Questions

What can the AI do in EditionGuard?

The AI can search and read eBooks, transactions, downloads and master links. It can create, update and delete eBooks, email buyers download links for one or several books, generate download links, and create and update transactions and master links.

Does the AI see my EditionGuard password?

No. Your EditionGuard 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. Deleting an eBook is permanent and stops its download links from working, and emailing a download link reaches the buyer right away. 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 EditionGuard account.

What is the difference between a transaction and a master link?

A transaction is a personal download link for one buyer, with its own uses remaining, expiry date, watermark and passphrase. A master link is a reusable download link for an eBook, for example for a store page, and EditionGuard creates a transaction each time it is used.
