What teams do with Mercury through Elaichi

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

  • Finance

    Find a transaction without opening Mercury

    Ask which payments went out last week, who they went to and what they were for, and get the answer from live Mercury transactions across every account.

  • Accounting

    Add a memo to a transaction after month end

    Catch a Mercury transaction up with the note or category it was missing so the books close without a hunt through the statement.

  • Billing

    Draft and send a customer invoice

    Create a Mercury customer for a new client, then raise the invoice for the agreed amount and check later whether it is still outstanding.

  • Operations

    Set up a new vendor as a recipient

    Add a supplier as a Mercury recipient with their payment details, then arrange a payment to them from the right account once approved.

  • Founders

    Check the balance across every account

    Ask for a quick view of all Mercury accounts before a big decision, and see which account is best placed to cover it.

  • Operations

    Issue a card for a new hire

    Create a Mercury card for someone joining, adjust it when their role changes, and remove it when they no longer need it.

Try asking

  • “List last week's Mercury transactions over 5,000 dollars.”
  • “Which Mercury cards were issued this month, and to whom?”
  • “Show balances across all Mercury accounts today.”

For IT and engineering

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Mercury

All three can connect Mercury 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 Mercury, 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 Mercury tools Allow or restrict single Mercury 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 Mercury 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.

Mercury tools for your AI agents

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect Mercury to Claude?

In Elaichi, choose Mercury and paste in an API key from your Mercury account, which takes about a minute. There is no client ID or secret to generate and no OAuth application to register. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the Elaichi endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself when Claude asks and your Mercury connection is ready.

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

Yes. You connect Mercury once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. Nothing has to be set up again per client.

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

It can look across your Mercury accounts, find and explain individual transactions, add notes to them, and set up a payment to a saved recipient. It can also create and update customers, raise and edit invoices, add or update payment recipients, and issue, change or remove cards. Because Mercury has a lot of possible actions, short concrete asks like "list card payments over 500 dollars in March" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Mercury give the AI access to every account and payment?

No. Every request runs inside the Mercury access of the person who signed in, so the AI sees the accounts, cards and transactions that person could already see in Mercury. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to viewing only, but it can never widen it beyond what Mercury itself allows that person.

Can my team share one Mercury connection?

Yes. One finance lead connects Mercury in Elaichi and shares it with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every Mercury action in the audit log carries the name of the person who asked for it.

Can I stop an agent from creating payments or deleting things in Mercury?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Mercury accounts and transactions while restricting payments, card deletion or invoice changes. 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 Mercury connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Mercury through every client at once, with no key to rotate. A shared Mercury connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want Mercury gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and the Elaichi Agent together.

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

Yes. Mercury 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 Mercury?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Mercury?

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

Put Mercury in front of your team
