ClickSend MCP connector

The ClickSend connector links your ClickSend contact lists, contacts, subaccounts and account usage to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can ask for list work in plain language and every change is logged.

  • 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 ClickSend through Elaichi

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

  • Marketing

    Clean a list before a campaign

    Ask for duplicates and opted-out numbers to be removed from a ClickSend contact list before the next send goes out, so nobody gets texted twice or against their wishes.

  • Marketing

    Import a spreadsheet into a new list

    Create a ClickSend contact list for an event or promotion and import the contacts you were sent, without opening ClickSend and pasting rows by hand.

  • Sales

    Move a lead after a call

    Once a prospect converts, copy or transfer their contact from the prospects list to the customers list in ClickSend so they hear the right messages from now on.

  • Support

    Fix a customer's number on the spot

    When a customer calls in with a new mobile number, find their ClickSend contact and update it during the conversation.

  • Operations

    Set up a subaccount for a new team

    Create a ClickSend subaccount for a new region or department, and regenerate its API key later if it needs rotating.

  • Finance

    Check how much has been used

    Ask for ClickSend account usage and a rundown of subaccounts to see where spend is going before the invoice arrives.

Try asking

  • “Which ClickSend contact lists grew this month?”
  • “Show account usage for each ClickSend subaccount.”
  • “Search ClickSend contact lists for EMEA prospects.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect ClickSend to Claude?

Connect ClickSend in Elaichi first, which asks for your ClickSend API key rather than a sign-in screen, so there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and ClickSend is ready to use.

Does ClickSend work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once ClickSend 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 ClickSend once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my ClickSend data?

It can create, search and update ClickSend contact lists, add or update individual contacts, import a batch of contacts into a list, remove duplicates and opted-out numbers, and copy or move contacts between lists. It can also create and manage ClickSend subaccounts and report on account usage. Short, concrete asks work best, such as remove duplicates from the spring promo list.

Does connecting ClickSend give the AI everything in my account?

No. Every request runs inside the access of the person who signed in, so the AI can only reach the ClickSend lists, contacts and subaccounts that person could already reach. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what ClickSend itself allows.

Can my team share one ClickSend connection?

Yes. One person connects ClickSend with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever sees or handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the person who edited a contact list or moved a contact, not a shared login.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading and updating ClickSend contacts while blocking deleting lists, contacts or subaccounts. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client at all, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a ClickSend connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to ClickSend through every client at once. A shared ClickSend connection keeps working for everyone else on the team, and if you ever want it gone, disconnecting once in Elaichi removes ClickSend from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
