Questions, answered
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, Microsoft Copilot 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 restricting 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 restricting form deletion or version changes. 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 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, Microsoft Copilot and the Elaichi Agent together.
Does the Penneo MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Penneo 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 Penneo?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Penneo. 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 Penneo call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Penneo?
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 Penneo: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
