Payment Gateway
Spreedly MCP connector
The Spreedly connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI clients look up transactions, gateways, environments and card refresher inquiries in Spreedly and act on them through one governed endpoint, with every request logged.

How it connects. Connects with an API key. 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.

Use cases
What teams do with Spreedly through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Payments
Find out why a transaction failed
Ask for a transaction by its Spreedly ID or pull up the most recent ones for a gateway, then read the response message and state without opening the dashboard.
-
Finance
Pull a transaction export for month end
Create a Spreedly export of the period you need and get the file ready for reconciliation, then update a transaction's description or reference when the books need a correction.
-
Engineering
Add a new gateway without a ticket
Create a Spreedly gateway for a new acquirer, check its settings alongside the gateways already in place, and update credentials when the processor rotates them.
-
Support
Check a customer's payment before replying
Look up the transaction a customer is asking about, confirm whether it succeeded, was declined or was refunded, and answer in one message with the facts in front of you.
-
Revenue operations
Refresh expired cards before renewals run
Create a Spreedly card refresher inquiry for stored payment methods that are about to expire and review the inquiries that have come back, so subscription charges stop failing on stale card numbers.
-
Security
Keep certificates and access secrets in order
List the certificates and access secrets in each Spreedly environment, create replacements ahead of expiry and delete secrets that are no longer in use.
Try asking
- “Show all failed Spreedly transactions from yesterday”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Spreedly to Claude?
Two steps. In Elaichi, choose Spreedly and paste in the API key from your Spreedly account, then paste the Elaichi endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, into Claude under Customize, then Connectors, then Add. Spreedly connects with an API key, so there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate.
Does Spreedly work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Spreedly is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, the Elaichi Agent and any other MCP client. You connect Spreedly once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Spreedly account?
It can look up a Spreedly transaction by ID, list recent transactions, create a new one or update its details, and create an export for reconciliation. It can also list, create and update gateways, environments and certificates, manage access secrets, and start card refresher inquiries for stored payment methods. Because Spreedly has many actions, short concrete asks such as "show me yesterday's failed transactions on the Stripe gateway" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Spreedly give the AI every environment and gateway?
No. The connection carries only the access of the Spreedly API key that was used to connect, and each person signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so requests run inside that person's own permissions. Elaichi can narrow what the AI is allowed to do in Spreedly, and it can never widen it beyond what the key already allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Spreedly?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Spreedly transactions and gateways while blocking the ability to create transactions, update gateways or delete access secrets. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to a Spreedly connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Spreedly through every AI client at once. A Spreedly connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove Spreedly entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
