Questions

What can the AI do in PowerTools?

The AI can convert currencies, units and time zones, format amounts and dates, calculate the time between dates, look up weather, coordinates, time zones, IP locations and stock prices, and translate, correct, moderate and redact text. It can also detect personal data, check email addresses, convert between CSV and JSON, make QR codes and shorten links.

Does the AI see my PowerTools license key?

No. Your PowerTools license 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, for example only conversions and weather. Actions that create something public, like a short link, 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 PowerTools Professional Edition subscription from Apptigent to get a license key.

Why use PowerTools when the AI can already do this?

Some jobs need live data or exact output. Exchange rates, weather, stock prices and email checks come from the PowerTools API, and conversions such as CSV to JSON or time zones are done by a tool instead of being worked out by the model.
