“What tasks are assigned to me across all projects?”
The AI lists the tasks assigned to you, with project, section, due date and status.
“Create a task 'Draft newsletter' in the Website project's To do section, due Friday, assigned to Maria.”
It finds the project, section and Maria's person ID, then creates the task with the due date and assignee.
“Move 'Update pricing page' to Done.”
It finds the task and the Done section and moves the task there.

Questions

What can the AI do in MeisterTask?

The AI can read your user profile, projects, members, sections, tasks, comments, labels, checklists and time entries. It can create and update projects, sections and tasks, move tasks between sections, add comments and labels, create checklists, update checklist items, log time and delete comments.

Does the AI see my MeisterTask credentials?

No. Your MeisterTask personal access token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is 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 a comment is permanent, and actions like that 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?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own MeisterTask account.

Which scopes does the MeisterTask token need?

Select userinfo.profile, userinfo.email and meistertask when you create the personal access token at https://www.mindmeister.com/api. You do not need to register an app. The token does not expire until you revoke it, so you can revoke it there at any time to cut off access.
