Questions

What can the AI do in Visma Severa?

The AI can read your organization, users, customers, contacts, projects, phases, work types, sales cases, activities, work hours and invoices, and download invoice PDFs. It can create customers, contacts, projects, phases, activities and draft invoices, update customers, contacts, projects and work hours, log hours and delete work hour entries.

Does the AI see my Visma Severa credentials?

No. Your Visma Severa Client ID and Client secret are 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 read-only. Deleting a work hour entry is permanent and can require your approval before it runs. Draft invoices are not sent to the customer. 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 Visma Severa account.

Why do I need a phase and work type to log hours?

In Severa, hours are logged against a project phase and a work type. The AI looks up the project's phases and the work types allowed on the project first, then logs the hours on the right one.
