Connect Claude & ChatGPT to LightSpeed VT

Ask your AI who finished a course last month, how a location is doing on an assignment, or to set up a new hire, and it works in your LightSpeed VT system. It can list and read users, locations, teams, courses, chapters, assignments and certifications. It can read completions and progress, and create users and teams or update a user.

Questions

What can the AI do in LightSpeed VT?

The AI can list and read users, locations, teams, courses, course categories, chapters, assignments and certifications, and read course completions, assignment and certification progress and user comments. It can check if a username is available, create users and teams and update a user, for example to change their team or deactivate them.

Does the AI see my LightSpeed VT credentials?

No. Your LightSpeed VT credentials 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 with reports only. Creating and updating users changes who can train and what they see, so it can require your approval before it runs. 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 LightSpeed VT account.

Where do I find the API username and password?

Sign in to your LightSpeed VT integration panel, where your system's API username (API key) and password are shown. They are not the same as the username field used inside API calls. If you cannot find a password there, contact LightSpeed VT.
