Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Edworking

Ask your AI what is overdue in a project, who is working on a task, or to post an update in the project chat in Edworking. It can read projects, task boards, tasks, files, folders, messages and notifications. It can also create and update projects and tasks, move tasks between statuses, log time and send chat messages.

Try asking

“What is still open on the Website project board?”
The AI reads the project's statuses and the tasks in each column, so you can see what is not done.
“Create a task in Launch: write the press release, assign it to Maria, due Friday.”
It finds the project, a status and Maria's user ID, and creates the task with that deadline.
“Move the pricing page task to Done.”
It looks up the status ID for Done and updates the task's status.

Questions

What can the AI do in Edworking?

The AI can read projects, task statuses, tasks, users, chat messages, files, folders and notifications. It can create and update projects and tasks, log time on tasks, post chat messages, and delete a task if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Edworking API token?

No. Your Edworking 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 read-only. Deleting a task is permanent, and chat messages and project invites reach other people, so those actions 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 Edworking account.

Will other people see what the AI does in Edworking?

Yes, for some actions. A chat message from send_message is visible to the members of that project, task or chat right away. When the AI creates a project and invites new members by email, those people receive an email. You can switch these tools off or require approval for them.
