Guru MCP connector

The Guru connector brings announcements, answers, team analytics and AI evaluations into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent, so each person works with Guru as themselves and every call lands in an audit log.

  • 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.

How to connect

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste a Guru API key. One person generates a token in Guru and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Guru to Claude?

Connect Guru in Elaichi first by pasting a Guru API key, which is the only sign-in step Guru needs. There is no OAuth app to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs in to Elaichi and Guru is ready to use.

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

Yes. Guru is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, is pasted into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other MCP client. The Elaichi Agent uses the same Guru connection without any extra setup.

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

With Guru connected, an agent can read and create announcements, send read reminders, see who has read what, record or assign answers, pull team analytics and user stats, and run or review AI evaluations. Short, concrete asks work best, such as who has not read this week's Guru announcement, rather than a long paragraph of instructions.

Does connecting Guru give the AI everything in my Guru workspace?

No. Every call to Guru runs inside the access of the person who signed in, so an agent sees only the Guru announcements, answers and analytics that person can already see. Elaichi can narrow that access further with roles and restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what Guru itself allows.

Can my team share one Guru connection?

Yes. One person connects Guru in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Guru API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every Guru call.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Guru announcements and answers while blocking deletion or edits. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Guru connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Guru through every client at once. A Guru connection shared with a team keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Guru once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent together.

Does the Guru MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Guru 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 Guru?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Guru. 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 Guru call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Guru?

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 Guru: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
