Questions

What can the AI do in Vista Social?

The AI can search profiles, profile groups, posts, ideas, media, the inbox, users and Vista Work tasks, and read profile metrics, post performance, optimal posting times and the publishing queue. It can create, schedule and delete posts, reply to and sort inbox items, approve or reject posts, save ideas, add media and calendar notes, and create tasks and task comments.

Does the AI see my Vista Social API key?

No. Your Vista Social 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 reports and search only. Publishing a post, replying in the inbox and deleting posts 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 Vista Social account.

Will posts go live without me seeing them?

Only if you let them. The AI can save a post as a draft instead of scheduling it, and you can require approval before any post is saved or published. Posts that are scheduled or set to publish now go out publicly on your social networks.
