Questions

What can the AI do in MediaSilo?

The AI can read projects, folders, assets, asset versions, metadata, users and project members, and QuickLinks with their comments and statistics. It can create projects, folders and assets, update and move them, add metadata and comments, create and update QuickLinks, and delete assets if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my MediaSilo API key and secret?

No. Your MediaSilo 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 read-only. Deleting an asset is permanent and can require your approval before it runs. A QuickLink can notify the people you share it with. 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 MediaSilo account.

How do I get MediaSilo API credentials?

MediaSilo issues an API key and secret on request. Email [email protected] to ask for them, then paste both into PipMCP. The credentials are tied to your user, so the AI can only see and change what your MediaSilo user can.
