Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Tatango

Ask your AI how many people unsubscribed this month, what went out to a list last week, or to add a new subscriber in Tatango. It can create and update SMS lists, add, update and unsubscribe subscribers, and read sent, scheduled and draft messages. Broadcasts and single texts are separate tools you can keep off or put behind approval.

Questions

What can the AI do in Tatango?

It can read your account, SMS lists, keywords, subscribers, unsubscribed numbers, sent, scheduled and draft messages, custom fields and short codes. It can create and update lists, add and update subscribers, unsubscribe numbers, send a text to a whole list and send a single SMS or MMS.

Does the AI see my Tatango credentials?

No. Your Tatango 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. A list broadcast texts every subscriber and cannot be recalled, and a single text also reaches a real person, 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 with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Tatango account.

Does adding a subscriber send them a text?

By default, yes. When the AI adds a subscriber to a list, Tatango sends the list's opt-in confirmation text. You can see and change the opt-in, help and stop replies on each list, and you can require approval on add_subscriber if you want to check each one first.
