Questions

What can the AI do in TemplateFox?

The AI can list your templates, their fields and saved versions, and generate PDFs and images from them. It can have TemplateFox's AI design a new template or revise an existing one, and check the status of that job. It can also merge PDFs, extract pages, rotate pages and read your account details, including remaining credits.

Does the AI see my TemplateFox API key?

No. Your TemplateFox 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, for example PDF generation without template design. Generating PDFs and images uses TemplateFox credits, 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 TemplateFox account. Generating PDFs and images uses credits in your TemplateFox account.

How does the AI know what data a template needs?

It can list the fields a template expects before it generates anything. That way the data it sends matches the template's variables. You can also ask it which templates you have and which versions are saved.
