Bill MCP connector
The Bill connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent look up, create, and update bills, approval policies, and bank accounts in Bill, with each person signed in as themselves and 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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Bill to Claude?
In Elaichi, choose Bill from the catalog and paste the API key from your Bill account when asked. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and Bill is available in your conversation.
Does Bill work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Bill 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 Bill once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Bill data?
With Bill connected, an agent can list your bills, pull up a single bill, create a new one, correct an existing one, and archive or restore bills. It can also show your approval policies and add or change them, list the bank accounts on file, and look up the Bill organizations and partner users you manage. Short, concrete asks work best, such as "show open bills due this week" rather than a long paragraph.
Does connecting Bill give the AI access to everything in my Bill account?
No. Each person signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so anything an agent does in Bill runs within that person's own Bill access and permissions. Elaichi can narrow that further by hiding actions like creating bills or changing approval policies, but it can never grant more than the person already has in Bill.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Bill?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading bills and bank accounts in Bill while blocking creating bills, updating them, archiving them, or deleting approval policies. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Bill connection when someone leaves?
When a person is offboarded in Elaichi, their access to Bill through every client ends at once. A Bill connection they shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want to remove Bill entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.
