How to connect Chekin to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot

Step by step, for each AI app

Chekin MCP connector for Claude

  1. 1

    Open Customize, then Connectors.

What teams do with Chekin through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Chekin is logged.

  • 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”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Chekin

All three can connect Chekin to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Elaichi compared with Zapier MCP and Composio for Chekin, by what to check
What to check Elaichi Zapier MCP Composio
Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Chekin tools Allow or restrict single Chekin tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Chekin call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.
Single sign-on SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. SAML on Enterprise. SAML and OIDC on Enterprise.
Price Free for one person; $15 per user per month on Gold. 2 tasks per successful call. Billed per tool call.

Chekin tools for your AI agents

64 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Chekin, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.

Questions, answered

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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 restricting the actions that delete or update housings, rooms, police accounts or stat accounts. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

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, Microsoft Copilot and every other client at the same time.

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

Yes. Chekin 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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 Chekin?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Chekin. 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 Chekin call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Chekin?

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