Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Uku

Ask your AI what is due this week, how much time went to a client last month or to log an hour on a task in Uku. It searches clients, contacts, projects, tasks and invoices, creates and updates clients, contacts, tasks, notes and time entries, and summarizes logged time by client or by person.

Questions

What can the AI do in Uku?

The AI can search clients, contacts, projects, tasks, notes, time entries, team members and invoices, read invoice lines and search across Uku. It can create and update clients, contacts, tasks and time entries, add notes and task comments, mark tasks finished, summarize logged time and delete a time entry.

Does the AI see my Uku API key?

No. Your Uku API key and company UUID 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 read-only. Completing a task and deleting a time entry, which is permanent, 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 Uku account on the Elite plan, which Uku requires for its API.

Can the AI start a timer in Uku?

Yes. When the AI logs time on a task it passes a start time and either an end time or a duration. If it leaves out both, Uku starts a running timer on the task instead. You can ask the AI to update the time entry later with an end time.
