Connect Claude & ChatGPT to ConnectionPoint

Ask your AI how much a ConnectionPoint campaign has raised, who donated this week, or which tax receipts went out. It can search campaigns, organizations and fundraisers, list payments, contacts and activity, and read sub-campaigns. It can also record offline donations, post story updates and comments, and invite new fundraisers.

“How much has our spring campaign raised against its goal?”
The AI searches campaigns by name and reads the campaign with its goal, amount raised and status.

It lists payments newer than the date you give, filtered by campaign or organization if you ask.
“Record a cash gift of 500 from Anna Berg on the school campaign.”
It records an offline payment with the amount and payer name. No money is charged, and the donor is only emailed if you ask for a confirmation.

Questions

What can the AI do in ConnectionPoint?

It can search campaigns, organizations and fundraisers, read a campaign, and list sub-campaigns, payments, contacts, activities and tax receipts. It can record and delete offline payments, post and delete story updates, post comments and invite fundraisers.

Does the AI see my ConnectionPoint credentials?

No. Your Client ID, Client secret and sign-in tokens 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 lookups only. Story updates and comments are public, invitations send emails, and deleting an offline payment or story update is permanent, so those tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and 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?

ConnectionPoint connects with OAuth, and OAuth connections need the PipMCP Pro plan or above. PipMCP also has a free plan with no credit card, but it does not include this connection. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own ConnectionPoint account.

Does recording an offline payment charge the donor?

No. An offline payment is a record of a gift you already received, such as cash or a cheque. It adds the amount, payer name and optional contact details to the campaign without charging anyone. The donor is emailed only if you ask the AI to send a confirmation.
