Connect Claude & ChatGPT to dao

Ask your AI to book a dao delivery to a customer's home or nearest parcel shop, find parcel shops near an address, or tell you where a parcel is. It can create returns, change a parcel's shop, correct the recipient's phone or email, update weight and cancel a parcel before it ships.

Try asking

“Book a home delivery for Mette Jensen, Vestergade 12, 8000 Aarhus, 1.2 kg.”
The AI books a daoHOME delivery and returns the barcode and expected delivery time. The shipment is real and billed to your dao account.
“Which parcel shops are closest to Nørregade 5, 7100 Vejle?”
It lists the nearest dao parcel shops with address, distance and opening hours.
“Where is parcel 00057126960000003016?”
It reads the tracking events for the parcel with time, place and description.

What your AI can do

Book deliveries

Get an ETA, then book daoHOME and daoSHOP deliveries with recipient, weight, size and sender details. Test mode books nothing.

Parcel shops

Find the nearest parcel shops, read routing for a shop, change a parcel's shop or recall it from the shop.

Tracking and changes

Track one parcel or all parcels since the last check, create returns, update weight or contact details and cancel parcels.

“Create a return for a customer in Odense.”
It creates a daoSHOP return and gives you the code the customer writes on the parcel before dropping it off.
“The customer gave the wrong mobile number. Update it to 22334455.”
It corrects the recipient's mobile on the parcel, and dao sends a new pickup notice if one was already sent.
“Cancel parcel 00057126960000003016.”
It cancels the booked parcel. This cannot be undone.

Questions

What can the AI do in dao?

The AI can get delivery estimates, book daoHOME and daoSHOP deliveries, find parcel shops, create daoSHOP returns, change a parcel's shop, recall a parcel, correct recipient contact details, update weight and size, cancel parcels and read tracking, event codes and error codes. It cannot print labels.

Does the AI see my dao API key?

No. Your dao 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. Booking a delivery or a return creates a real, billable shipment and cancelling is permanent, so those tools ask for your approval before they run by default. 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 dao account. PipMCP is an independent service and is not affiliated with dao.

Can I test without creating shipments?

Yes. The booking and return tools take a test value of 1, which makes dao check the request without creating a barcode or order lines. Ask the AI to book in test mode first if you want to see what would be sent.
