Questions

What can the AI do in ONLYOFFICE DocSpace?

The AI can list rooms, folders, My documents and recent files, read file details, versions and room members, and look up users. It can create rooms and files, rename files and folders, save PDF copies, move and copy items, create sharing links, archive rooms and delete files.

Does the AI see my DocSpace API key?

No. Your DocSpace 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 files, copying, moving, archiving rooms and creating sharing links can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged. The API key's own permissions in DocSpace also limit what it can reach.

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 ONLYOFFICE DocSpace account.

Can the AI delete files permanently?

Deleting a file moves it to Trash by default. It is only deleted permanently if the immediately option is set. You can keep the delete tool switched off or require approval for it.
