E Signature
Penneo MCP connector
The Penneo connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent create casefiles, build and publish forms, and read submissions and answers in Penneo, with every action running as the signed-in person and recorded in an audit log.

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 Penneo to Claude?
Connect Penneo in Elaichi first, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Penneo connects over OAuth, but Penneo requires the customer to register an OAuth application inside Penneo themselves, so one person enters that client ID and secret in Elaichi once. After that, everyone else simply signs in to Penneo in a normal browser window when Claude first asks.
Does Penneo work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Penneo is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, is pasted into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other MCP client. The Elaichi Agent uses it too, so nobody sets Penneo up twice.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Penneo data?
With Penneo connected, an agent can create a casefile for a document that needs signing, list the files and answers on a casefile, and build, update, publish, archive or restore forms. It can also send a form request to someone and read back the submissions and answers they return, so you can ask questions like who has not yet filled in the onboarding form.
Does connecting Penneo give the AI access to all my casefiles and forms?
No. Every call to Penneo runs as the person who signed in, so the AI sees only the casefiles and forms that person could already open in Penneo. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example by hiding delete actions, but it can never grant more than the person already has.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Penneo?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Penneo submissions while blocking form deletion or version changes. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Penneo connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Penneo through every client at once. A Penneo connection shared with a team keeps working for everyone else. If you want Penneo gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent together.
