Acquire MCP connector

Connect Acquire to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client through Elaichi so each person can open, snooze, and close support cases, send messages, add notes, and look up contacts, inside their own Acquire access with every action logged.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Support

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Acquire to Claude?

First connect Acquire in Elaichi by pasting in an Acquire API key, which you copy from your Acquire settings. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in to Elaichi when Claude asks, and your Acquire cases, messages, notes, and contacts are available in the chat.

Does Acquire work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Acquire is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Acquire once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Acquire data?

With Acquire connected, an agent can list and read your cases and the messages on them, open a new case, close one, snooze it, or invite another agent onto it. It can add internal notes, send a customer a message by email or SMS, and search or create contacts. Because Acquire exposes a lot of actions, short concrete asks such as "show me open cases for Northwind" work better than long multi-part sentences.

Does connecting Acquire give the AI access to every case and contact?

No. Every request to Acquire runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees only the cases, messages, and contacts that person can already see in Acquire itself. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions per action, but it can never widen it beyond what Acquire grants the person.

Can my team share one Acquire connection?

Yes. One person connects Acquire with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every case closed or message sent through Acquire is recorded in the audit log under their own name.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Acquire?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Acquire cases and contacts while blocking deleting messages or notes, or blocking sending SMS entirely. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client, so no prompt can reach it, however it is worded.

What happens to an Acquire connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Acquire through every connected client ends at once. If they had been using a shared Acquire connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want Acquire gone completely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time.
