Payment Gateway
Orum MCP connector
The Orum connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent look up, create, and update the people, businesses, bank accounts, and cards you pay through Orum, with every action tied to the person who signed in and recorded in an audit log.
-
How it connects. App credentials. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.
-
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.
-
Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Orum to Claude?
Connecting Orum to Claude takes two steps. First, connect Orum in Elaichi by pasting the app credentials from your Orum dashboard; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the Elaichi endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs you in as yourself and Orum is ready to use.
Does Orum work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Orum is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Orum once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Orum data?
With Orum connected, an agent can find a payee by name, create a new person or business to pay, add or correct their bank account, see which cards are on file, and update many records in one go. Orum has a lot of actions available, so the agent searches for the right one as you ask; short concrete requests like 'update the bank account for Acme Ltd' work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Orum give the AI access to everything in my Orum account?
No. The AI acts inside the access of the person who signed in, so it can only see and change the Orum payees, bank accounts, and cards that person could already reach. Elaichi can narrow that further by blocking specific actions for a team, but it can never grant more than the signed-in person already has in Orum.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Orum?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow looking up Orum payees while blocking deleting a person, a business, or a bank account. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to an Orum connection when someone leaves the company?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Orum through every AI client ends at once. If they had shared an Orum connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you ever want Orum gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.
