Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Heropa

Ask your AI which courses you run, which lab environments belong to an event, or how many credits you have left in Heropa. It can create and update courses, users and events, enroll or invite people and launch a lab environment. Admin work on your virtual labs can be done from a chat.

“Enroll [email protected] in the Kubernetes Basics course and let her know.”
The AI finds the course and enrolls her by email with notification on, so she gets an email.
“Which lab environments belong to tomorrow's workshop event?”
It finds the event and lists the lab environments linked to it.
“How many credits do we have left?”
It reads your credit balances and usage.

“Create a course called Terraform 101, owned by Mark, with the AWS lab template and our standard policy.”
It looks up the template and policy IDs and creates the course with Mark as owner.
“Schedule a lab session for the partner training next Tuesday from 9 to 12, Copenhagen time.”
It creates an event with a host, the schedule and the timezone.

Questions

What can the AI do in Heropa?

The AI can read courses, content, lab templates, lab environments, events, policies, roles, users and credits. It can create and update courses, users and events, enroll and invite users, archive courses and launch lab environments.

Does the AI see my Heropa API password?

No. Your Heropa API username and password 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 read-only. Inviting a user sends an email, archiving takes a course out of use and launching a lab uses credits, and all of 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 Heropa account.

Does launching a lab use credits?

Yes. Running labs use cloud resources and credits in Heropa. That is why launching an environment can require your approval first. The AI can also check your credit balances and usage before you decide.
