ShareFile MCP connector
The ShareFile connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or the Elaichi Agent find, download, share, and organize the files and folders in your ShareFile account, with each person signed in as themselves and every action logged.
-
How it connects. Connects over OAuth. 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.
How to connect
How to connect ShareFile to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Two steps, about a minute.
In Elaichi
Connect ShareFile once
-
Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick ShareFile.
-
Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.
-
Supply your own ShareFile app, then approve. ShareFile needs an OAuth app you register yourself, so bring its client ID and secret. One person does this once for the organization.
The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.
