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.

  • 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

Use cases

What teams do with Chekin through Elaichi

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

  • Operations

    Set up a new property in minutes

    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.

  • Front desk

    Check today's reservations before guests arrive

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

  • Compliance

    Confirm every property reports to the authorities

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

  • Property management

    Keep housing details current

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

  • Onboarding

    Bring a portfolio of rooms in at once

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

  • Operations

    Retire and restore properties safely

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

Try asking

  • “List every Chekin housing added this month”
  • “Which Chekin rooms have no reservations next week?”
  • “Show police accounts linked to our Madrid housings”

FAQ

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.
