Gladly MCP connector

The Gladly connector brings your customers, conversations, tasks, agents, teams, and inboxes into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can look up a customer, read a thread, or create a follow-up task inside their own Gladly access, with every call logged.

  • 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Gladly to Claude?

Connecting Gladly to Claude takes two steps. First, connect Gladly in Elaichi by pasting a Gladly API key, which you copy from the API tokens area of your Gladly settings; there is no client ID or secret to generate and no OAuth application to register. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi as yourself, and Gladly is ready to use.

Does Gladly work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Gladly 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 Gladly once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Gladly data?

With Gladly connected, an AI agent can look up a customer and read their full conversation history, pull the messages and internal notes from a single conversation, and summarize what happened. It can create and update Gladly customers, create and update tasks, add comments to tasks, and list your agents, teams, and inboxes. Because Gladly exposes a lot of actions, short concrete asks such as "find the customer with this email" work better than one long paragraph.

Does connecting Gladly give the AI access to every customer and conversation?

No. The AI acts inside the access of the person who signed in, so it sees the Gladly customers, conversations, and inboxes that person can already see. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example read-only on customers, but it can never widen what Gladly itself allows for that person.

Can my team share one Gladly connection?

Yes. One person connects Gladly in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Gladly API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every action against Gladly is logged under their own name, not the name of whoever connected it.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can block deleting Gladly customers or updating tasks while leaving reading and summarizing available. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Gladly connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Gladly through every AI client ends at once. If they were using a shared Gladly connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you disconnect Gladly in Elaichi altogether, it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client in one step.
