Questions

What can the AI do in GrowSurf?

The AI can read programs, participants, referrals, rewards, reward rules, commissions, payouts, leaderboards, analytics and activity logs. It can add, update and remove participants, credit referrals, approve and fulfill rewards, approve commissions, record sales, send referral invites and review affiliate applications.

Does the AI see my GrowSurf API key?

No. Your GrowSurf API key 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. Sending invite emails reaches real people, approving rewards can notify participants and removing a participant is permanent, 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 GrowSurf account.

Does it work for both referral and affiliate programs?

Yes. The tools work with any program in your GrowSurf account. For referral programs the AI can read referrals and approve or fulfill rewards. For affiliate programs it can also record sales, list and approve commissions, list payouts and review affiliate applications.
