Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Edusign

Ask your AI which courses a group has, who has a justified absence, or to send the attendance sheet for today's session in Edusign. It can create courses, students, professors and groups, mark students present or absent, record justified absences and get signature links. School admin gets done in a chat instead of across several screens.

“Mark Sofie Berg absent from course 55812 with the comment 'sick'.”
It marks the student absent on that course with your comment.

Questions

What can the AI do in Edusign?

The AI can read your school details, courses, trainings, groups, students, professors, classrooms, absence reasons, justified absences and documents sent for signature, plus the signature links for a course. It can create and update courses, create students, professors and groups, add students to groups, update students, mark students present or absent, record justified absences and email signature requests.

Does the AI see my Edusign API key?

No. Your Edusign API key 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 read-only. Sending signature requests emails students and professors, and updating a student changes their record. Both can require your approval before they run. When the AI creates a student or professor, it can also email them their login if that option is set. 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 Edusign account.

How do students sign the attendance sheet?

Signing happens in Edusign. The AI can get the signature links for a course so you can share them, or email signature requests to the students and professors you choose. It can also mark a student present or absent directly.
