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.

  • 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.

How to connect

How to connect BlueTally to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

In Elaichi

Connect BlueTally once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick BlueTally.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, 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.

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

A schedule runs the BlueTally audit digest.

Assets are fetched, grouped, drafted into a digest, approved, and posted back to BlueTally.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect BlueTally to Claude?

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.
