For IT and engineering

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Missive

All three can connect Missive 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 Missive, 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 Missive tools Allow or restrict single Missive 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 Missive call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.

Missive tools for your AI agents

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect Missive to Claude?

In Elaichi, choose Missive and paste in a Missive API key, which you create in Missive under your 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. Sign in as yourself and Missive is available in Claude within a few minutes.

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

Yes. Once Missive 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 Missive once and every client you use picks it up.

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

With Missive connected, an agent can read shared inbox conversations, their messages and internal comments, look up and update contacts, download attachments, find saved responses, create drafts, and create or rename shared labels. It can also list users, teams, and organizations so it knows who handles what. Missive has a lot of actions, so short, specific asks such as "summarize the thread with Acme from this week" work better than long instructions.

Does connecting Missive give the AI access to every shared inbox?

No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, so an agent sees only the Missive conversations, contact books, and teams that person already has access to in Missive. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what the person could do in Missive themselves.

Can my team share one Missive connection?

Yes. One person connects Missive in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the Missive API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every Missive conversation read or contact updated.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Missive?

Yes. In Elaichi, restrictions on the Missive connection work per action, so you can allow reading conversations and contacts while restricting draft deletion, contact updates, or label 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 Missive connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Missive through every AI client at once. If the Missive connection was shared with a team, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. And if you ever want Missive gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client at the same time.

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

Yes. Missive 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 Missive?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Missive?

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

Put Missive in front of your team
