Customer.io (EU) MCP connector

Connect Customer.io (EU) to Elaichi once and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent can read and update people, segments, campaigns, and messages in your EU workspace, inside your own sign-in, with every call logged.

  • How it connects. Connects over OAuth. 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Customer.io (EU) to Claude?

Connect Customer.io (EU) in Elaichi by signing in to your Customer.io EU account over OAuth, with 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 signs you in through Elaichi and Customer.io (EU) is available in your next conversation.

Does Customer.io (EU) work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Customer.io (EU) 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 Customer.io in EU once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Customer.io (EU) data?

It can look up people, their attributes, and the segments they belong to in Customer.io (EU), check how campaigns, broadcasts, and messages are set up, update a person's record, and remove records you no longer want. Short, concrete asks work best, such as the name of a person or a campaign rather than a long paragraph.

Does connecting Customer.io (EU) give the AI my whole workspace?

No. Every request to Customer.io (EU) runs as the person who signed in, so the AI can only reach the workspaces and records that person can already reach in Customer.io in EU. Elaichi can narrow that access further with roles and restrictions, and it can never widen it.

Can my team share one Customer.io (EU) connection?

Yes. One person connects Customer.io (EU) and shares it with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever sees or handles a credential. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every call to Customer.io in EU is logged under their own name.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Customer.io (EU)?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading people and campaigns in Customer.io (EU) while blocking updates or deletions. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Customer.io (EU) connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Customer.io (EU) at once, across every client they used. A shared Customer.io in EU connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want it gone entirely, disconnecting once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client.

Does the Customer.io (EU) MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Customer.io (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 Customer.io (EU)?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Customer.io (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 Customer.io (EU) call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Customer.io (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 Customer.io (EU): one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
