What teams do with TOPdesk through Elaichi

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

  • IT service desk

    Log an incident from a chat message

    A colleague describes a broken laptop in a message and the agent creates the TOPdesk incident with the right caller, category, and description, so nothing waits for someone to open a form.

  • IT service desk

    Catch an incident up after a call

    After a phone call with the caller, update the TOPdesk incident with what was tried, change its status, and attach the screenshot they sent, in one ask.

  • Facilities

    Escalate stalled requests to the right level

    Ask which facilities incidents have been open longest and escalate the ones that are overdue, or de-escalate a ticket that turned out to be minor.

  • Support

    Find every incident about the same problem

    When a printer, building, or application keeps coming up, list the open TOPdesk incidents that mention it and get a summary of what callers are reporting.

  • HR

    Handle onboarding requests without leaving the conversation

    Create the TOPdesk incident for a new starter's access request, check on it later by number, and pull down the signed form attached to it when payroll asks.

  • Operations

    Clean up the incident backlog

    Archive TOPdesk incidents that have been resolved for months, unarchive one when a caller reopens the case, and remove attachments that should no longer be kept on a ticket.

Try asking

  • “Show open TOPdesk incidents escalated this week.”
  • “Create a TOPdesk incident for the printer outage.”
  • “Which TOPdesk incidents were archived yesterday, and by whom?”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for TOPdesk

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect TOPdesk to Claude?

First connect TOPdesk in Elaichi, which asks for a TOPdesk API key, the application password you create for your own TOPdesk operator account. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs you in through Elaichi and TOPdesk incidents are available in your next conversation.

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

Yes. TOPdesk is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, is added to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. Each person signs in as themselves in whichever client they use, and the same restrictions and audit log apply everywhere.

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

An agent can list your TOPdesk incidents, open one by its ID or incident number, create a new incident, and update an existing one with notes, status, or a new category. It can escalate or de-escalate an incident, archive and unarchive it, and add, download, or remove attachments such as screenshots and forms. Because TOPdesk exposes hundreds of actions, short concrete asks like "escalate incident I-2403-118" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting TOPdesk give the AI access to every incident?

No. Every request runs inside the TOPdesk access of the person who signed in, so an agent sees only the incidents, operator groups, and attachments that person can already open in TOPdesk. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading incidents only, but it can never grant more than TOPdesk itself allows that person.

Can my team share one TOPdesk connection?

Yes. One person connects TOPdesk in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the TOPdesk API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every incident created or updated is logged under the name of the person who asked for it, not the person who connected TOPdesk.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading and creating TOPdesk incidents while restricting updates, archiving, or deleting attachments. 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 TOPdesk connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to TOPdesk through every client at once, with no clean-up needed in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, or Microsoft Copilot. If they had shared a TOPdesk connection with a team, that connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting TOPdesk once in Elaichi removes it from every client for the whole organization.

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

Yes. TOPdesk 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 TOPdesk?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for TOPdesk?

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