Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Pickaxe

Ask your AI which Pickaxes are in your studio, what users have been asking them, or to update a prompt. It can create and update Pickaxes, add and connect knowledge documents, and read conversations, users, memories, access groups and deployments. Inviting people to your studio sends emails, so it can require your approval.

Questions

What can the AI do in Pickaxe?

It can read Pickaxes, knowledge documents, conversations and messages, end users and their memories, memory definitions, access groups, deployments, portals and available models. It can create and update Pickaxes and documents, upload files, connect or disconnect documents, delete documents and invite users.

Does the AI see my Pickaxe credentials?

No. Your Pickaxe 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. Inviting users sends real emails and deleting a document is permanent, so 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 Pickaxe account.

Can the AI read my users' chats?

Only if you switch those tools on. Listing conversations and chat messages shows what your end users wrote to your Pickaxes. You can leave those tools off and still let the AI manage prompts and documents.
