Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Luminous

Ask your AI how much stock you have, where a sales order stands or which purchase orders are still open in Luminous. It can create sales orders, purchase orders, work orders and inventory adjustments, and look up products, suppliers, customer companies, invoices and shipments. You get answers about inventory and orders without clicking through each screen.

Questions

What can the AI do in Luminous?

The AI can read and search products, stock levels, warehouses, sales orders, purchase orders, fulfillment orders, shipments, invoices, suppliers, customer companies, contacts, sales channels and work orders. It can create sales orders, purchase orders, work orders, inventory adjustments, products, suppliers and customer companies, and update sales orders, purchase orders and products.

Does the AI see my Luminous credentials?

No. Your Luminous company name and API token 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. Inventory adjustments change your on-hand stock, and new sales and purchase orders enter your real order flow, so those tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and 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 Luminous account.

Why does Luminous need my company name?

Each Luminous account has its own API address, companyName.api.joinluminous.com. PipMCP uses the company name you paste to send calls to your account. The API token then decides which data the calls can reach.
