Questions, answered
How do I connect Lightspeed to Claude?
Connecting Lightspeed to Claude takes two steps. First, in Elaichi, choose Lightspeed and paste in the API key from your Lightspeed account, and you are connected. 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.
Does Lightspeed work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Lightspeed 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 Lightspeed once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Lightspeed data?
An agent can look up Lightspeed customers, products, brands, suppliers, outlets, registers, users and sales, and answer questions about them in plain language. It can also create and update customers, products and brands, and create consignments for incoming stock. Because Lightspeed has a large set of tools, short concrete asks like "find the customer Priya Shah" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Lightspeed give the AI my whole store?
No. The Lightspeed API key carries the access of the account that created it, and each person signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every request runs under that identity. Elaichi can narrow what the AI is allowed to do in Lightspeed, for example read only, but it can never widen access beyond what the connected account already has.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Lightspeed?
Yes. In Elaichi, restrictions on the Lightspeed connection work per action, so you can allow reading sales and customers while restricting deletes, or restricting any change to products. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a Lightspeed connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Lightspeed at once, across every client they used. If they had shared a Lightspeed connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Lightspeed once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client in one step.
Does the Lightspeed MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Lightspeed 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 Lightspeed?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Lightspeed. 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 Lightspeed call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Lightspeed?
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 Lightspeed: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
