For IT and engineering

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Proliant

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

Proliant tools for your AI agents

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect Proliant to Claude?

Connect Proliant in Elaichi first: Proliant connects with an API key, so you paste the key from your Proliant account into Elaichi and the connection is live. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate, and the whole thing takes a few minutes.

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

Yes. Once Proliant 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 Proliant once and every client picks it up.

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

It can look up companies, employees, dependents, pay rates and accrual balances in Proliant, and answer questions about them in plain language. It can also create a new employee, add a dependent, change or bulk update pay rates, and adjust accruals when you ask. Short, concrete asks such as "show Maria's current pay rates" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Proliant give the AI access to every employee and company?

No. Every call runs as the person who signed in, so the AI sees only the Proliant companies and employee records that person's access already allows. Elaichi can narrow that further for a role, but it never widens what someone could see in Proliant on their own.

Can my team share one Proliant connection?

Yes. One administrator connects Proliant with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in as themselves, so the audit log names the person who looked up or changed a Proliant record, not a shared account.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading employees and rates while restricting the actions that delete an employee or change a pay rate in Proliant. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a Proliant connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Proliant through every client at once. A shared Proliant connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you disconnect Proliant in Elaichi, it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and the Elaichi Agent in one step.

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

Yes. Proliant 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 Proliant?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Proliant?

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

Put Proliant in front of your team

14 days of Black, no credit card. Connect it once and pick what each team can call.
