HaloITSM MCP connector

Connecting HaloITSM to Elaichi lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client look up tickets, assets, users, agents, and appointments in HaloITSM, add actions to them, and book work, all inside each person's own HaloITSM access with every call logged.

  • How it connects. App credentials. 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

How to connect HaloITSM to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

In Elaichi

Connect HaloITSM once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick HaloITSM.

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

Use cases

What teams do with HaloITSM through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Service desk

    Catch a ticket up after a call

    Once the phone call ends, ask the assistant to add an action to the HaloITSM ticket with what was agreed, so the record is current before the next request comes in.

  • Support

    See who is on which team

    Ask which HaloITSM agents sit on the network team, or pull up a single agent's details, without leaving the chat where you are already planning the shift.

  • IT asset management

    Register a new laptop as an asset

    When kit arrives, describe the device in plain language and have it created as a HaloITSM asset, then look it up later by ID when a ticket mentions it.

  • Field services

    Book the site visit while talking

    Ask the assistant to create a HaloITSM appointment for the engineer, or list the appointments already in the diary for tomorrow, so double bookings are caught early.

  • People operations

    Set up a new starter in HaloITSM

    On day one, ask to create the new hire as a HaloITSM user and confirm which team they belong to, so their first request is not stuck on a missing account.

  • IT management

    Review the HaloITSM setup at a glance

    List all HaloITSM teams, agents, and users in one place to spot leavers still active, empty teams, or agents who need reassigning, then tidy up from the same conversation.

Try asking

  • “Show tickets opened this week by team.”
  • “Which HaloITSM agents have the most open actions?”
  • “List users added to the service desk team.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect HaloITSM to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, choose HaloITSM and enter your HaloITSM app credentials when asked, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no client ID or secret to generate, and no OAuth application to register on the HaloITSM side.

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

Yes. Once HaloITSM is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect HaloITSM once and use it from whichever client you happen to be in.

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

With HaloITSM connected, an assistant can look up users, agents, teams, assets, appointments, and actions in HaloITSM by name or ID, list them, and create new ones, such as adding an action to a ticket, booking an appointment for an engineer, or registering a new asset. It can also remove records where your HaloITSM access allows it. Because HaloITSM offers a lot of options, short concrete asks like "list open appointments for tomorrow" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting HaloITSM give the AI everything in my helpdesk?

No. Every request runs as the person who signed in to HaloITSM, so the assistant sees only the tickets, assets, and users that person can already see in HaloITSM. Elaichi can narrow that further for a team or a role, but it never grants anything HaloITSM itself would not allow.

Can my team share one HaloITSM connection?

Yes. One person connects HaloITSM in Elaichi and shares it with a team, and nobody else has to handle the HaloITSM app credentials. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every HaloITSM lookup or change.

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

Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict individual HaloITSM actions, for example allowing lookups of assets and appointments while blocking deletion of users or agents. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a HaloITSM connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to HaloITSM through every client at once. If they had shared a HaloITSM connection with the team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting HaloITSM once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client in one step.
