Payment Gateway
Flutterwave MCP connector
The Flutterwave connector brings customers, charges, payment methods, wallet balances and transfers into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can look up a payment or start a payout while signed in as themselves.
-
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 Flutterwave through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Finance
Check a payment before you reply
Ask for a customer's recent Flutterwave charges by name or email and see whether the payment went through, how much was collected and when, before writing back.
-
Support
Find the customer behind a failed charge
Search Flutterwave customers from a support ticket, pull the charge in question and update the customer's details if the email or phone number on file was wrong.
-
Treasury
Know what is in every wallet
Read Flutterwave wallet balances across currencies and pull a statement for the period, so the morning cash position is a question rather than a spreadsheet.
-
Operations
Send a payout without the bank form
Resolve the recipient's account, pick the right bank or branch from the Flutterwave list, and create the transfer, then check its status a few minutes later.
-
Sales
Set up a new customer to bill
Create the Flutterwave customer when a deal closes, add their payment method and raise the first charge from the same conversation.
-
Finance
Reconcile transfers at month end
List the Flutterwave transfers that went out this month, pull any single transfer by ID and match it against the wallet statement without opening the dashboard.
Try asking
- “Show Flutterwave charges created this week by payment method.”
- “Find the Flutterwave customer for this email address.”
- “List failed charges over 50,000 from the last 30 days.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Flutterwave to Claude?
First connect Flutterwave in Elaichi by pasting the app credentials from your Flutterwave dashboard; 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 the Elaichi endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in to Elaichi as yourself when Claude asks, and Flutterwave customers, charges, wallets and transfers are available in the chat.
Does Flutterwave work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Flutterwave 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 Flutterwave once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Flutterwave data?
It can search Flutterwave customers, create or update a customer, list and create charges and payment methods, read wallet balances and statements, look up banks and branches, resolve an account number and create or check transfers. In practice that means asking whether a customer paid, what a wallet holds today or where a payout is. Flutterwave exposes many actions, so short, specific asks like "show this week's transfers" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Flutterwave give the AI access to our whole account and balances?
No. Everything the AI does in Flutterwave runs through the connection your organization set up and the Elaichi account of the person asking, so it can reach only what those Flutterwave credentials already reach. Elaichi can narrow that further with roles and restrictions, and it never widens it beyond what Flutterwave itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from moving money or changing things in Flutterwave?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Flutterwave customers, charges and balances while blocking creating transfers or updating charges. 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 Flutterwave connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Flutterwave at once, in every client they used. A shared Flutterwave connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you later want Flutterwave gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
