Connect Claude & ChatGPT to SchoolMaker

Ask your AI to give a student access to an offer, check how far someone is in a program, or book a coaching call in SchoolMaker. It can look up members, offers, programs and admins, send messages to conversation groups and read the leaderboard. Running your school takes fewer clicks.

“Which programs does [email protected] have access to?”
It lists the offers and programs John can access.
“How far is Lisa in the Photography Basics program?”

Questions

What can the AI do in SchoolMaker?

It can read members, admins, offers, programs, member progress and access, coaching types and the leaderboard. It can grant or remove offer access, release drip content earlier, suspend members, update offers, create coaching appointments, start conversation groups and send messages.

Does the AI see my SchoolMaker API key?

No. Your SchoolMaker 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. Removing access, suspending a member and sending messages that members see right away 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 SchoolMaker account. SchoolMaker's API needs its Pro or Business plan.

Which SchoolMaker plan do I need?

The SchoolMaker API is available on the Pro and Business plans. On those plans you find the API key under Settings > Integration & API, in the API section.
