Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Microsoft Teams
All three can connect Microsoft Teams to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Microsoft Teams tools for your AI agents
45 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Microsoft Teams, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.
No tools match your search.
Questions, answered
How do I connect Microsoft Teams to Claude?
First connect Microsoft Teams in Elaichi. You are sent to the standard Microsoft sign-in page, you approve access for your own account, and you are done, with no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi and Microsoft Teams is available from there.
Does Microsoft Teams work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Microsoft Teams 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 Microsoft Teams once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Microsoft Teams data?
With Microsoft Teams connected, an agent can list your teams and channels, read channel messages and chat messages, search across users and teams, and summarize what happened in a conversation you missed. It can also start chats, send and edit chat messages, create or rename channels, and remove members from a team, always as the person who signed in. Because Microsoft Teams has a large set of actions, short concrete asks such as "summarize the support channel since yesterday" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Microsoft Teams give the AI access to every team and chat?
No. Access to Microsoft Teams follows the person who signed in, so the agent only sees the teams, channels, and chats that person can already open in Teams. Elaichi can narrow that further by restricting actions or limiting what a team's toolbox includes, but it can never widen what Microsoft has granted.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Microsoft Teams?
Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict Microsoft Teams actions one by one, for example allowing reading and searching while restricting deleting channels, chats, or messages and removing team members. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a Microsoft Teams connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Microsoft Teams through every client at once. If they had shared a Microsoft Teams connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Microsoft Teams once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client at the same time.
Does the Microsoft Teams MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Microsoft Teams 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 Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Microsoft Teams. 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 Microsoft Teams call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Microsoft Teams?
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 Microsoft Teams: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
