that match. It cannot upload, change or delete videos.
Does the AI see my ClosedCast credentials?
No. Your ClosedCast API token 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 for example allow search and leave downloads off. Both tools only read from your archive, and 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 ClosedCast account.
What happens if I regenerate my ClosedCast token?
The old token stops working, so the AI's calls will fail until you paste the new one into PipMCP. You find the token in ClosedCast under Settings › API Access, where it starts with cc_live_.
