Questions

What can the AI do in TalentHR?

The AI can read employees, job records, employment statuses, managers, documents, pending tasks, time entries, time-off balances, requests and types, holidays, the company calendar, the org chart, departments, divisions, locations, job titles, job positions and applicants. It can create and change time-off requests and add job applicants. It can also delete a time-off request if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my TalentHR API key?

No. Your TalentHR API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is 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. Deleting a time-off request is permanent, and creating one may notify approvers, 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 TalentHR account.

Why does TalentHR ask for a password?

TalentHR's API uses your API key as the username in a username and password pair, and ignores the password. PipMCP still needs a value for that field, so type any text, such as 123.
