Questions

What can the AI do in Rentman?

It can read projects, project requests, the equipment and crew planned on a project, quotes, invoices, equipment, crew members and their availability, contacts, contact persons, appointments, tasks and time registrations. It can create contacts, contact persons, project requests, appointments, tasks and time registrations, and update contacts and tasks.

Does the AI see my Rentman credentials?

No. Your Rentman credentials 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. Creating and updating records can require your approval before it runs. There are no delete tools for Rentman. 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 Rentman account.

What can the AI reach with my Rentman token?

The token's access follows the role of the Rentman user who created it. If that user cannot see invoices, for example, the AI cannot either. On top of that you choose which PipMCP tools are switched on.
