Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Common Room

Ask your AI what a company's people have done in your community, whether an organization has been on your website, or to put a group of contacts in a segment in Common Room. It can read contacts, organizations, activities, website visits and lead scores, browse Prospector results, and tag, segment or set custom fields on contacts and organizations. Checking a signal takes a question instead of a round of filters.

Questions

What can the AI do in Common Room?

It can read contacts, organizations, activities, activity types, website visits, segments, tags, custom fields and lead scores, and list Prospector contacts and companies. It can create and rename segments, and update contacts and organizations by adding them to a segment, adding or removing tags or setting custom fields.

Does the AI see my Common Room API token?

No. Your Common Room 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 start with lookups only. Updating contacts or organizations can change many records in one call, and those tools 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 Common Room account.

Who can create the Common Room API token?

Only room admins can create tokens, under Settings > API tokens. If you are not an admin, ask one to create a token for you. Once connected, the AI can check which Common Room user and community the token belongs to.
