What teams do with Kayako through Elaichi

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

  • Support

    Catch the case up after a call

    Tell the agent what the customer said on the phone and it adds an internal note to the Kayako case, updates the status and adds the right tags, so the next person to open it sees the whole story.

  • Support

    Draft the reply before you send it

    Ask for a reply that takes the earlier posts and notes on the case into account, read it over, then have it sent as a reply on the case through the channel the customer wrote in on.

  • Support leadership

    Clear the backlog in one pass

    Ask which Kayako cases have had no reply since Friday, then raise their priority or move them to another team in bulk instead of opening each one.

  • Customer success

    See everything one account has open

    Before a renewal call, pull every open case for that organization in Kayako, with the latest note on each, so nothing the customer is waiting on comes as a surprise.

  • Quality

    Tag this week's cases by theme

    Have the agent read the week's new cases and tag them billing, login or shipping, so the weekly review shows where the volume is coming from without anyone sorting by hand.

  • Operations

    Trace a suspicious email to its source

    When a forwarded case looks off, pull up the original email exactly as it arrived in Kayako, trash it in bulk with the rest of the spam, and restore anything that was trashed by mistake.

Questions, answered

How do I connect Kayako to Claude?

Connect Kayako in Elaichi first: Kayako connects with an API key, so you paste the key from your Kayako admin area once and you are done, with 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 the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and Kayako cases are available in Claude from that point on.

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

Yes. Once Kayako 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 Kayako once and every client your team uses picks it up.

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

With Kayako connected, an agent can find cases, read the posts and notes on a case, draft and send replies, add internal notes, change status or priority, add tags and update many cases at once. It can also list the cases open for one organization, pull up the original email behind a case, and trash, restore or empty trashed cases. Because Kayako has a lot of actions, short concrete asks like "show me open cases for Acme" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Kayako give the AI access to every case in the helpdesk?

No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees only the Kayako cases, notes and organizations that person can already see in Kayako. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example limiting a team to reading cases, but it can never widen access beyond what Kayako itself allows that person.

Can my team share one Kayako connection?

Yes. One person connects Kayako with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else on the team ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records exactly who replied to a case or changed its status.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work action by action, so you can restrict trashing cases, emptying the trash or bulk updates while still allowing replies and notes. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a Kayako connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Kayako through every client at once. If they had shared the Kayako connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want Kayako gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client together.

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

Yes. Kayako 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 Kayako?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Kayako?

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

Put Kayako in front of your team
