Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Foxit eSign

Ask your AI which envelopes are still waiting for signatures, who has viewed a contract, or to send a document out from a saved template. It can read envelopes with their recipients, status and history, download signed documents, and list templates and users. It can also create and send envelopes, remind signers and change recipients.

Try asking

“Which envelopes from the last month are still waiting for signatures?”
The AI lists envelopes created in that period with status SHARED and shows who still needs to sign.
“Has Jonas signed the service agreement yet?”
It opens the envelope and its activity history and tells you who viewed, signed or declined, and when.
“Send our NDA template to [email protected] for signature.”
It finds the NDA template and creates an envelope with Lars as signer. Sending emails him right away.

Questions

What can the AI do in Foxit eSign?

The AI can list and read envelopes, their history and documents, templates and users. It can create envelopes from templates or document links, send drafts, send signature reminders, update recipients, move envelopes to the recycle bin and cancel sent envelopes.

Does the AI see my Foxit eSign credentials?

No. Your Foxit eSign API Key and API Secret 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 by only checking status. Sending an envelope or a reminder emails your recipients, and cancelling an envelope cannot be undone, so these 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 Foxit eSign account with API access, which Foxit sells separately.

Which region should I choose?

Choose the region your Foxit eSign account lives in: na1 for the US or eu1 for the EU. PipMCP then sends every call to that region's Foxit eSign API.
