    Pick the app

Questions

What can the AI do in Shopbox?

The AI can list your clients, branches, cash registers and staff, list, search, create and update products, read variants, stock, tags, modifiers, taxes and payment types, list, create and update customers, and read baskets, the sales dashboard and best sellers.

Does the AI see my Shopbox API key?

No. Your Shopbox credentials 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 with lookups only. Product and price changes apply at the till right away, so those tools 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 Shopbox account. PipMCP is an independent service and is not affiliated with Shopbox.

What is a Shopbox client?

A client is a shop on your Shopbox account. Many calls need the client's ID. The AI looks it up with the list clients tool first, so you only need to say which shop you mean if you have more than one.
