Questions, answered
How do I connect Affinity to Claude?
Connect Affinity in Elaichi first: Affinity signs in with an API key, so you copy the key from your Affinity settings and paste it in, with no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs you into Elaichi as yourself and your Affinity organizations, people, opportunities and notes are available in the conversation.
Does Affinity work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Affinity is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Affinity once and every client uses that one connection.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Affinity data?
With Affinity connected, an agent can look up organizations, people and opportunities, read and write notes, create or update records after a call, and review logged emails, calls and meetings to tell you who last spoke to someone. Because Affinity has a large set of actions, the agent searches for the right one as you ask, so short concrete requests like "add a note to Acme" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Affinity give the AI my whole Affinity workspace?
No. Every request runs inside the Affinity access of the person who signed in, so an agent sees the organizations, people and opportunities that person can already see in Affinity, and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to read-only, but it can never widen what Affinity itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Affinity?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading and creating notes in Affinity while restricting deletion of organizations, people or opportunities. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to an Affinity connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Affinity through every client at once. If they had shared an Affinity connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Affinity once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client at the same time.
Does the Affinity MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Affinity is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Affinity?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Affinity. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Affinity call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Affinity?
Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Affinity: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
