Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Shortimize

Ask your AI which of your tracked videos got the most views this month, how an account has grown, or to start tracking a new creator. It reads accounts, videos and their day-by-day history in Shortimize, and can sort everything into collections for you.

Try asking

“Which videos got the most views in the last 30 days?”
The AI lists tracked videos uploaded in that range, sorted by views, with likes, comments and shares.
“How has this account grown since June?”
It reads the account's day-by-day metrics history from the start date you give and summarizes the change.
“Start tracking this TikTok profile and put it in the Creators collection.”
It starts tracking the account from its profile link and adds it to the collection you name.

What your AI can do

Accounts and videos

List and read tracked accounts and videos with their latest views, likes, comments and shares, filtered by user, collection or upload date.

History and totals

Get day-by-day history for an account, a video or your whole organisation, and count what you track.

Tracking and collections

Start tracking accounts and videos by link, and create, rename and fill collections to group them.

“Show me the videos in our Q3 campaign collection.”
It finds the collection and lists the videos in it with their latest stats.
“How are we doing overall across everything we track?”
It reads your organisation history for the period and gives the totals, plus how many accounts and videos you track.
“Stop tracking the old brand account.”
It finds the account and stops tracking it. To pick it up again later, you would need to track it again.

Questions

What can the AI do in Shortimize?

It can list and read tracked accounts and videos, their metrics history and your organisation history, and count how many accounts and videos you track. It can start tracking accounts and videos by link, stop tracking them, and create, update and fill collections.

Does the AI see my Shortimize API key?

No. You paste your Shortimize API key into PipMCP once. It is encrypted at rest, never shown to the AI and never shown again after you save it. The AI only gets the results of the tools you have switched on.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. Switch on only the tools you want, for example read-only stats and history. Stopping tracking of an account or a video ends its tracking, so those tools can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and 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, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You also need your own Shortimize account, and API access comes with Shortimize Business accounts.

Can the AI track accounts I do not own?

The AI starts tracking an account or video from its link, the same way you would in Shortimize. What can be tracked, and how many accounts and videos your account allows, is decided by Shortimize and your Shortimize plan, not by PipMCP.
