Accounting

DualEntry MCP connector

The DualEntry connector brings invoices, bills, sales orders and journal entries into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, so your team can look up, create and update accounting records in plain language inside their own DualEntry access.

  • 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.

Use cases

What teams do with DualEntry through Elaichi

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

  • Accounts receivable

    Draft the invoice as the deal closes

    Ask for a new DualEntry invoice for a customer with the agreed lines and due date, then attach the signed quote before it goes out. The invoice appears in DualEntry the same way it would if someone had typed it in.

  • Accounts payable

    Log a supplier bill from your inbox

    Paste the details of a vendor bill and have it entered in DualEntry with the PDF attached. Fix a wrong amount or date later with a short correction instead of reopening the whole record.

  • Finance

    Post month-end journal entries faster

    Describe the accrual or reclass you need and have the journal entry created in DualEntry, with the supporting spreadsheet attached. Review the entry by ID before anyone closes the period.

  • Sales

    Turn a confirmed order into a sales order

    Once a customer says yes, create the DualEntry sales order from the chat where you already have the details. Update quantities or shipping notes when the customer changes their mind.

  • Controller

    Answer what is outstanding right now

    Ask which DualEntry invoices are still open past due, or which bills are due this week, and get the list from live records rather than last Friday's export.

  • Operations

    Keep documents attached to the right record

    Ask the agent to attach the delivery note to a sales order or replace an outdated attachment on an invoice, so the paperwork lives on the DualEntry record where auditors expect it.

Try asking

  • “Show me open invoices past due this month.”
  • “Draft a sales order for our largest customer.”
  • “List unpaid bills by vendor for this quarter.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect DualEntry to Claude?

Connecting DualEntry to Claude takes two steps. In Elaichi, add the DualEntry connector and paste in your DualEntry API key, which is the only sign-in step; 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 Elaichi endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and DualEntry invoices, bills, sales orders and journal entries are available in the conversation.

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

Yes. Once DualEntry 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 DualEntry once and every client your team uses picks it up.

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

With DualEntry connected, an agent can list and look up invoices, bills, sales orders and journal entries, create new ones, update or correct existing ones, and attach documents such as a signed quote or a supplier PDF to a record. Because DualEntry exposes a large number of actions, the agent searches for the right one as you ask, so short concrete requests like "create a bill for Acme for 1,200 due May 30" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting DualEntry give the AI access to everything in my books?

No. Every request to DualEntry runs inside the access of the person who signed in to Elaichi, so an agent sees and changes only what that person could already see and change in DualEntry. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading only, and it never widens it beyond what DualEntry itself allows.

Can my team share one DualEntry connection?

Yes. One person connects DualEntry with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else on that team ever sees or handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every invoice, bill or journal entry touched through the shared DualEntry connection is logged under the name of the person who did it.

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

Yes. In Elaichi you set restrictions on the DualEntry connector per action, so you can allow reading invoices and bills while blocking creating or updating journal entries, for example. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a DualEntry connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to DualEntry through Elaichi ends at once, across every client they used. A DualEntry connection that was shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want to remove DualEntry entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other connected client.
