What teams do with Envoy through Elaichi
Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Envoy is logged.
-
Front desk
Pre-register tomorrow's visitors before they arrive
Paste a guest list from an email and have the invites created in Envoy for the right location and host, so badges are ready when people walk in.
-
Workplace
See who is in the office right now
Ask which visitors have signed in today at a given location, who is hosting them, and which sign-in flow they came through.
-
Executive assistants
Set up a recurring visitor in one step
An advisor or contractor who comes every Tuesday gets a single recurring invite in Envoy instead of a new invite each week, and it can be updated when the schedule shifts.
-
Security
Confirm whether a visitor was expected
Look up an invite by name, check it against today's entries, and fix the details if the visitor's name or host was entered wrong.
-
People
Plan which days people are on site
Create work schedules in Envoy for new hires and team days, remove them when plans change, and see who is scheduled at each location.
-
Facilities
Compare sign-in traffic across locations
Pull entries by location and flow to see which offices are busiest on which days, then adjust front desk staffing to match.
Try asking
- “Which Envoy entries at the London location are still signed in?”
- “List all Envoy invites expected tomorrow by location.”
- “How many employees are registered at our Austin Envoy location?”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Envoy
All three can connect Envoy to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Questions, answered
How do I connect Envoy to Claude?
Connect Envoy in Elaichi first, which means pasting an API key from your Envoy account; there is no OAuth app to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Envoy invites, entries, locations, and work schedules are available in Claude.
Does Envoy work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Envoy 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 Envoy once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Envoy data?
With Envoy connected, an agent can create, update, or cancel visitor invites, set up recurring invites for regular guests, look up who signed in at a location and when, record an entry, and create or remove work schedules for employees. It can also list your Envoy companies, locations, employees, and sign-in flows to answer questions like who is hosting the 2pm visitor. Because Envoy exposes many actions, short concrete asks such as invite Dana Lee to the Austin office tomorrow at 10 work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Envoy give the AI access to every location and every visitor?
No. The agent works inside the Envoy access of the person who signed in, so it sees the locations, invites, and entries that person can already see in Envoy. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to read-only or to specific actions, but it can never grant more than the person's Envoy account allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Envoy?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Envoy invites and entries while restricting deleting invites or removing work schedules. 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 an Envoy connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Envoy through every client at once. A shared Envoy connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you disconnect Envoy in Elaichi, it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client in one step.
Does the Envoy MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Envoy 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 Envoy?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Envoy. 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 Envoy call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Envoy?
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 Envoy: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
