Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Nifty

Ask your AI what is overdue in a Nifty project, what a teammate is working on, or to add a task with a due date. It can list and update tasks, create projects, task lists and milestones, read and write documents, post messages and task comments, and log time. You get project answers and updates without switching tabs.

Try asking

“Which tasks in the Rebrand project are overdue?”
The AI finds the project and lists open tasks with a due date in the past, with assignees and status.
“Add a task to write the launch email, due Friday, for Jonas.”
It looks up Jonas's member ID and creates the task in the project with name, due date and assignee.
“Create a milestone called Beta release ending on 30 November.”
It creates a task list marked as a milestone in the project with the end date.

What your AI can do

Tasks and milestones

List tasks by project, assignee, status, label or due date, create and update tasks and subtasks, and create task lists and milestones.

Docs and messages

Create documents, read them as Markdown, append content, and post messages, task comments, replies and direct messages.

Projects and time

Create and update projects, see members, statuses and labels, log time on tasks and list time entries.

“Log two hours on the homepage design task for this morning.”
It creates a time entry on the task with the start and end time you gave.
“Add the meeting notes to the Project brief document.”
It appends the notes as Markdown to the end of the document without changing what is already there.
“Ask the team in the project chat whether the copy is final.”
It posts the message in the chat. People in the chat are notified.

Questions

What can the AI do in Nifty?

The AI can list and read projects, tasks, task lists, milestones, documents, chats, messages, members, statuses, labels and time entries. It can create projects, tasks, task lists, milestones, documents and reminders, update projects and tasks, append to documents, post messages, log time, and delete a task if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Nifty API token?

No. Your Nifty API 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. Posting a message notifies people, and deleting a task removes it. Both 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 Nifty account.

Which scopes should I give the token?

When you create the token in Nifty, you choose its scopes. Give it only the scopes for what you want the AI to do, for example read access if you only want answers. Nifty then blocks anything outside those scopes, on top of the tools you switch on in PipMCP.
