Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Expedy Print
Ask your AI to print a receipt, a label or a PDF on one of your Expedy cloud printers. It can list the printers and devices on your account, send a job to a cloud printer or to a printer plugged into a device's USB port, and read the latest USB scan so you know what is connected where.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Which printers are on our Expedy account?”
The AI lists all printers on the account with their printer UIDs.
“Print 'Order 118: 2x tomato soup' on the kitchen printer.”
It finds the printer's UID and sends the text as a print job. The printer prints it right away, and a print cannot be undone.
“Print the PDF at this link on the front desk printer.”
It sends a print job to that printer with the PDF URL as the content.

Questions
What can the AI do in Expedy Print?
The AI can list your printers and devices, read the summary info for a device and read the latest USB port scan. It can send print jobs to a cloud printer or to a printer plugged into a device's USB port.
Does the AI see my Expedy Print credentials?
No. Your Expedy API SID and token 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 with only the lookups. A print job prints on paper right away and cannot be undone, so the print tools 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 Expedy account with API access.
Why do I paste the SID and token as one value?
Expedy expects the API SID and API TOKEN in one Authorization value, joined by a colon as SID:TOKEN and without a Bearer prefix. You find both on the API Keys & UID card on your printer page in the Expedy console. Paste them in that form and PipMCP sends it on every request.
