Questions

What can the AI do in Manu Online?

The AI can read and search sales orders, sales quotes, sales invoices, purchase orders, items, available stock, work orders, partners and activities. It can create sales orders, sales quotes, purchase orders, items, partners and activities, and change the promised date on a sales order line.

Does the AI see my Manu Online credentials?

No. Your Client ID and Client secret are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. You sign in with Manu Online once, and 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. Creating orders, quotes, purchase orders and partners writes into your ERP, and these tools 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?

Manu Online connects with OAuth, and OAuth connections need the PipMCP Pro plan or above. PipMCP also has a free plan with no credit card, but it does not include this connection. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Manu Online account.

What do I need in Manu Online to connect?

You need the Private apps (API) extension and a user with API rights. You create an app record under Admin > Integrations > Private apps and the API, and Manu Online support enables it. After that you set the redirect URI and copy the Client ID and Client secret into PipMCP.
