Canvas Medical MCP connector

The Canvas Medical connector brings appointments, allergy intolerances, care plans, care teams and claims to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent, so each person works with the records their own Canvas Medical login already allows.

  • How it connects. Connects over OAuth. 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 Canvas Medical to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect Canvas Medical once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Canvas Medical.

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

  3. Supply your own Canvas Medical app, then approve. Canvas Medical needs an OAuth app you register yourself, so bring its client ID and secret. One person does this once for the organization.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with Canvas Medical through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Front desk

    Book the visit while the patient is on the phone

    Find an open slot, create the appointment and confirm it back without leaving the conversation. Reschedules work the same way, by updating the existing appointment rather than starting over.

  • Clinical

    Check allergies before the patient walks in

    Pull a patient's allergy intolerances and the matching allergens in one ask, so nothing reported at a previous visit gets missed in the room.

  • Nursing

    Record a new allergy reported at intake

    When a patient mentions a reaction during intake, add the allergy intolerance to Canvas Medical on the spot and correct it later if the details change.

  • Care coordination

    Keep the care team current

    See who is on a patient's care team, read the care plan they are working from, and update the team when a clinician joins or hands off.

  • Billing

    Draft the claim after the encounter

    Create the claim for a completed visit, then search for last week's claims that still need a correction and update them in place.

  • Operations

    Find every appointment that needs rescheduling

    Search appointments for a provider who is out next week, list the affected patients, and move each visit to a new time.

Try asking

  • “Which appointments are booked for tomorrow morning?”
  • “List Dr. Patel's patients with a penicillin allergy intolerance.”
  • “Which claims from last week still need a correction?”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Canvas Medical to Claude?

Connect Canvas Medical in Elaichi first. Canvas Medical connects over OAuth, but it needs an OAuth application you register inside Canvas Medical yourself, so somebody brings a client ID and secret once and then each person signs in with their own Canvas Medical login. After that, paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp into Claude under Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and Canvas Medical is available in Claude.

Does Canvas Medical work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. The Canvas Medical connector sits behind the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Canvas Medical once in Elaichi and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Canvas Medical data?

It can look up and book appointments, read and record a patient's allergy intolerances, review care plans, see and update care teams, and create or correct claims in Canvas Medical. You ask in plain language, such as which appointments are booked for tomorrow morning. Short, concrete asks tend to get better results than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Canvas Medical give the AI access to every patient record?

No. Every call to Canvas Medical runs as the person who signed in, so the AI can only reach the patients, appointments and claims that person could already open in Canvas Medical. Elaichi can narrow that further with roles and restrictions, and it never widens what Canvas Medical itself allows.

Can my team share one Canvas Medical connection?

Yes. One person connects Canvas Medical in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the client ID, secret or any other credential. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every Canvas Medical call in the audit log carries their own name.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading appointments and claims in Canvas Medical while blocking creating or updating them. A restricted action is left out of the tool list the AI client sees, so it cannot be called no matter what the prompt says.

What happens to a Canvas Medical connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their Canvas Medical access at once, across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client. A connection shared with the team keeps working for everyone else. If you want Canvas Medical gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from every client.

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

Yes. Canvas Medical 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 Canvas Medical?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Canvas Medical. 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 Canvas Medical call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Canvas Medical?

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