# GetGist MCP connector The GetGist connector brings help center articles, collections, contacts, tags and events into Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, so your team can search, update and tag GetGist records by asking, with every action logged.

The endpoint advertises `search_tools` and `execute_tool` instead | ## What you can ask once GetGist is connected - Which GetGist articles about billing haven't been updated this year? - Tag every contact who attended last week's webinar - Draft a new article for the onboarding collection ## Connect GetGist in Elaichi This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved. 1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick GetGist. 2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect. 3. Supply your own GetGist app, then approve. GetGist needs an OAuth app you register yourself, so bring its client ID and secret. One person does this once for the organization. Credentials are vaulted and nobody, including the AI, reads them back. The connection becomes a toolbox immediately, so you can curate which GetGist tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it. ## GetGist 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. ## GetGist 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. ## GetGist 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 GetGist 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 GetGist 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 GetGist through Elaichi ### Keep the help center current Support. Ask which GetGist articles mention a retired feature, then have the agent draft the corrections and update each article in its collection. ### Tag contacts after a campaign Marketing. After a webinar or launch, tag the GetGist contacts who showed up and untag the ones who have gone quiet, without exporting a spreadsheet. ### Catch a contact up after a call Sales. Tell the agent what changed on the call and it updates the GetGist contact, records the event and applies the right tag for follow-up. ### Spot customers who need a nudge Customer Success. Ask for GetGist contacts tagged as trial users with no recent events, then send the list to the person who owns renewals. ### Turn release notes into articles Product. Paste release notes and the agent creates a GetGist article in the right collection, written in the voice of your existing help center. ### Clean up duplicate contacts and tags Operations. Find GetGist contacts that appear twice, merge the details through an upsert, and remove tags nobody has used in months. ## Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for GetGist All three can connect GetGist to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls.

In Elaichi, choose GetGist and sign in; GetGist connects with an API key from your GetGist settings, and because this connector uses an OAuth application registered inside GetGist, one person brings a client ID and secret once when setting it up. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. That is the whole setup, and everyone after that first person simply signs in as themselves. ### Does GetGist work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude? Yes. Once GetGist 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 GetGist once and every client picks it up. ### What can an AI agent actually do with my GetGist data? It can search and read your GetGist help center articles and collections, create or update an article, look up a contact, add or update contacts in bulk, track an event against a contact, and tag or untag groups of contacts. Short, concrete asks work best, such as "tag everyone who attended Tuesday's webinar" rather than a long paragraph. Anything it changes shows up in GetGist right away and in the Elaichi audit log. ### Does connecting GetGist give the AI access to my whole workspace? No. The agent only sees what the person who signed in to GetGist can already see, because every call runs under that person's own GetGist access. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example read-only on articles for one team, but it can never widen what GetGist itself allows. ### Can my team share one GetGist connection? Yes. One person connects GetGist in Elaichi and shares it with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key or client secret. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every GetGist change. ### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in GetGist? Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can block deleting GetGist articles, collections, contacts or tags while still allowing searches and updates. A restricted action is never advertised to the AI client at all, so no prompt, however it is worded, can reach it. ### What happens to a GetGist connection when someone leaves? Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their GetGist access immediately across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client. If they had shared a GetGist connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting GetGist once in Elaichi removes it from every client at the same time. ### Does the GetGist MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients? Yes. GetGist 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 GetGist? Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use GetGist. 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 GetGist call. ### How is Elaichi different from Composio for GetGist? 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 GetGist: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call. ## All 59 GetGist tools Every tool below is callable through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp once GetGist is connected, subject to the toolbox it is in and the restrictions on the caller. - **List all GetGist articles** (List).
