Connect Claude & ChatGPT to PDQ Connect

Ask your AI which devices are offline, what vulnerabilities a laptop has, or whether last night's deployment reached every machine. It can search devices, groups and packages in PDQ Connect, read deployment results per device and list CVEs. It can also deploy a package, reboot devices and set custom fields, with your approval if you want it.

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Which Windows devices are offline right now?”
The AI searches devices filtered by OS and online status and lists each one with its last user and last seen time.
“What vulnerabilities are on LAPTOP-042?”
It finds the device and lists the known CVEs found on it.
“Did last night's Chrome deployment reach every machine?”
It finds the deployments for the Chrome package and reads the status and result for each device.

What your AI can do

Devices and groups

Search devices by name, hostname, OS, model, serial number, last user or online status, and narrow by group. Read hardware, OS and reboot status.

Packages and deployments

Search packages and their versions, deploy a package to devices or groups, and check each deployment's result per device.

Vulnerabilities and custom fields

List the CVEs found on a device, list your custom fields and set values such as asset owner or location.

“Deploy the latest 7-Zip package to the Finance group.”
It finds the package and the group and starts the deployment. The software is installed on those machines right away.
“Reboot DESK-017.”
It finds the device and reboots it now. Anyone working on that machine is interrupted.
“Set the asset owner on LAPTOP-042 to Maria Holm.”
It looks up your device custom fields and sets the value on that device.

12 tools for PDQ Connect

These tools are switched on when you connect. You can switch any of them off, or require your approval before it runs.

deploy_packageChanges dataDeploy a software package to devices. Required: `package` (package or version ID) and `targets` (device or group IDs). This installs software on real machines right away.
get_deploymentGet one deployment by `deployment_id`, with its status and results per device.
get_deviceGet one device by `device_id`, including hardware, OS, last user, last seen time and reboot status.
get_packageGet one package by `package_id`, including its versions.
list_custom_fieldsList the custom fields defined for devices (for example asset owner or location).
list_device_vulnerabilitiesList known vulnerabilities (CVEs) found on one device by `device_id`.
reboot_devicesChanges dataReboot one or more devices now. Required: `devices` (device IDs). Users on those machines are interrupted and unsaved work may be lost.
search_deploymentsList deployments, optionally filtered by `filter.packageId` or `filter.packageVersionId`. Use to check recent or running installs.
search_devicesList or search managed devices, with `filter` fields such as name, hostname, os, model, isOnline, lastUser or serialNumber, and an optional `group`. Paginate with `page` and `limit`.
search_groupsList device groups, optionally filtered by name, type or source. Use a group ID to narrow device searches or as a deployment target.
search_packagesList or search software packages available to deploy, filtered by name, publisher or source.
set_device_custom_fieldChanges dataSet one custom field's `value` on a device. Required: `device_id`, `custom_field_id` and `value`.

Questions

What can the AI do in PDQ Connect?

The AI can search and read devices, groups, packages, deployments, custom fields and the vulnerabilities on a device. It can deploy a package to devices or groups, reboot devices and set a custom field value on a device.

Does the AI see my PDQ Connect credentials?

No. Your PDQ Connect 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 lookups only. Deploying a package installs software on real machines and a reboot interrupts users, and 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 PDQ Connect account.

Which scopes should the API key have?

Give the key read scopes for the things you want the AI to look up, and write scopes only where you want it to act, such as deployments, reboots or custom fields. PDQ Connect then blocks anything outside those scopes, on top of the tools you switch on in PipMCP.
