Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Knips

Ask your AI to find contacts in a Knips workspace, add new leads, or tag the ones who asked about a property. It can search and save products, organise categories and build or update campaigns with email and SMS texts. You work with your leads and listings in plain language instead of clicking through each workspace.

Try asking

“Which Knips workspaces do I have access to?”
The AI lists your workspaces (feeds) with the feed_id that every other tool uses.
“Find contacts in the Copenhagen workspace tagged 'buyer'.”
It searches contacts in that workspace with a filter and returns names, emails and phone numbers, page by page.
“Add Maria Jensen, [email protected], as a new lead and tag her 'viewing'.”
It creates the contact with name, email and tags in the workspace you pick.

What your AI can do

Contacts and tags

Search and create contacts, add or remove tags, and turn email or SMS notifications on or off per contact.

Products and categories

Search products with filters or free text, create or update them by id or external id, and create product categories.

Campaigns and posts

Create, read, list and update campaigns with content blocks, recipients and notification texts, and list posts and team members.

“Stop SMS notifications for contact 5812.”
It turns SMS notifications off for that contact and leaves email as it is.
“Update the price on the product with external id A-204 to 3,450,000 DKK.”
It saves the product by its external_id with the new price, keeping the other fields you do not change.
“Draft a campaign for our new listings for contacts tagged 'buyer'.”
It creates a campaign with a title, content blocks, recipient segments and notification texts. Recipients may be notified by email or SMS, so it checks with you first.

Questions

What can the AI do in Knips?

The AI can list your workspaces, team members, contact tags, categories, campaigns and posts. It can search contacts and products, create contacts, categories and campaigns, save products, update campaigns, and change a contact's tags or email and SMS notification settings.

Does the AI see my Knips API key?

No. Your Knips 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 lookups only. Creating a campaign can notify recipients by email or SMS, and changing tags or notification settings affects real contacts. These actions 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 Knips account.

What is a workspace in Knips?

In the Knips API a workspace is called a feed. Every tool except the workspace list needs a feed_id, so the AI first lists the workspaces you have access to and then works inside the one you mean. If you have several, name the one you want.
