How to connect Atomicwork to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot

Step by step, for each AI app

Atomicwork MCP connector for Claude

  1. 1

    Open Customize, then Connectors.

  2. 2

    Press Add.

  3. 3

    Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in and approve.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves.

What teams do with Atomicwork through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Atomicwork is logged.

  • IT service desk

    Raise a request while still on the call

    Describe the problem a colleague just reported and a new Atomicwork request is created with the right priority, so nothing is lost between the conversation and the queue.

  • IT service desk

    Catch a request up after the fix

    Once the laptop is working again, dictate what was done and it lands as an activity note on the Atomicwork request, then the request is updated or closed.

  • IT operations

    See what is open and how urgent

    Ask how many Atomicwork requests are waiting by priority or in a saved view, and get a plain answer from live records before the Monday stand-up.

  • Asset management

    Log new hardware the day it arrives

    Read out the model and serial number from the delivery and a new asset is recorded in Atomicwork, ready to be assigned to a person or a workspace.

  • Change management

    Draft a change record before the maintenance window

    Turn the notes from a planning meeting into an Atomicwork change with the scope, timing, and reason already filled in, so approvers see it in time.

  • Security and compliance

    Answer who did what in Atomicwork

    Pull Atomicwork audit logs and workspace member lists for a review, and check that the people with access are the people who should have it.

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Atomicwork

All three can connect Atomicwork to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Elaichi compared with Zapier MCP and Composio for Atomicwork, by what to check
What to check Elaichi Zapier MCP Composio
Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Atomicwork tools Allow or restrict single Atomicwork tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Atomicwork call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.
Single sign-on SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. SAML on Enterprise. SAML and OIDC on Enterprise.
Price Free for one person; $15 per user per month on Gold. 2 tasks per successful call. Billed per tool call.

Longer take: Zapier MCP alternative and when you don't need an MCP gateway.

Atomicwork tools for your AI agents

37 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Atomicwork, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.

Questions, answered

How do I connect Atomicwork to Claude?

Connect Atomicwork in Elaichi by pasting an API key from your Atomicwork account, which takes about a minute, and there is no client ID or secret to generate and no OAuth application to register. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on Atomicwork is available in your conversations.

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

Yes. Once Atomicwork 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 Atomicwork once and every client you use picks it up.

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

An agent can create Atomicwork requests and changes, find a request by its number or search across them, count what is open by priority or view, add activity notes, update or delete a request, and record new assets. It can also browse the service catalog, list requesters and workspace members, read audit logs, and create assessment forms. Because Atomicwork has a lot of actions available, short concrete asks such as "count open requests with high priority" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Atomicwork give the AI access to every workspace and request?

No. The AI only reaches what the signed-in person can already reach in Atomicwork, so the workspaces, requests, and assets available to them are the ones available to the agent. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what Atomicwork itself allows that person.

Can my team share one Atomicwork connection?

Yes. One person connects Atomicwork in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every request created or asset logged in Atomicwork is recorded against the person who did it.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow creating and searching Atomicwork requests while restricting deleting them or editing workspace members. 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 Atomicwork connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Atomicwork through every client at once. If they connected a shared Atomicwork account, that connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Atomicwork once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client at the same time.

Does the Atomicwork MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Atomicwork 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 Atomicwork?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Atomicwork. 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 Atomicwork call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Atomicwork?

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 Atomicwork: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
