Use cases
What teams do with ManageEngine Endpoint Central through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
IT
Find the computers still missing patches
Ask which systems have outstanding patches and get the list grouped by severity before the weekly maintenance window. No more exporting patch summaries to a spreadsheet to see where you stand.
-
Help desk
Pull up a machine before the call
When a ticket names a laptop, get its hardware, installed software and system health in one ask. The agent reads the live record so you are not asking the caller to find their serial number.
-
Security
Check encryption and firewall across the fleet
Ask which computers have disk encryption turned off or the firewall disabled and get a plain list to act on. Run the same check before an audit without logging into the console.
-
Finance
See which warranties expire this quarter
Pull warranty dates and asset summaries for every computer to plan the refresh budget. Group them by remote office so each site's spend is clear.
-
Compliance
Answer the auditor from live records
Produce a list of every computer, its encryption status and its patch state as of today, with the audit log showing who pulled it and when.
-
Operations
Compare software across remote offices
Ask what is installed at each remote office and spot machines running versions the rest of the company has moved past. Useful before a rollout or a license true-up.
Try asking
- “Which computers are missing critical patches this week?”
- “List laptops with disk encryption turned off.”
- “Which computer warranties expire in the next 90 days?”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect ManageEngine Endpoint Central to Claude?
Two steps. In Elaichi, choose ManageEngine Endpoint Central and sign in over OAuth with your Endpoint Central account; 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 https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in once and Claude can start answering questions about your computers.
Does ManageEngine Endpoint Central work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once ManageEngine Endpoint Central 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 it once and every client you use sees it.
What can an AI agent actually do with my ManageEngine Endpoint Central data?
It can list your computers and tell you about any one of them: hardware, installed software, disk encryption, firewall status, warranty, asset summary and system health. It can also pull patch summaries, show which systems need patching, list your remote offices and report on your Endpoint Central server. Short, concrete asks such as "which laptops have encryption off" work better than long sentences.
Does connecting ManageEngine Endpoint Central give the AI access to every computer?
The AI only sees what the person who signed in can see in ManageEngine Endpoint Central. If your Endpoint Central role covers one remote office, that is all the agent can read. Elaichi can narrow that access further with toolboxes and restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what the person already has.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in ManageEngine Endpoint Central?
This connector reads from ManageEngine Endpoint Central; it lists and looks up computers, software, patches and offices, and does not change or delete anything. Beyond that, restrictions in Elaichi work per action: anything you restrict is left out of the AI client's tool list entirely, so it cannot be called no matter what someone types.
What happens to a ManageEngine Endpoint Central connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to ManageEngine Endpoint Central through every AI client at once. A connection shared with a team keeps working for everyone else. If you want it gone completely, disconnect it once in Elaichi and it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
Does the ManageEngine Endpoint Central MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. ManageEngine Endpoint Central 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 ManageEngine Endpoint Central?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use ManageEngine Endpoint Central. 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 ManageEngine Endpoint Central call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for ManageEngine Endpoint Central?
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 ManageEngine Endpoint Central: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
