Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Float

Ask your AI who is free next week, to book a designer on a project, or how many hours a project has scheduled and logged in Float. It can read and create people, projects, clients and milestones, schedule allocations, book time off and log time. People and project reports give you the numbers without opening the schedule.

Questions

What can the AI do in Float?

The AI can read people, projects, clients, allocations, time off, logged time, milestones, phases, project tasks, departments and accounts, and get people and project reports. It can create people, projects, clients, milestones, allocations and time off, update projects and logged time, log time and delete allocations.

Does the AI see my Float API token?

No. Your Float 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 an allocation removes it from the schedule and can require your approval before it runs, and so can scheduling people or booking time off. 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 Float account.

Whose access does the Float token use?

The Float API token acts on behalf of the account owner, who finds it under Account Settings > Integrations. Use the tools you switch on in PipMCP to limit what the AI can do with it.
