Questions

What can the AI do in ExhibitDay?

It can search events and tasks, read an event with its dates, venue, booth, budget and ROI fields, and list expenses, cost totals, task comments, users, tags, participation types and payment statuses. It can create events and tasks, update events, tasks and expenses, add expenses and credits, add task comments and delete tasks.

Does the AI see my ExhibitDay API key?

No. Your ExhibitDay 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 a task cannot be undone, and updating an event or an expense changes budget and cost data. These 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 ExhibitDay account.

Can the AI compare spend with the budget?

Yes, based on what is in ExhibitDay. It can read an event's budget amounts and ROI fields together with its expenses and cost totals, and put them side by side in its answer. If you switch on the tool for updating events, it can also change budget amounts and ROI figures.
