Questions
What can the AI do in Padlet?
It can read a padlet with its sections, posts and comments, read post attachments, your own profile, your organization and its users. It can add posts and comments and react to posts.
Does the AI see my Padlet API key?
No. Your Padlet API key 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 with reading boards only. Posts and comments are visible to everyone with access to the padlet, so those tools can require your approval before they run. 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 Padlet account on a paid Padlet plan, since the Padlet API key requires one.
Do I need a paid Padlet plan?
Yes. Padlet only lets you create an API key on a paid plan. Once you have one, open padlet.com/dashboard/settings/developers and click Generate, then paste the key into PipMCP.
