Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Howspace

Ask your AI how far participants have come in a workspace, or to set up a new one from your template. It can list and create workspaces, activate or archive them, and read pages, the workspace menu, users and user lists. It can also copy and rename pages, remove users and read progress and evaluation results.

It gets participants' progress in that workspace.
“Create a workspace for the autumn onboarding, based on our onboarding template.”

Pages and users

Read the menu and pages, copy, rename or move pages, and list users, user lists and the workspaces a person is in.

Progress and evaluations

Read participant progress in one workspace or across all of them, and read evaluation results such as quizzes.

“Which workspaces is [email protected] in?”
It lists the active workspaces that person belongs to.
“Copy the Welcome page into the new workspace.”

“Remove these three people from the workspace at the end of the month.”

Questions

What can the AI do in Howspace?

The AI can list and read workspaces, pages, the workspace menu, users, user lists, progress and evaluations, and see which workspaces a person belongs to. It can create workspaces and user lists, activate and archive workspaces, copy, rename and move pages, and remove users from a workspace.

Does the AI see my Howspace credentials?

No. Your Howspace Partner 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 with reading progress only. Removing users, archiving or activating a workspace and copying pages 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 Howspace account.

Do I need the Howspace Partner API?

Yes. PipMCP connects through Howspace's Partner API, which is included in some Howspace packages or can be bought as an add-on. When it is enabled, you find the API key under Account Manager > Partner API.
