Egencia MCP connector
The Egencia connector brings your company's business travel bookings, traveler profiles, approvals, receipts and duty of care reports into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so each person works with Egencia in their own access and every action is logged.
-
How it connects. App credentials. 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 Egencia through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Travel management
Clear the approval queue before flights sell out
Ask which Egencia bookings are waiting on you, see the traveler, route and cost, and approve or deny the whole trip or just one flight or hotel in it.
-
Security and risk
Find every traveler in a city right now
When there is a strike, storm or incident, run an Egencia duty of care search for bookings in that location and get a report of who is there and when they leave.
-
Finance
Pull the receipt for an expense query
Look up an Egencia booking by its reference and fetch the receipt, so a disputed hotel or airfare line can be matched without logging into the portal.
-
Finance
Build the monthly travel spend report
Create an Egencia report across air, hotel, car and rail, or air only, to see spend by cost center before the month closes.
-
HR and people operations
Set up a new hire's traveler profile
Create the Egencia user, add them to the right travel group, and fill in the cost center and project codes your company tracks as custom fields.
-
Executive assistants
Cancel one leg without losing the trip
When plans change, cancel a single hotel night or flight segment in an Egencia booking rather than the entire itinerary, and confirm what remains.
Try asking
- “Which Egencia bookings are waiting on approval today?”
- “List Egencia users added to the Sales group this month.”
- “Show denied Egencia booking items from last week.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Egencia to Claude?
Connect Egencia in Elaichi first. The Egencia sign-in step asks for the app credentials your company's Egencia account already provides, and 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 as the endpoint. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Egencia is ready to use.
Does Egencia work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Egencia 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 Egencia once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Egencia data?
With Egencia connected, an agent can look up a booking and its receipt, approve or deny trips and individual flights or hotels waiting for a decision, cancel a booking or one item in it, create and update traveler profiles and their group membership, and run duty of care searches and spend reports. Because Egencia offers many actions, the agent searches for the right one as you ask, so short concrete requests like "show approvals waiting on me" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Egencia give the AI access to every traveler and booking in my company?
No. Every request to Egencia runs as the person who signed in, so an agent sees only the travelers, bookings and reports that person can already see in Egencia. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example by hiding cancellations or user changes from a team, but it can never grant more than the person's own Egencia access.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Egencia?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Egencia bookings and receipts while blocking cancellations, deletions or changes to traveler profiles. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client at all, so no prompt, accidental or otherwise, can reach it.
What happens to an Egencia connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding the person in Elaichi ends their access to Egencia through every connected client at once. If they had shared an Egencia connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want Egencia removed entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
