Ask your AI to start a farewell board, send an eCard or check which boards a colleague has. It can create special occasion, shout-out, engagement and memorial boards, set recipients, invite contributors and schedule or send the delivery. It can also look up users in your workspace, change privacy and lock a board when it is done.

“Start a farewell board for Maria, created by me, and deliver it on Friday at 3 pm Copenhagen time.”
The AI looks up your user ID, lists the special occasions, creates the board with Maria as recipient and schedules the delivery for that time.
“Invite the design team to post on Maria's board, with a reminder.”
It sends invitation emails to the contributors you name, with your message and reminders turned on.
“Which boards has [email protected] received?”
It finds Anna's user ID and lists her boards with the received filter, sorted by latest activity.

Questions

What can the AI do in Kudoboard?

It can search users, list and read boards and eCards, and list the available occasions. It can create boards and eCards, update them, change privacy, lock boards, set recipients, invite contributors, and schedule or send delivery. It can also delete boards and cards if you switch those tools on.

Does the AI see my Kudoboard API token?

No. Your Kudoboard token 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. Sending invitation emails, delivering by email and deleting a board or card cannot be undone, and they 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 Kudoboard account with API access.

Why does the AI need a user ID?

In Kudoboard, boards and cards belong to a user, and every new board or card needs a creator. The AI uses search_users to find the user ID from an email address, then uses that ID to list boards and cards or to set the creator.
