FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Contentful (EU) to Claude?
In Elaichi, choose Contentful (EU) from the catalog and sign in to Contentful in EU with your usual Contentful account over OAuth. 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 https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on your Contentful (EU) spaces are available in the conversation.
Does Contentful (EU) work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Contentful (EU) is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, is pasted into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other MCP client. The Elaichi Agent uses it too, so there is nothing separate to set up per client for Contentful in EU.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Contentful (EU) content?
It can read and write entries, assets, content types, releases and locales across the spaces and environments in your Contentful (EU) account, so you can ask it to draft an entry, find every page missing a German translation, or list what is scheduled in a release. Exactly what is available depends on what your account has set up in Contentful in EU. Short, specific asks such as listing the blog entries changed this week work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Contentful (EU) give the AI every space and environment?
No. The AI works inside the Contentful (EU) access of the person who signed in, so it sees the spaces, environments and roles that person already has in Contentful in EU and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading only, but it can never widen it beyond what Contentful grants.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Contentful (EU)?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading entries and assets in Contentful (EU) while blocking publishing, deleting or changing content types. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it in your Contentful in EU spaces, no matter how it is worded.
What happens to a Contentful (EU) connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding the person in Elaichi ends their access to Contentful (EU) through every client at once. A connection they shared with the team keeps working for everyone else. If you want to remove Contentful in EU entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client.
Does the Contentful (EU) MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Contentful (EU) 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, 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 Contentful (EU)?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Contentful (EU). 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 Contentful (EU) call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Contentful (EU)?
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 Contentful (EU): one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
