1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Deltek Vantagepoint.

## What the consent screen decides

Every scope the client asks for starts ticked except "Delete data and remove access", which you tick yourself. Calling a Deltek Vantagepoint tool needs "Run your connected tools". Over MCP there is no trusted place to confirm a write in the moment, so the consent screen is the standing approval rather than a formality. Think hard before granting Delete, which reaches into connected apps and cannot be undone.

## What teams do with Deltek Vantagepoint through Elaichi

### Keep absence requests moving

HR. Pull up every Deltek Vantagepoint absence request still waiting on an approval status, and raise a new request on behalf of someone who called in. Close out a batch of approvals in one go rather than one screen at a time.

### Check which accounting period is open

Finance. Ask which Deltek Vantagepoint accounting period is active for each company before posting, and move the active period forward at month end without hunting through settings.

### Log the client call before it fades

Business development. Right after a meeting, create a Deltek Vantagepoint activity tied to the client and the contact you spoke with, with the right employees attached. The record is complete while the detail is still fresh.

### See who last spoke to the client

Project management. List recent Deltek Vantagepoint activities for a client along with the contacts and employees on each one, so a handover or a difficult conversation starts with the full history.

### Plan the week around who is out

Operations. Read absence request hours and schedules straight from Deltek Vantagepoint to see coverage gaps before they turn into missed deadlines.

### Review posting setup across companies

Accounting. List the auto posting configuration for every accounting company in Deltek Vantagepoint, spot the one that differs, and bring the group back into line with a single bulk update.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I connect Deltek Vantagepoint to Claude?

Connecting Deltek Vantagepoint to Claude takes two steps. In Elaichi, choose Deltek Vantagepoint and paste in your Deltek Vantagepoint API key, since 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. Claude signs you in through Elaichi and Deltek Vantagepoint is ready to use.

### Does Deltek Vantagepoint work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Deltek Vantagepoint 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 Deltek Vantagepoint once and every client picks it up.

### What can an AI agent actually do with my Deltek Vantagepoint data?

An agent can list the Deltek Vantagepoint absence requests waiting for approval, create a new request, and read absence hours and schedules to see who is out. It can look up accounting periods and which one is active for each company, review auto posting settings, and log or update activities with the clients, contacts and employees attached. Short, concrete asks such as 'show open absence requests for March' work better than long paragraphs.

### Does connecting Deltek Vantagepoint give the AI access to everything in my Deltek Vantagepoint account?

No. A Deltek Vantagepoint connection carries only the access of the account whose API key was used, and each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the real person behind every call. Elaichi roles and restrictions can narrow what an agent may do in Deltek Vantagepoint, and nothing in Elaichi can widen access beyond what Deltek Vantagepoint already allows.

### Can my team share one Deltek Vantagepoint connection?

Yes. One person connects Deltek Vantagepoint in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every Deltek Vantagepoint call in the audit log is tied to the person who made it.

### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Deltek Vantagepoint?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Deltek Vantagepoint absence requests and activities while blocking deletions or updates. A restricted action is left out of the tool list the AI client receives, so it cannot be called no matter what the prompt says.

### What happens to a Deltek Vantagepoint connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Deltek Vantagepoint and every other connector at once. A shared Deltek Vantagepoint connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want to remove Deltek Vantagepoint entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client.

### Does the Deltek Vantagepoint MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Deltek Vantagepoint 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 Deltek Vantagepoint?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Deltek Vantagepoint. 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 Deltek Vantagepoint call.

### How is Elaichi different from Composio for Deltek Vantagepoint?

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