What teams do with Novu through Elaichi

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

  • Platform

    Audit every channel connection before a launch

    Ask for the full list of Novu channel connections and endpoints and spot the one that is missing or pointed at the wrong place before customers notice.

  • Marketing

    Verify a sending domain and fix failures

    Verify a new Novu domain, run a diagnosis when it fails, and pull the auto configure details so the DNS records get set correctly the first time.

  • Support

    Check where a customer's notifications are going

    Look up a specific Novu channel endpoint or context to confirm which address or device is receiving messages when someone says they never got the notification.

  • Product

    Set up a new notification channel

    Create the Novu channel connection and its endpoint for a new push or chat channel in plain language, then confirm it appears in the list.

  • Operations

    Keep contexts current across environments

    List Novu contexts, update the ones that have drifted, and remove the leftovers from a test that finished months ago.

  • Engineering

    Record a delivery provider event on the spot

    Log a Novu delivery provider activity event while investigating an incident so the timeline in Novu matches what the on-call engineer saw.

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Novu

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

Longer take: Zapier MCP alternative and when you don't need an MCP gateway.

Novu tools for your AI agents

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect Novu to Claude?

Connect Novu in Elaichi first, which means pasting a Novu API key when asked. Novu has no OAuth application to register, so there is no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Novu is available in Claude.

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

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

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

An agent can list, look up, create, update, and remove Novu channel connections, channel endpoints, and contexts, and it can manage sending domains, including verifying a domain, diagnosing why verification failed, and fetching auto configure details. It can also record delivery provider activity events. Because Novu exposes a lot of actions, short concrete asks like "verify the acme.com domain" get better results than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Novu give the AI access to my whole workspace?

No. Everything the agent does in Novu runs inside the access of the API key the person connected, so it can reach only what that key can reach. Elaichi can narrow that further by turning off individual actions, and it can never widen what Novu itself allows.

Can my team share one Novu connection?

Yes. One person connects Novu in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the Novu API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records exactly who verified a domain or deleted a channel endpoint.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow listing and looking up Novu channel connections, endpoints, contexts, and domains while restricting the actions that update or delete them. 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 Novu connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Novu through every client at once. If they had shared a Novu connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want Novu gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client.

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

Yes. Novu 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 Novu?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Novu?

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

Put Novu in front of your team

14 days of Black, no credit card. Connect it once and pick what each team can call.

When the trial ends, nothing is deleted. You move to the free Personal plan, and connections, roles and the audit log stay where they are.
