What teams do with Katana MRP through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Katana MRP is logged.

  • Warehouse

    Move stock between bins without opening a screen

    Ask for a bin transfer from receiving to the pick face, and the transfer is created in Katana MRP with each row filled in. Mark a whole set of transfers done at the end of a shift in one go.

  • Production

    Check batch stock before the run starts

    See which batches of a material are on hand and how much is in each before a shift begins. Adjust a batch stock line when the count on the floor does not match the record.

  • Operations

    Keep bin locations matching the building

    Add, rename, or remove bin locations when racking moves, so Katana MRP describes the warehouse as it stands today.

  • Engineering

    Fix a bill of materials line quickly

    Change a quantity or remove a component on a BOM row after a design change, without clicking through every product.

  • Finance

    Trace additional costs against stock

    List freight, duty, and other additional costs recorded in Katana MRP so landed cost questions are answered from the record rather than a spreadsheet.

  • Quality

    Find where a batch sits right now

    Pull batch stock and bin inventories for a batch number and see exactly which bins hold it before a hold or recall goes out.

Try asking

  • “Which batches of steel tubing are in bin A-12?”
  • “Move batch 4471 from receiving to bin B-3”
  • “List additional costs recorded on last week's batches”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Katana MRP

All three can connect Katana MRP to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Elaichi compared with Zapier MCP and Composio for Katana MRP, by what to check
What to check Elaichi Zapier MCP Composio
Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Katana MRP tools Allow or restrict single Katana MRP tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Katana MRP call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.
Single sign-on SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. SAML on Enterprise. SAML and OIDC on Enterprise.
Price Free for one person; $15 per user per month on Gold. 2 tasks per successful call. Billed per tool call.

Katana MRP tools for your AI agents

231 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Katana MRP, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.

Questions, answered

How do I connect Katana MRP to Claude?

In Elaichi, choose Katana MRP and paste the API key from your Katana MRP settings, then the connection is ready. In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate, so the whole thing takes a few minutes.

Does Katana MRP work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Katana MRP 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 Katana MRP once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Katana MRP data?

An agent connected to Katana MRP can look up batches and batch stock, list what sits in each bin, create and update bin transfers, tidy bin locations, edit rows on a bill of materials, and list additional costs. Short, concrete asks such as "move batch 4471 to bin B-3" work better than long paragraphs. It works with the live Katana MRP records, not a copy you have to export.

Does connecting Katana MRP give the AI everything in my inventory?

No. Every call into Katana MRP runs as the person who signed in, so an agent sees only the batches, bins, and bills of materials that person can already reach in Katana MRP. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Katana MRP itself allows.

Can my team share one Katana MRP connection?

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

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading batches and bins while restricting deletion of bin locations or edits to bill of materials rows. A restricted Katana MRP 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 Katana MRP connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Katana MRP through every client at once. A shared Katana MRP connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want Katana MRP gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client.

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

Yes. Katana MRP 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 Katana MRP?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Katana MRP. 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 Katana MRP call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Katana MRP?

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

Put Katana MRP in front of your team
