Questions

What can the AI do in Seltz?

It can search the web, answer questions with citations, fetch pages as clean text and start, check, list and cancel agent research runs. It can also list your search monitors and read their runs and collected records.

Does the AI see my Seltz API key?

No. Your Seltz 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, for example search and answers without research runs. Cancelling a research run stops it for good, and it can require your approval before it runs. 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 Seltz account, and searches, answers, page fetches and research runs are billed by Seltz to that account.

Can the AI create new search monitors?

No. The AI can list the monitors you already have and read their status, run history and collected records, but it cannot create or change monitors.
