Questions

What can the AI do in Meisterplan?

The AI can read scenarios, portfolios, programs, projects, allocations, milestones, risks, comments, planned financials, resources, absences, roles, role capacities, teams and users. It can create and update projects, create and update milestones, add risks, create and update resources, add absences, update allocations and remove an allocation.

Does the AI see my Meisterplan credentials?

No. Your Meisterplan region 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. Changing or removing an allocation changes who is planned on a project, so those tools can require your approval before they run. You can also keep the AI to reading your portfolio. 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 Meisterplan account.

What is a scenario in Meisterplan?

Meisterplan keeps your plan of record and any what-if plans as scenarios. Most project tools need a scenario ID, so the AI first lists your scenarios and then works in the one you name. That way you can try changes in a what-if scenario before touching the plan of record.
