JustSift tools for your AI agents
5 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect JustSift, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.
No tools match your search.
Questions, answered
How do I connect JustSift to Claude?
First, connect JustSift in Elaichi by pasting your JustSift API key; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in to Elaichi when Claude asks, and JustSift people search is available in your next conversation.
Does JustSift work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once JustSift is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect JustSift once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my JustSift data?
Through this connector an agent can search JustSift for people by name, team, location or any profile field, combine several filters into one search, open a single person's full profile, see their photo and other media, and check which fields your JustSift directory holds. In practice that means asking who is on a team, who someone reports to, or who has a particular skill. Short, concrete asks such as "everyone in Finance in Austin" work better than long sentences.
Does connecting JustSift give the AI everything in the directory?
No. Access through Elaichi follows the JustSift API key that was connected and the person who signed in to Elaichi, so an agent can only see the JustSift people and fields that connection can already see. Elaichi can narrow that further with roles and restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what JustSift itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in JustSift?
Nothing in this connector can change or delete anything: all five JustSift actions look people, profiles, media and fields up, and none of them write back. If you also want to restrict a particular lookup, such as browsing photos, Elaichi restrictions work per action, and a restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but the AI client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a JustSift connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to JustSift through every AI client at once. A JustSift connection they shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want the connection gone entirely, disconnecting JustSift once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client together.
Does the JustSift MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. JustSift 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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 JustSift?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use JustSift. 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 JustSift call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for JustSift?
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 JustSift: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
Put JustSift in front of your team
14 days of Black, no credit card. Connect it once and pick what each team can call.
