# GitBook MCP connector The GitBook connector brings your GitBook organizations, members, teams, invites, and documentation sites into Elaichi, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or the Elaichi Agent can look them up and manage them as the person who signed in.

Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick GitBook. 2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect. 3. Paste a GitBook API key. One person generates a token in GitBook 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 GitBook tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it. ## Connect GitBook 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 GitBook 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 GitBook 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 GitBook 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 GitBook 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 GitBook through Elaichi ### Spin up a new docs site Documentation. Ask for a new GitBook site when a product or internal handbook needs its own home, and it is created in the right organization without opening a browser tab. ### Invite new hires and remove leavers IT. Send a GitBook invite to everyone starting on Monday, and remove members who have left, from one conversation instead of one admin screen at a time. ### Organize contributors into teams Engineering. Create a GitBook team for a new squad, rename one after a reorg, and check who is on each team before handing them a space to maintain. ### See who can edit the help center Support. Ask which GitBook members and teams have access to the organization behind your public help center before a big release lands. ### Clean up stale invitations Operations. List every pending GitBook invite, spot the ones sent months ago to people who never joined, and withdraw them in a single pass. ### Change a member's role after a move People. When someone moves from contributor to admin, or the other way, update their GitBook organization membership and confirm the change without asking IT to do it. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I connect GitBook to Claude? First connect GitBook in Elaichi by pasting an API key from your GitBook account settings. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate, and the whole thing takes a few minutes. ### Does GitBook work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude? Yes. Once GitBook 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 GitBook once and every client you use picks it up. ### What can an AI agent actually do with my GitBook data? With GitBook connected, an agent can list your organizations, members, teams, and documentation sites, look up a specific person or team, send or withdraw invites, update a member's role, create or rename teams, and create a new site. Because GitBook offers a large set of actions, short concrete asks such as "list pending GitBook invites" work better than long paragraphs. ### Does connecting GitBook give the AI access to my whole organization? No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees only the GitBook organizations, members, and sites that person can already see, and GitBook's own permissions still apply. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what GitBook itself allows. ### Can my team share one GitBook connection? Yes. One admin connects GitBook in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every GitBook change. ### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in GitBook? Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow listing GitBook members and sites while blocking anything that deletes an organization, removes a member, or changes a team. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it. ### What happens to a GitBook connection when someone leaves? When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to GitBook through every AI client ends at once. A GitBook connection they were sharing keeps working for the rest of the team. If you later disconnect GitBook once in Elaichi, it is removed from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time. ## All 59 GitBook tools Every tool below is callable through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp once GitBook is connected, subject to the toolbox it is in and the restrictions on the caller. - **List all GitBook user** (List).
