It can search companies by name and filters, read the full company record by SIREN, look up officers and beneficial owners, read filed annual accounts, search BODACC publications and filed documents, and download PDFs such as the INPI extract and the statuts.

Questions

What can the AI do in Pappers?

The AI can search French companies, associations, officers, beneficial owners, BODACC publications and filed documents, read full company records, networks and annual accounts, and download the INSEE notice, the INPI extract, the Pappers extract and the statuts as PDFs. It can also check your API credit usage. It only reads data.

Does the AI see my Pappers credentials?

No. Your Pappers 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. All Pappers tools only read data, but they use API credits, so you can switch off the ones you do not need, and any tool can require your approval before it runs. 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 Pappers API plan, and calls use its credits.

Do lookups use my Pappers credits?

Yes. Pappers API calls use credits from your Pappers API plan, including company searches and full company records. The AI can check how many credits you have used and have left.
