Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Houzz Pro

Ask your AI where your leads stand, what is open on a project, or to write today's daily log in Houzz Pro. It can read and update projects, leads, contacts, tasks and milestones, move leads between pipeline phases and convert a lead into a project.

Questions

What can the AI do in Houzz Pro?

The AI can read projects, project statuses and types, leads, lead phases, contacts, tasks, milestones, daily logs, notes and files. It can create and update projects, leads and contacts, move leads between phases, convert a lead into a project, create tasks, and add daily logs and notes.

Does the AI see my Houzz Pro client secret?

No. Your Houzz Pro credentials 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. Actions such as converting a lead into a project or changing a project 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, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You also need your own Houzz Pro account.

How do I get Houzz Pro API credentials?

Houzz issues API credentials per company as a service account, and there is no self-serve sign-up yet. The API Management page under Settings in Houzz Pro is in beta. Ask your Houzz representative for a client ID and client secret, then paste both into PipMCP.
