Questions

What can the AI do in Salsa Engage?

The AI can search supporters, segments, segment members, donation transactions and form activity, read email blast and email series results, and list custom fields and SMS broadcasts. It can add and update supporters and segments, add or remove segment members, record offline donations and create or update draft SMS broadcasts.

Does the AI see my Salsa Engage API token?

No. Your Salsa Engage API token 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 with searches only. Changes such as saving supporters or removing members from a segment 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 Salsa Engage account.

Can the AI send emails or texts to my supporters?

No. The AI can read email results and create or update draft SMS broadcasts, but a draft broadcast is not sent. Sending stays in Salsa Engage, where you review and send it yourself.
