Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Fusion Signage

Ask your AI what a screen is showing, to build a new playlist, or to put a schedule live on a group of screens in Fusion Signage. It can search and organize media, create and edit playlists and schedules, and publish them to screens or screen groups. It can also read screen status and screenshots and pull a proof-of-play summary.

Try asking

“What is the reception screen showing right now?”
The AI finds the screen, reads its status and what it is playing, and fetches recent screenshots.
“Make a playlist called Winter Menu with all media tagged 'winter'.”
It searches media by tag and creates a playlist with those items in the folder you choose. Nothing changes on screens until it is published.
“Publish Winter Menu to the Store screens group.”
It finds the screen group and publishes the playlist to it, then checks the publish status.

What your AI can do

Media

Search media by name, tag, type or folder, create and update media items with tags and expiry dates, and delete what you no longer use.

Playlists and schedules

Create, edit and delete playlists, add items, build schedules with timed events, and publish them to screens or screen groups.

Screens and reporting

Search screens and groups, read status and screenshots, rename screens or set their time zone, and get proof-of-play summaries.

“Play the breakfast playlist from 6 to 11 and the lunch playlist after that.”
It creates a schedule with two timed events and a default playlist, ready for you to publish.
“Set the summer promo images to expire on 31 March.”
It searches the media and sets the expiry date on each item.
“How often did the new promo play on the Aarhus screens last week?”
It pulls a proof-of-play summary for those screens and dates.

Questions

What can the AI do in Fusion Signage?

The AI can search and read media, playlists, schedules, folders, tags, screens, screen groups, screenshots and proof-of-play summaries. It can create and update media, playlists and schedules, add screens to groups, update screens, publish playlists and schedules, and delete media and playlists.

Does the AI see my Fusion Signage credentials?

No. Your personal access 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 with lookups only. Publishing changes what your screens display, and deleting media or a playlist 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?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Fusion Signage account.

Will new playlists show up on my screens right away?

No. A new or edited playlist or schedule stays off your screens until it is published to specific screens or screen groups. Publishing is a separate tool, so you can let the AI prepare content and keep publishing behind your approval.
