Questions

What can the AI do in ProjectManager?

The AI can search and read projects, tasks, subtasks, to-dos, statuses, assignees, project members, resources, customers, risks, meetings and timesheets. It can create and update projects and tasks, assign people, add comments and to-dos, move tasks between statuses, log and update time, add risks and meetings, and delete tasks.

Does the AI see my ProjectManager API key?

No. Your ProjectManager 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 read-only. Deleting a task is permanent and comments may notify team members, so these 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 ProjectManager account.

Do I need to be an admin to connect ProjectManager?

Yes. Only an admin or global admin can create an API key, under your name in the bottom-left corner > Integrations > API Keys. Once the key is pasted into PipMCP, you choose which tools the AI can use.
