Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Placker

Ask your AI what is assigned to you, what is planned on a board, or to add a card to a list in Placker. It can read boards, lists, cards, checklists, labels and comments, and it can create cards and checklists, update dates and status, assign members and comment. Project questions get answered without clicking through every board.

Questions

What can the AI do in Placker?

The AI can list boards, lists, labels and members, search and read cards, checklists, comments and notifications. It can create cards, checklists and checklist items, update cards and checklist items, add labels, assign members and add comments. It can also remove a card member and delete a checklist item if you switch those tools on.

Does the AI see my Placker credentials?

No. Your Placker API token 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 read-only. Removing a member from a card and deleting a checklist item, which is permanent, 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 Placker account with an active subscription, since the API key comes from there.

How does the AI find the right board or list?

It first lists your boards to get the board ID, then the lists and members on that board. With those IDs it can add cards to the right list, move cards between lists and assign the right people, so you can just use names in your request.
