What teams do with Egencia through Elaichi
Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Egencia is logged.
-
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.”

Questions, answered
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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 restricting cancellations or user changes for a role, 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 restricting cancellations, deletions or changes to traveler profiles. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
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, Microsoft Copilot and every other client together.
Does the Egencia MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Egencia 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 Egencia?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Egencia. 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 Egencia call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Egencia?
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 Egencia: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
Put Egencia in front of your team
