LeadIQ MCP connector
The LeadIQ connector brings your saved contacts, companies, and prospect search to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each rep searches and reviews prospects inside their own LeadIQ access, with every call logged.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect LeadIQ to Claude?
Connect LeadIQ in Elaichi first by pasting your LeadIQ API key, which you copy from your LeadIQ account settings. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs you in as yourself and LeadIQ is ready to ask.
Does LeadIQ work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once LeadIQ is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect LeadIQ once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my LeadIQ data?
It can search LeadIQ for people by title, company, or location, search for companies by industry, size, or region, and list the contacts and companies already saved in your LeadIQ account. That means asking for a call list, researching an account before a meeting, or checking whether a company is already covered, all in plain language. Short, concrete asks such as "VPs of Sales at fintech companies in Boston" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting LeadIQ give the AI everything in my account?
No. Every call to LeadIQ runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees only the contacts, companies, and searches that person can already see in LeadIQ. Elaichi can narrow that further with roles and restrictions, and it never widens it beyond what LeadIQ itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in LeadIQ?
This LeadIQ connector only searches and lists people, contacts, and companies, so there is nothing for an agent to delete or edit. Restrictions in Elaichi still apply per action, so you can turn off company search or contact listing for a team if you want. A restricted action is left out of the AI client's list entirely and cannot be called, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a LeadIQ connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their LeadIQ access at once, in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client. A shared LeadIQ connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want LeadIQ gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from every client.
Does the LeadIQ MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. LeadIQ 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 LeadIQ?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use LeadIQ. 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 LeadIQ call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for LeadIQ?
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 LeadIQ: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
