Set up in three steps

1
Pick the app
Create a free PipMCP account and choose Zenzap from the app list.
2
Paste your key
Paste your Zenzap API host, Client ID and Client Secret. As a Zenzap admin, open the console at app.zenzap.co/console and create an API bot that uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials, with the permissions you need. The console also shows your API host: api.zenzap.co for EU or api.us.zenzap.co for US. This is an OAuth connection, so it needs the PipMCP Pro plan.
3
Add the link to your AI
You get a personal MCP link. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor:
1. Click your name, then Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector.
2. Paste your link as the Remote MCP server URL.
3. Switch it on from the + menu in a chat.

Questions

What can the AI do in Zenzap?

The AI can list topics, read messages, members, org units, labels and tasks, and see which bot it acts as. It can send, edit and delete messages, add reactions, create and update topics, add members and labels to topics, create polls, and create, update and delete tasks.

Does the AI see my Zenzap credentials?

No. Your Zenzap Client ID and Client Secret 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 by only reading topics and tasks. Sending a message posts it right away, and deleting a message or a task is permanent, so those 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?

Zenzap connects with OAuth client credentials, and OAuth connections need the PipMCP Pro plan or above. PipMCP also has a free plan with no credit card, but it does not include this connection. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Zenzap account.

Who does the AI post as in Zenzap?

It posts as the API bot you create in the Zenzap console, not as you. Members see messages, tasks and polls from the bot. The bot works only with the topics it can see and the permissions you gave it.
