# Chekin MCP connector

The Chekin connector brings your housings, rooms, reservations, police accounts and stat accounts into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can ask about properties and guest registration setup in plain language and update them as themselves.

## Connect Chekin in Elaichi

This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved.

1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Chekin.
2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect.
3. Paste a Chekin API key. One person generates a token in Chekin 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 Chekin tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it.

## Connect Chekin to 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.

## Connect Chekin to 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.

## Connect Chekin to 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 Chekin 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 Chekin 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 Chekin through Elaichi

### Set up a new property in minutes

Operations. Create the housing for a new listing, add its rooms in one go, and attach the police and stat accounts it reports through, all from a conversation.

### Check today's reservations before guests arrive

Front desk. Ask which reservations are coming up across your housings and see the details you need before the first guest walks in.

### Confirm every property reports to the authorities

Compliance. List your housings alongside their police accounts and stat accounts to spot any property that is missing a registration or statistics setup.

### Keep housing details current

Property management. After an owner changes an address, a name or a room layout, catch the Chekin housing and its rooms up without opening the dashboard.

### Bring a portfolio of rooms in at once

Onboarding. Hand over a list of rooms for a housing and have them created in bulk instead of adding them one at a time.

### Retire and restore properties safely

Operations. Remove a housing you no longer manage, and if the contract comes back, restore it rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I connect Chekin to Claude?

Connect Chekin in Elaichi first, then open Claude and go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Chekin connects with an API key, so the sign-in step is pasting the key from your Chekin account into Elaichi. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate.

### Does Chekin work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Chekin 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 Chekin once and every client you use picks it up.

### What can an AI agent actually do with my Chekin data?

With Chekin connected, an agent can list and look up your housings, rooms, reservations, police accounts and stat accounts, create and update housings and rooms, add rooms in bulk, and set up or change the police and stat accounts a property reports through. It can also remove a housing and restore one that was removed. Because Chekin has a large number of actions, short concrete asks such as "list rooms for the Lisbon apartment" work better than long paragraphs.

### Does connecting Chekin give the AI access to every property in my account?

Connecting Chekin gives an agent only what the person who signed in can already reach in Chekin. The Chekin API key you connect with defines the outer limit, and Elaichi can narrow that further with roles and restrictions, but it can never widen it. Nothing the AI does in Chekin goes beyond that person's own access.

### Can my team share one Chekin connection?

Yes. One person connects Chekin in Elaichi and shares it with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Chekin API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every action on a housing, room or reservation in the audit log is tied to the person who did it, not to whoever connected the account.

### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Chekin?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading housings and reservations while blocking the actions that delete or update housings, rooms, police accounts or stat accounts. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

### What happens to a Chekin connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Chekin through every client ends at once. If they had shared a Chekin connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want to remove Chekin entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
