Questions

What can the AI do in Hostfully?

The AI can read agencies, properties, calendars, pricing periods, fees, leads, bookings, messages, orders, payments, jobs, services, reviews, owners and employees, and get price quotes. It can create and update leads and jobs, accept or decline booking requests, cancel bookings and send messages to guests.

Does the AI see my Hostfully API key?

No. Your Hostfully 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. Accepting, declining or cancelling a booking and messaging a guest reach the guest, and those tools 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 Hostfully account.

Which Hostfully accounts can use this?

Hostfully API access is for Premium customers. The API key is found under Agency Settings in the Hostfully Property Management Platform. Most tools work per agency, and the AI can list the agencies your key can access to find the right one.
