What teams do with Drata through Elaichi
Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Drata is logged.
-
Compliance
Answer auditor requests without the scramble
Pull up every open audit request for the SOC 2 audit, see which ones are still waiting on evidence, and get a plain summary of what the auditor still needs before the Friday check-in.
-
Security
Keep the asset inventory honest
After a laptop refresh, add the new devices to Drata, retire the ones that went back to the vendor, and fix the owner on anything that changed hands, all from one conversation.
-
IT
Check who is in Drata and who is not
Compare the Drata personnel list against the new hires and leavers from last month so nobody is missing from onboarding checks or lingering after they left.
-
People
Kick off background checks on day one
When a new hire is added, start their background check in Drata straight away instead of waiting for someone to remember the compliance step.
-
Engineering
Give every control a named owner
List the controls that have no owner in Drata, then assign them to the right engineering lead so nothing sits unowned going into the next audit window.
-
Compliance
Write up control reviews as you go
After a quarterly access review, add a control note in Drata recording what was checked and what was found, and tidy up notes from earlier reviews that are out of date.
Try asking
- “List open audit requests for our SOC 2 audit.”
- “Which Drata assets have no owner assigned?”
- “Show users missing a completed background check.”

Questions, answered
How do I connect Drata to Claude?
Connect Drata in Elaichi first, which asks for a Drata API key from your Drata settings and nothing else. 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 will ask you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on Drata is available in your conversations.
Does Drata work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Drata 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 Drata once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Drata data?
With Drata connected, an agent can look up controls, assets, audits, audit requests, personnel, workspaces and control notes, and tell you in plain language where things stand. It can also add or update assets, write control notes, assign control owners, start a background check and import controls into your control library. Because Drata offers so many actions, short concrete asks work best, such as "list open audit requests for the SOC 2 audit" rather than a long paragraph.
Does connecting Drata give the AI access to my whole compliance program?
No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, so an agent working through Drata can only see and change what that person's Drata access already allows. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example limiting a team to reading controls and audits, but it can never grant anything the person does not already have in Drata.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Drata?
Yes. In Elaichi you restrict Drata action by action, so you can allow reading controls and audits while restricting deleting assets or removing control notes. 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 Drata connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Drata through every client ends immediately. If they connected Drata and shared it, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want Drata gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client at the same time.
Does the Drata MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Drata 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 Drata?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Drata. 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 Drata call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Drata?
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 Drata: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
