# ElasticEmail MCP connector Connect ElasticEmail to Elaichi and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client can list, create, pause and update email campaigns, import and clean up contacts, and verify sending domains, with every action logged under the person who asked. Source: https://elaichi.ai/connectors/elasticemail/ ## Facts | | | | --- | --- | | Application | ElasticEmail | | Category | Email | | AI tools | 110 | | Authentication | Connects with an API key | | Bring your own OAuth app | No | | MCP endpoint | https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp | | Works with | Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent | | Tools advertised by name | No. Connected tools are never listed one by one, however few there are. The endpoint advertises `search_tools` and `execute_tool` instead | ## What you can ask once ElasticEmail is connected - Pause the spring promo campaign and tell me what is scheduled next - Import these 40 webinar signups as contacts tagged webinar-may - Which of our sending domains are still unverified? ## Connect ElasticEmail in Elaichi This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved. 1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick ElasticEmail. 2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect. 3. Paste an ElasticEmail API key. One person generates a token in ElasticEmail and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it. Credentials are vaulted and nobody, including the AI, reads them back. The connection becomes a toolbox immediately, so you can curate which ElasticEmail tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it. ## ElasticEmail MCP connector for Claude Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open Customize, then Connectors. 2. Press Add. 3. Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue. 4. Sign in and approve. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves. ## ElasticEmail MCP connector for ChatGPT Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open Plugins, then press the + button. 2. Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL. 3. Leave Authentication on OAuth, then tick the risk acknowledgement. 4. Press Create, then sign in and approve. Works on the web today. The plugin directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins. ## ElasticEmail MCP connector for Cursor Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. 2. Add the endpoint under `mcpServers`. 3. Reload Cursor, then sign in and approve. Set up per machine, so repeat it on each computer you work from. ## Connect ElasticEmail to any MCP client Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Add the endpoint as a remote MCP server. 2. Sign in and approve. The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up. ## What the consent screen decides Only Read is granted by default, which is not enough to call a ElasticEmail tool. 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. Grant Read and Run tools. Think hard before granting Delete, which reaches into connected apps and cannot be undone. ## What teams do with ElasticEmail through Elaichi ### Set up the next campaign from a brief Marketing. Describe the send in plain words and have the campaign created in ElasticEmail, then check the details before anything goes out. Pause it from the same place if a date slips. ### Load event signups into ElasticEmail Sales. Paste the signups from a webinar or trade show and import them as ElasticEmail contacts in one go, ready for the follow-up sequence. ### Fix a contact record after a complaint Support. When someone writes in asking to change their details or stop receiving mail, look up their ElasticEmail contact and update or remove it while they are still on the line. ### Start an automation for a new segment Lifecycle. Trigger an ElasticEmail automation for the contacts who just qualified, without opening the dashboard or waiting for someone with admin access. ### Check sending domains before a launch IT. List every domain connected to ElasticEmail, see which ones are still unverified or restricted, and set the right one as the default before marketing hits send. ### Export and prune the contact list Operations. Pull an export of ElasticEmail contacts, check how far it has got, and remove stale or duplicate records in bulk once the review is done. ## Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for ElasticEmail All three can connect ElasticEmail to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay. | What to check | Elaichi | Zapier MCP | Composio | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Where the AI connects | One address for the whole organization. Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp | A server per member, created at sign-in. | An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK. | | Control over ElasticEmail tools | Allow or restrict single ElasticEmail tools, per role or user. | App and action restrictions on the account. | Role permissions, down to the action. | | Record of calls | One audit entry per ElasticEmail call. | A History tab of tool calls. | A log of every tool call. | | Single sign-on | SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. | SAML on Enterprise. | SAML and OIDC on Enterprise. | | Price | $15 per user per month. | 2 tasks per successful call. | Billed per tool call. | Sources: Zapier MCP [docs](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/get-started/quickstart), [security](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/manage/security), [usage](https://docs.zapier.com/mcp/features/usage); Composio [docs](https://docs.composio.dev/docs/composio-connect), [gateway](https://composio.dev/mcp-gateway), [enterprise](https://composio.dev/enterprise), [pricing](https://composio.dev/pricing).

Two steps. In Elaichi, choose ElasticEmail and paste in your ElasticEmail API key, which is the only sign-in step, so 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 asks you to sign in to Elaichi as yourself and ElasticEmail is available from then on. ### Does ElasticEmail work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude? Yes. Once ElasticEmail 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 ElasticEmail once and every client you use picks it up. ### What can an AI agent actually do with my ElasticEmail data? It can list your ElasticEmail campaigns, create or update one, pause it, or trigger an automation. It can look up, add, change and remove contacts, import a batch or export the list, and it can check which sending domains are verified and set the default. Short, concrete asks such as "pause the May newsletter" work better than long paragraphs. ### Does connecting ElasticEmail give the AI access to every campaign and contact? The AI gets exactly what the person who signed in to ElasticEmail can already see, because every call runs under that person's own key and account. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading campaigns but not deleting contacts, and it can never widen it beyond what ElasticEmail itself allows. ### Can my team share one ElasticEmail connection? Yes. One person connects ElasticEmail in Elaichi and shares it with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log shows who created a campaign or imported a list, not just the shared account. ### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in ElasticEmail? Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading ElasticEmail campaigns and contacts while blocking deletes, bulk removals or domain changes. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it. ### What happens to a ElasticEmail connection when someone leaves? Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to ElasticEmail through every client at once. A shared ElasticEmail connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want ElasticEmail gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client. ### Does the ElasticEmail MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients? Yes. ElasticEmail 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 ElasticEmail? Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use ElasticEmail. 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 ElasticEmail call. ### How is Elaichi different from Composio for ElasticEmail? 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 ElasticEmail: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call. ## All 110 ElasticEmail tools Every tool below is callable through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp once ElasticEmail is connected, subject to the toolbox it is in and the restrictions on the caller. - **List all ElasticEmail campaigns** (List).
