How to connect Stax.ai to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot

Step by step, for each AI app

Stax.ai MCP connector for Claude

  1. 1

    Open Customize, then Connectors.

  2. 2

    Press Add.

  3. 3

    Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in and approve.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves.

What teams do with Stax.ai through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Stax.ai is logged.

  • Accounting

    File the month's paperwork into stacks

    Ask for the invoices and statements that came in this month and have them moved into the right client stack, with duplicates flagged before anything is filed twice.

  • Retirement plan administration

    Set up a new TPA plan record

    When a new plan client signs, create the TPA plan in Stax.ai and check the existing plan records so nothing is entered twice.

  • Operations

    Check what processing is still running

    See which document jobs are in progress and which finished, so you know when a batch is ready for review.

  • Compliance

    Pull a document out of the archive

    Search archived documents for a specific plan year or client, restore the one an auditor asked for, and download it for the response.

  • Client services

    Find what a client sent this week

    List recently added documents for a client, open the one they are asking about, and confirm which stack it landed in.

  • Office administration

    Clean up stacks after a project closes

    Archive the documents in a finished stack, copy anything that belongs elsewhere, and update the stack name so the workspace stays tidy.

Try asking

  • “List the stacks with documents added this week.”
  • “How many documents sit in the Payables stack?”
  • “Move last month's invoices into the Archive stack.”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Stax.ai

All three can connect Stax.ai 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 Stax.ai, 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 Stax.ai tools Allow or restrict single Stax.ai 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 Stax.ai 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.

Stax.ai tools for your AI agents

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect Stax.ai to Claude?

Connect Stax.ai in Elaichi by pasting your Stax.ai API key when asked, then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Once both steps are done, Claude can work with your Stax.ai stacks, documents, and TPA plans.

Does Stax.ai work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Stax.ai is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Stax.ai once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Stax.ai data?

An agent connected to Stax.ai can list and open your stacks and documents, upload new files, move or copy documents between stacks, archive and restore them, download a file you need, and find duplicates or recently added paperwork. It can also look up, create, and update TPA plans and check on document jobs still processing. Short, concrete asks such as "find last month's statements for Acme" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Stax.ai give the AI access to every stack and document?

No. Access follows the person who signed in, so the AI only sees the Stax.ai stacks, documents, and TPA plans that person's own Stax.ai access allows. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what the person already has.

Can my team share one Stax.ai connection?

Yes. One person connects Stax.ai in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person who moved a document or created a TPA plan.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Stax.ai?

Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict individual actions for Stax.ai, such as deleting documents, deleting stacks, or updating TPA plans, while leaving reading and filing allowed. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a Stax.ai connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Stax.ai through every client at once. A shared Stax.ai connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove Stax.ai entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client.

Does the Stax.ai MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Stax.ai 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 Stax.ai?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Stax.ai. 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 Stax.ai call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Stax.ai?

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