What teams do with OneDrive through Elaichi

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

  • Sales

    Find the right proposal before a call

    Ask for the latest pricing deck or proposal for an account and get the file from OneDrive without hunting through folders. Pull the key points into your notes while the call is still fresh.

  • Support

    Pull the answer out of a guide

    Search OneDrive for the setup guide or troubleshooting document a customer needs and read the relevant section back in plain language. Reply with the exact steps instead of a link to a folder.

  • Operations

    Check who can see a shared folder

    Look up the sharing on a vendor contract or process document and see which people and links have access. Spot files that are shared wider than they should be before an audit does.

  • Finance

    Locate last quarter's spreadsheets fast

    Search across OneDrive for budget files, invoices, and reconciliations by name or content and open the version you need. Summarize the totals from a spreadsheet without downloading it yourself.

  • HR

    Gather onboarding documents for a new hire

    List the policy handbooks, benefits summaries, and forms sitting in the HR drive and pull together what a new starter needs. Confirm each file is current before sending it on.

  • Legal

    Read a contract clause on demand

    Find a signed agreement in OneDrive by counterparty and have the renewal, termination, or liability clause read back to you. Compare the wording across several agreements in one sitting.

Try asking

  • “List files added to the Contracts folder this week.”
  • “Who has permissions on the FY25 Budget workbook?”
  • “Search OneDrive for the latest vendor onboarding deck.”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for OneDrive

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect OneDrive to Claude?

First connect OneDrive in Elaichi, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. OneDrive connects over OAuth, but it needs an app registration created once inside your Microsoft account, so an administrator brings that client ID and secret to Elaichi a single time. After that, each person simply signs in to their Microsoft account in the browser and nobody else ever handles a key.

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

Yes. Once OneDrive is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect OneDrive once and every client picks it up.

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

With OneDrive connected, an agent can list your drives and folders, search files by name or content, open a document and read or summarize it, and download a file when you ask for it. It can also look up which people in your organization have access to a file and who the users in your OneDrive are. This connector reads from OneDrive; it does not create, edit, move, or delete files.

Does connecting OneDrive give the AI access to every file in the company?

No. Every request to OneDrive runs as the person who signed in, so the agent can only see the drives, folders, and shared files that person can already open in OneDrive. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example limiting a team to search and read only, but it can never widen access beyond what OneDrive already grants.

Can my team share one OneDrive connection?

Yes. One person sets up the OneDrive connection in Elaichi, including the one-time app registration, and shares it with a team so nobody else handles a client ID or secret. Each teammate still signs in to OneDrive as themselves, so their access stays their own and the audit log names the actual person behind every file opened.

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

This OneDrive connector only browses, searches, reads, and downloads, so there are no delete or edit actions for an agent to reach in the first place. On top of that, Elaichi restrictions work per action, so you can also switch off downloads or permission lookups for a given role. 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 OneDrive connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to OneDrive through every connected client ends immediately. A shared OneDrive connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want to remove OneDrive entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client at the same time.

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

Yes. OneDrive 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 OneDrive?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for OneDrive?

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