# BlueTally MCP connector Connect BlueTally to Elaichi and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client can look up, check out, and update BlueTally assets and accessories, with every action tied to the person who asked. Source: https://elaichi.ai/connectors/bluetally/ ## Facts | | | | --- | --- | | Application | BlueTally | | Category | Device Management | | AI tools | 91 | | Authentication | Connects with an API key | | Bring your own OAuth app | No | | MCP endpoint | https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp | | Works with | Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent | | Tools advertised by name | No. Connected tools are never listed one by one, however few there are. The endpoint advertises `search_tools` and `execute_tool` instead | ## What you can ask once BlueTally is connected - Which laptops are checked out to the sales team right now? - Check out a MacBook and charger to Priya starting Monday. - Start an audit for the second floor storage room. ## Connect BlueTally in Elaichi This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved. 1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick BlueTally. 2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect. 3. Paste a BlueTally API key. One person generates a token in BlueTally and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it. Credentials are vaulted and nobody, including the AI, reads them back. The connection becomes a toolbox immediately, so you can curate which BlueTally tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it. ## BlueTally MCP connector for Claude Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open Customize, then Connectors. 2. Press Add. 3. Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue. 4. Sign in and approve. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves. ## BlueTally MCP connector for ChatGPT Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open Plugins, then press the + button. 2. Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL. 3. Leave Authentication on OAuth, then tick the risk acknowledgement. 4. Press Create, then sign in and approve. Works on the web today. The plugin directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins. ## BlueTally MCP connector for Cursor Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. 2. Add the endpoint under `mcpServers`. 3. Reload Cursor, then sign in and approve. Set up per machine, so repeat it on each computer you work from. ## Connect BlueTally to any MCP client Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Add the endpoint as a remote MCP server. 2. Sign in and approve. The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up. ## What the consent screen decides Only Read is granted by default, which is not enough to call a BlueTally tool. Over MCP there is no trusted place to confirm a write in the moment, so the consent screen is the standing approval rather than a formality. Grant Read and Run tools. Think hard before granting Delete, which reaches into connected apps and cannot be undone. ## What teams do with BlueTally through Elaichi ### Check a laptop out to a new hire IT. Ask which laptops are in stock, check one out to the new starter in BlueTally, and record the charger and dock that went with it. ### Find who has a device right now Support. When a ticket mentions a serial number, pull up the BlueTally asset, see who it is checked out to, and read its recent activity. ### Run a stock count without a spreadsheet Operations. Create an audit in BlueTally, walk the storeroom, and update it as each asset is found, all from a chat. ### Collect equipment when someone leaves People. List every asset and accessory checked out to a departing employee, then check each one back into BlueTally as it is returned. ### Answer what we own and where it is Finance. Ask how many monitors sit in each BlueTally category, or which assets are unassigned, and get the count from live records. ### Keep accessory stock accurate Facilities. Add new keyboards, headsets, and chargers to BlueTally as they arrive, and update quantities when they move between offices. ## Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for BlueTally All three can connect BlueTally to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls.

Connect BlueTally in Elaichi first, which asks for a BlueTally API key from your BlueTally 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. Sign in to Elaichi and BlueTally is available in Claude. ### Does BlueTally work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude? Yes. Once BlueTally 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 BlueTally once and every client picks it up. ### What can an AI agent actually do with my BlueTally data? It can look up BlueTally assets and accessories, see who has them, check them in and out, and create or update records as things change. It can also open and update audits, tidy categories, and read the activity history of any asset. Short, concrete asks such as "check laptop 0412 in" work better than long sentences. ### Does connecting BlueTally give the AI my whole inventory? No. Every request to BlueTally runs as the person who signed in, so the AI sees only the assets, accessories, and audits that person can already see in BlueTally. Elaichi can narrow that further by team or by action, and it can never widen it. ### Can my team share one BlueTally connection? Yes. One person connects BlueTally with an API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in as themselves, so the audit log names the person who checked out or updated each BlueTally asset. ### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in BlueTally? Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow lookups and checkouts in BlueTally while blocking deletes or edits. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it. ### What happens to a BlueTally connection when someone leaves? Offboarding the person in Elaichi ends their access to BlueTally through every client at once. A BlueTally connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want BlueTally gone entirely, disconnect it once in Elaichi and it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client. ### Does the BlueTally MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients? Yes. BlueTally 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, 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 BlueTally? Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use BlueTally. 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 BlueTally call. ### How is Elaichi different from Composio for BlueTally? 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 BlueTally: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call. ## All 91 BlueTally tools Every tool below is callable through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp once BlueTally is connected, subject to the toolbox it is in and the restrictions on the caller. - **List all BlueTally accessories** (List).
