Connect Claude & ChatGPT to DocuSeal

Ask your AI who still has to sign a contract, to send a template to a new client, or to fetch the signed PDF. It searches templates, submissions and signers in DocuSeal and reads each signer's status and filled values. It can also create templates from PDF, DOCX or HTML, send them for signing, and update or archive submissions.

Questions

What can the AI do in DocuSeal?

The AI can search and read templates, submissions and signers, including status, filled values, audit details and download links for signed documents. It can create templates from PDF, DOCX or HTML, update and clone templates, send templates for signature, and update or archive submissions and signers.

Does the AI see my DocuSeal API key?

No. Your DocuSeal 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 read-only. Sending for signature emails real people, and archiving a submission means pending signers can no longer sign. 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 DocuSeal account.

Does it work with the EU cloud or a self-hosted DocuSeal?

Yes. When you connect, you enter your API address: https://api.docuseal.com for the global cloud, https://api.docuseal.eu for the EU cloud, or your self-hosted URL followed by /api.
