Questions

What can the AI do in Rocketlane?

The AI can read projects, phases, tasks, time entries, companies, invoices with line items, users and project documents. It can create and update projects, phases, tasks, time entries and companies, assign people to tasks and move tasks between phases. It can also delete a task if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Rocketlane API key?

No. Your Rocketlane 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 can require your approval before it runs, and so can creating or changing projects and time entries. 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 Rocketlane account.

Where do I find my Rocketlane API key?

In Rocketlane open Settings and go to the API tab (API Settings). Generate an API key there and paste it into PipMCP. The AI then works with the data that key can reach.
