Try asking

“Create a topic cluster called 'Home composting' and research 10 keywords for it.”
The AI creates the cluster and researches new keywords from the seed topic you give it.
“Queue articles for the best five keywords in that cluster.”
It lists the cluster's keywords and queues articles for the ones you pick.
“Write an article on 'how to compost in an apartment' for our blog now.”
It finds your website and starts writing the article right away. This uses your plan's article allowance.

What your AI can do

Clusters and keywords

List, search and create topic clusters, research keywords from a seed topic and list keywords per cluster.

Articles

Generate an article now or add it to the writing queue, queue articles for a whole cluster and read any article with its content.

Scheduling and publishing

See which articles are ready, published or failed, schedule them for a date or your next slot, and publish as a CMS draft or live.

“Which articles are ready to publish, and did any fail?”
It lists the articles that are written and ready, and the ones whose generation or publishing failed.
“Schedule the composting article in our next publishing slot.”
It schedules the article for the next slot in your saved publishing schedule.
“Publish that article to our CMS as a draft so I can review it.”
It sends the article to your website's CMS as a draft. Choosing live instead makes it visible to visitors immediately.

Questions

What can the AI do in SEOTakeoff?

The AI can list and find your connected websites, list, search, read and create topic clusters, research keywords and list them. It can generate or queue articles, queue articles for a cluster, read articles, list ready, published and failed articles, and schedule or publish an article.

Does the AI see my SEOTakeoff API key?

No. Your SEOTakeoff API key is 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 tools are switched on, so you can start with reading clusters and articles. Publishing puts content on your website, and generating an article uses your plan's allowance, so both 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 SEOTakeoff account.

Can I review an article before it goes live?

Yes. The AI can publish with publish mode draft, which saves the article as a draft in your website's CMS so you can check it there. Publish mode live makes it visible to visitors right away. You can also switch the publish tool off and only let the AI schedule or queue articles.
