Questions, answered
How do I connect Method CRM to Claude?
Connect Method CRM in Elaichi first: paste in your Method CRM API key when prompted, which is the only sign-in step Method CRM needs. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate, so the whole thing takes a few minutes.
Does Method CRM work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Method CRM 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 Method CRM once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Method CRM data?
With Method CRM connected, an agent can look up records in your Method CRM tables, such as customers, contacts, opportunities and activities, add new records, update existing ones and count how many match a question. It can also list the files attached to a record, fetch a download link, upload a new file or update a batch of files at once. It can kick off a table sync and tell you which Method CRM account it is signed in as.
Does connecting Method CRM give the AI everything in my account?
No. Everything an agent does in Method CRM runs inside the access of the person who connected it, so it sees the same tables and files that person can see in Method CRM and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to read-only work, but it can never widen it beyond what Method CRM already allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Method CRM?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow looking up and counting Method CRM records while restricting deleting tables, deleting files or making changes. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a Method CRM connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Method CRM through every client at once. If the Method CRM connection was shared with a team, it keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want to remove Method CRM entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client together.
Does the Method CRM MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Method CRM 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 Method CRM?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Method CRM. 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 Method CRM call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Method CRM?
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 Method CRM: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
