Questions
What can the AI do in Resource Planner?
It can read resource assignments, meaning who is booked on which project and when, and the time entries recorded in Resource Planner. It cannot create, change or delete anything.
Does the AI see my Resource Planner credentials?
No. Your Resource Planner 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 of the two tools are switched on. Both only read data, so nothing in Resource Planner can be changed through this connection. 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 Resource Planner account.
What happens if I generate a new API key?
A Resource Planner workspace has one API key. Generating a new one under Settings > API access for REST clients makes the old key stop working, so paste the new key into PipMCP afterwards.
