Questions

What can the AI do in StatBank?

It can browse Statistics Denmark's subject hierarchy, list tables by subject or recent update, read a table's metadata with variables and value codes, and fetch figures from a table for the codes you choose. All tools only read public data.

Does the AI see my StatBank credentials?

There are none to see. StatBank is open data and needs no account or API key, so you do not paste anything into PipMCP. 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. All tools here only read public statistics, so nothing is changed anywhere. 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 with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. StatBank itself is open data and needs no account.

Can I use the figures in a report?

Yes. StatBank data is published under CC BY 4.0, which means you cite Statistics Denmark as the source. Ask the AI for the table ID along with the figures, so you can reference it.
