What teams do with Autotask through Elaichi
Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Autotask is logged.
-
Service desk
Log a ticket while the client is talking
Describe the problem as the caller explains it and a new Autotask ticket is created against the right company and contact, with the details filled in before the call ends.
-
Service desk
Catch the ticket up after the fix
Say what you did and the ticket gets a note, a new status and an updated description, without opening Autotask and clicking through each field.
-
Dispatch
See what is open and who owns it
Ask for every open ticket in a queue, grouped by the resource assigned, and spot the ones nobody has picked up yet.
-
Account management
Prepare for a client review in minutes
Pull every ticket a company has raised this quarter, read the notes, and walk into the meeting knowing what went wrong and how quickly it was fixed.
-
Operations
Set up a new client without the forms
Create the company record in Autotask and add its main contacts in one go, then check the details read back correctly.
-
Management
Get ticket counts without building a report
Ask how many tickets are open, how many came in this week, or how many sit with one technician, and get a number from live Autotask records.
Try asking
- “How many Autotask tickets are open for Acme this week?”
- “Add a note to Autotask ticket 48210 about the callback.”
- “List Autotask companies with tickets unresolved over five days.”

Questions, answered
How do I connect Autotask to Claude?
In Elaichi, choose Autotask and paste in the API key from your Autotask account, then it is connected. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Autotask tickets, companies and contacts are available in the conversation.
Does Autotask work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Autotask is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. Each client signs in over OAuth, so nobody pastes an Autotask API key into a chat window.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Autotask data?
An agent can list and read Autotask tickets, ticket notes, companies, contacts and resources, count them, and create or update tickets, notes, companies and contacts. In practice that means logging a ticket from a call, adding a note after a fix, checking what is open for a client, or setting up a new company with its contacts. Autotask has a lot of actions available, so short, concrete asks like "open tickets for Acme this week" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Autotask give the AI access to every ticket and company?
No. Every request runs inside the Autotask access of the person who signed in, so an agent sees the tickets, companies and contacts that person can already see in Autotask, and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading only, but it can never widen it beyond what Autotask already allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Autotask?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Autotask tickets and companies while restricting updates, or allow adding notes while restricting changes to ticket status. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says. This connector does not delete Autotask records at all.
What happens to an Autotask connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Autotask through every client at once, including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Microsoft Copilot. A shared Autotask connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want to remove Autotask entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from every client at the same time.
Does the Autotask MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Autotask 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 Autotask?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Autotask. 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 Autotask call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Autotask?
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 Autotask: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
