Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Lido
Give your AI a PDF or an image and tell it which fields you want, and it runs the extraction through your Lido account. You name the columns, add instructions, pick a page range and choose whether to read table rows. The AI then fetches the structured result, and it can tell you how many extractor pages you have used.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Pull supplier, invoice number, date and total from this invoice PDF.”
The AI starts an extraction with those four columns and fetches the result when the job is done.
“Extract every line item from pages 2 to 4 of this purchase order.”
It extracts with a page range and table rows switched on, so each line item comes back as its own row.
“Read the name, address and policy number from this scanned letter.”
It sends the image to Lido with the columns you named and returns the extracted values.
What your AI can do
Extract from documents
Send a PDF or image to Lido with the columns to extract, optional instructions and a page range.
Tables and rows
Switch on multi-row extraction to get line items and other tables back as one row per entry.
Results and usage
Fetch the status and data of an extraction job, and see how many pages the extractor has used, by date range or user.
“Only take amounts in EUR and ignore the summary page.”
It adds your instructions to the extraction so the extractor follows them.
“Is the extraction I started earlier finished?”
It checks the job by its ID and returns the data, or tells you it is still processing.
“How many pages have we used on the extractor this month?”
It reads your extractor usage for the date range, optionally split by user.

Questions
What can the AI do in Lido?
The AI can start an extraction of data from a PDF or image, with the columns you want, optional instructions, a page range and multi-row mode for tables. It can fetch the status and results of an extraction job and read how many pages the extractor has used.
Does the AI see my Lido API key?
No. Your Lido 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. Each extraction uses pages from your Lido account, so starting an extraction can require your approval before it runs. Reading results and usage does not change anything. 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 Lido account.
Why does the AI need to check back for results?
Lido runs extractions as jobs. The AI starts the job and gets a job ID back, then asks for the result with that ID. If the job is still processing, it asks again a little later.
