FlowMate MCP connector
The FlowMate connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients list, start, stop, and update your FlowMate flows, build flows from templates, and read run logs and reports, all inside your own FlowMate access with every action recorded.
-
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 FlowMate through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Engineering
Find out why a flow failed overnight
Ask which FlowMate flows ran last night, pull the logs for the one that failed, and get a plain summary of where it went wrong before standup.
-
Operations
Stop a runaway flow without opening FlowMate
When a flow is firing too often or hitting the wrong system, tell the assistant to stop it by name, then start it again once the fix is in.
-
Product
Spin up a new flow from a template
Pick an existing FlowMate flow template, describe the change you need, and have a working flow generated and named ready for review.
-
IT
Add a new hire to FlowMate
Create the FlowMate user, check which flows they now show up on, and confirm the account details in a single conversation.
-
Support
Check whether a customer's flow actually ran
Look up the flow tied to a ticket, read its recent log entries, and give the customer a clear answer instead of asking engineering to dig.
-
Analytics
Pull weekly flow reporting into a summary
Ask for the FlowMate reporting figures for the week and get run counts, failures, and the flows that need attention in one short brief.
Try asking
- “List all FlowMate flows that are currently stopped.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect FlowMate to Claude?
Connecting FlowMate takes two steps. First, open Elaichi, choose FlowMate, and paste in your FlowMate API key; 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. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi and FlowMate is ready to use.
Does FlowMate work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once FlowMate 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 FlowMate once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my FlowMate data?
With FlowMate connected, an AI agent can list your flows, look up a specific one, update it, start or stop it, and delete it if you allow that. It can browse and create flow templates, generate a new flow from a template, read run logs and reporting, look up FlowMate users or add one, and set up a webhook. In practice that means asking in plain language why a flow failed, or asking for a new flow to be built from a template, and getting it done.
Does connecting FlowMate give the AI access to every flow and user in my workspace?
No. Access to FlowMate follows the FlowMate account whose API key was used to connect, so the AI can only see and change what that account can see and change in FlowMate. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading flows and logs only, but it can never grant more than the underlying FlowMate account has.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing flows in FlowMate?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow an agent to list FlowMate flows and read logs while blocking it from deleting flows, deleting templates, or changing users. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a FlowMate connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to FlowMate through Elaichi ends immediately, across every client they were using. A FlowMate connection they shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want FlowMate gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time.
