Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Print Autopilot

Let your AI print. With Print Autopilot, the AI can send a PDF to your print queue and it comes out of the printer connected to that queue. It can also list the jobs in the queue so you can see whether a document has printed. The AI works with one queue, the one whose token you paste.

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

Try asking

  • “Print this shipping label.”

    The AI sends the PDF to your print queue, and it prints on the queue's printer.

  • “Print the packing slip you just made as packing-slip-1042.pdf.”

    It sends the PDF with that file name to the queue, so it is easy to recognize in the job list.

  • “Did the invoice I sent earlier print?”

    It lists the print jobs in the queue with their status.

What your AI can do

Print PDFs

Send a PDF to your Print Autopilot queue, and it prints automatically on the printer connected to that queue.

Print job status

List the jobs in the queue with their status, so you know whether a document has printed.

One queue per connection

Each queue has its own token, printer and paper size, so the AI prints only where you point it.

  • “Print both PDFs I attached.”

    It sends each PDF to the queue as its own print job.

  • “Is anything still waiting in the print queue?”

    It lists the jobs in the queue and shows which ones have not printed yet.

  • “Print the delivery note, then check that it went through.”

    It sends the PDF to the queue and then reads the job list to see its status.

Questions

What can the AI do in Print Autopilot?

The AI can send a PDF to your print queue so it prints on the queue's printer, and list the jobs in the queue with their status. That is all it can do.

Does the AI see my Print Autopilot token?

No. Your print queue 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 let the AI check job status without printing. Printing uses real paper, so print_document can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and 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, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You also need your own Print Autopilot account.

What do I need to set up on my side?

Install the Print Autopilot desktop client on the computer your printers are connected to, and connect it. Create a queue and pick the printer and paper size. Each queue has its own API token, and the AI prints to the queue whose token you paste in PipMCP.
