“Show me the 10 newest posts and their status.”
The AI lists the latest posts newest first, with ID, title and status.
“Draft an article about Saturday's match in the Sports category.”
It looks up the category ID and creates the post with status Draft, so nothing goes live on the site yet.
“Add an update to our election live blog: polls close at 20:00.”
It adds a new update with title and text to the live blog post. It shows on the live blog right away.

Questions

What can the AI do in Publive?

The AI can read posts, live blog updates, categories, tags and media library items. It can create and update posts, categories and tags, add and edit live blog updates, update media captions and alt text, and delete posts if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Publive API credentials?

No. Your Publive API Key and API Secret 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. Publishing a post and deleting a post both change your live site, and they 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 Publive account.

Can the AI publish to my site without asking?

Only if you let it. A post created or updated with status Published goes live right away, and a deleted post cannot be restored. Ask the AI to use status Draft, or set create_post, update_post and delete_post to require your approval, and nothing reaches readers until you say yes.
