## Connect FuseDesk in Elaichi

This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved.

1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick FuseDesk.
2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect.
3. Paste a FuseDesk API key. One person generates a token in FuseDesk 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 FuseDesk tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it.

## Connect FuseDesk to 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.

## Connect FuseDesk to 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.

## Connect FuseDesk to 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 FuseDesk 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 FuseDesk 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 FuseDesk through Elaichi

### Catch up on a case before replying

Support. Pull up a FuseDesk case with its emails and chats and get a short summary of what the customer asked, what has been said, and what is still open.

### Find every open case for one customer

Support. Ask for a contact's cases across FuseDesk and see them together, so a rep knows the full history before picking up the phone.

### See how work is spread across reps

Support leadership. List cases by rep and department to spot who is overloaded, which department is backing up, and where cases are sitting untouched.

### Prepare for a renewal call

Customer success. Review a customer's recent FuseDesk cases, chats and case tags to walk into the call knowing every complaint and every fix.

### Check support history before a pitch

Sales. Look up a prospect's contact record and past cases in FuseDesk so you do not sell an upgrade to someone with three open tickets.

### Report on case tags and themes

Operations. Pull cases grouped by tag from FuseDesk to see which product areas generate the most tickets this month and share the picture with the wider company.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I connect FuseDesk to Claude?

Connect FuseDesk in Elaichi first: pick FuseDesk from the catalog and paste in your FuseDesk API key, which is the only sign-in step. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and FuseDesk cases, chats and contacts are available in Claude.

### Does FuseDesk work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once FuseDesk 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 FuseDesk once and every client you use can reach it.

### What can an AI agent actually do with my FuseDesk data?

An AI agent can look up FuseDesk cases, chats and emails, pull up a contact and everything tied to them, and list your reps, departments and case tags. In practice that means asking for a summary of a case before you reply, finding every open case for one customer, or seeing which department is backed up. This FuseDesk connector reads records; it does not create, edit or delete anything in FuseDesk.

### Does connecting FuseDesk give the AI access to every case and contact?

No. Each person signs in to Elaichi as themselves, and every request to FuseDesk runs inside what that person is allowed to see. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example limiting a team to cases and chats and hiding contact lookups, but it can never widen access beyond what the person already has in FuseDesk.

### Can my team share one FuseDesk connection?

Yes. One person connects FuseDesk with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, so nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records exactly who looked up which FuseDesk case or contact.

### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in FuseDesk?

The FuseDesk connector only reads cases, chats, emails, contacts, reps, departments and case tags, so an agent cannot delete or change anything in FuseDesk through it. Beyond that, Elaichi restrictions work per action: anything you block, such as listing all contacts, is never advertised to the AI client at all, so no prompt can reach it.

### What happens to a FuseDesk connection when someone leaves?

When a person is offboarded in Elaichi, their access to FuseDesk through Elaichi ends at once, in every client they had connected. A shared FuseDesk connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove FuseDesk entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client.
