How to connect O'Reilly to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot

Step by step, for each AI app

O'Reilly MCP connector for Claude

  1. 1

    Open Customize, then Connectors.

  2. 2

    Press Add.

  3. 3

    Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in and approve.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves.

O'Reilly MCP connector for Claude Code

  1. 1

    In a terminal, run claude mcp add with the endpoint.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  2. 2

    Start Claude Code and run /mcp.

  3. 3

    Pick elaichi, then sign in and approve in the browser.

Terminal

$ claude mcp add --transport http elaichi --scope user https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

Use --scope project instead to share it with the repository through .mcp.json.

O'Reilly MCP connector for ChatGPT

Server URL
https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
Authentication
OAuth 2.0
Type
Dynamic discovery

Microsoft Copilot was called Microsoft 365 Copilot. Keep the tool on end-user credentials, so each person signs in as themselves.

What teams do with O'Reilly through Elaichi

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

  • People Operations

    Set up a new hire's learning seat

    Create the O'Reilly account for someone starting Monday with their name, work email, and active status, so they can sign in on day one without a ticket to IT.

  • IT

    Remove access the day someone leaves

    Look up a departing employee's O'Reilly account by email and deactivate or delete it as part of the offboarding checklist, then confirm it is gone.

  • Learning and Development

    Find out who actually has a seat

    Pull the full list of O'Reilly users, see who is active, and spot people who were provisioned months ago but never fit the current team roster.

  • IT

    Fix a name or email after a change

    When someone changes their surname or moves to a new email domain, update just that field on their O'Reilly account rather than recreating the whole record.

  • Engineering

    Onboard a whole squad at once

    Give a manager a way to request O'Reilly accounts for six new contractors in one go, with each account created from the list they paste in.

  • Finance

    Reconcile seats before the renewal

    Count active O'Reilly accounts against the seats on the contract, and list the inactive ones so the renewal conversation starts from real numbers.

Try asking

  • “List O'Reilly SCIM users added this month.”
  • “Create an O'Reilly SCIM user for our new analyst.”
  • “Which O'Reilly users are marked inactive right now?”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for O'Reilly

All three can connect O'Reilly 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 O'Reilly, 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 O'Reilly tools Allow or restrict single O'Reilly 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 O'Reilly 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.

O'Reilly tools for your AI agents

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect O'Reilly to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, choose O'Reilly and paste the API key from your O'Reilly admin settings, there is 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 https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in to Elaichi as yourself and O'Reilly appears in Claude.

Does O'Reilly work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once O'Reilly 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 O'Reilly once and use it everywhere you already work.

What can an AI agent actually do with my O'Reilly accounts?

An agent connected through Elaichi can list every O'Reilly user account, look one up by its ID, create an account for a new hire, correct a name or email, mark someone inactive, or delete an account entirely. It can also read the account fields O'Reilly supports so it fills in records correctly. It works with learner accounts, not with course content or reading history.

Does connecting O'Reilly give the AI full admin rights over every account?

No more than the person using it has. The O'Reilly API key sets the outer limit, and each person signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so their role decides which O'Reilly actions they can reach. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to viewing accounts only, but it can never grant more than the O'Reilly key itself allows.

Can my team share one O'Reilly connection?

Yes. One admin connects O'Reilly with the API key and shares the connection with the people team or IT, and nobody else ever sees or handles that key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records exactly who created, changed, or removed each O'Reilly account.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing O'Reilly accounts?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow listing and looking up O'Reilly users while restricting creating, updating, or deleting them. 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 an O'Reilly connection when someone leaves the company?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to O'Reilly through every client at once, without touching the API key or anyone else. A connection they shared with the team keeps working for everyone who remains. If you ever want O'Reilly gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client together.

Does the O'Reilly MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. O'Reilly 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 O'Reilly?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use O'Reilly. 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 O'Reilly call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for O'Reilly?

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

Put O'Reilly 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.
