FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Channable to Claude?
Two steps. First, connect Channable in Elaichi by pasting a Channable API key when asked; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the Elaichi endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and your Channable orders, returns and offers are ready to ask about.
Does Channable work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Channable 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 Channable once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Channable data?
With Channable connected, an agent can list and open your marketplace orders, cancel an order, attach a document to it, and register a shipment with a carrier and tracking number. It can create and update returns, add offers, send stock updates, look up the carriers available on a channel, and pull order statistics for a period. It works from the live Channable records, not a copy you exported last week.
Does connecting Channable give the AI access to every project and order?
No. Every call to Channable runs inside the access of the person who signed in, so the AI sees only the Channable projects and orders that person's API key can reach. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions per action, and it can never widen it beyond what Channable itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from cancelling orders or changing returns in Channable?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Channable orders and statistics while blocking cancellations, shipments, stock updates or return status changes. 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 Channable connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Channable at once, across every client they used. If they were part of a shared Channable connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want Channable gone entirely, disconnect it once in Elaichi and it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
