Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Kissflow

Ask your AI what is waiting for your approval, where a request is stuck, or what is open on a board. It can read process items and their progress, board items and their history, dataform and dataset records, users and groups in Kissflow. It can also approve or reject process steps, move and reassign board items and create or update dataform records.

Try asking

“What is waiting for my approval in the Purchase Request process?”
The AI lists the purchase request items that are waiting for your action.
“Approve the purchase request from Jonas.”
It reads the item at its current step and submits it, so it moves on to the next step.
“Where is my travel request stuck?”
It finds the request among the items you started and shows which step it is at and who has acted.

Questions

What can the AI do in Kissflow?

The AI can read process items and their progress, board items with fields and activity, dataform and dataset records, users, groups and group members. It can approve, submit or reject a process step, move, reassign or set due dates on board items, create and update dataform records and delete a board item if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Kissflow credentials?

No. Your access key ID, access key secret and account ID 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. Approving or rejecting a step moves a real request along, and deleting a board item is permanent. 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 Kissflow account.

What do I need to connect Kissflow?

Four things: your Kissflow subdomain, an access key ID, its access key secret and your account ID. You create the access key under your profile picture > My settings > API authentication > Access keys, and you set its expiry there. The account ID is on the same page.
