Questions
What can the AI do in Pursuit?
The AI can search US public sector accounts, list account types, enrich an account, find contacts at an account and validate a contact. It can also list your research workbooks and worksheets and read their results. It does not change your accounts or workbooks.
Does the AI see my Pursuit credentials?
No. Your Pursuit 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, for example search and research only, without enrichment or contact validation. Tools can also 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 Pursuit account.
Where do I get a Pursuit API key?
You need a Pursuit Public API key, which is a user API key for your Pursuit account. Pursuit's public documentation does not say where to create it. Look in your Pursuit settings, and if it is not there, ask Pursuit support to give you API access.
