| Tools advertised by name | No. 86 tools is past the 30-tool threshold, so clients use `search_tools` and `execute_tool` |

## What you can ask once Vapi is connected

- Which Vapi assistants handled the most calls this week?
- Show me yesterday's failed Vapi calls by assistant.
- List every Vapi squad and the assistants inside it.

## Connect Vapi in Elaichi

This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved.

1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Vapi.
2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect.
3. Paste a Vapi API key. One person generates a token in Vapi and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

Credentials are vaulted and nobody, including the AI, reads them back. The connection becomes a toolbox immediately, so you can curate which Vapi tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it.

## Connect Vapi to Claude

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

1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
2. Press Add.
3. Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.
4. Sign in and approve.

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

## Connect Vapi to ChatGPT

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

1. Open Plugins, then press the + button.
2. Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL.
3. Leave Authentication on OAuth, then tick the risk acknowledgement.
4. Press Create, then sign in and approve.

Works on the web today. The plugin directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins.

## Connect Vapi to Cursor

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

1. Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.
2. Add the endpoint under `mcpServers`.
3. Reload Cursor, then sign in and approve.

Set up per machine, so repeat it on each computer you work from.

## Connect Vapi to any MCP client

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

1. Add the endpoint as a remote MCP server.
2. Sign in and approve.

The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up.

## What the consent screen decides

Only Read is granted by default, which is not enough to call a Vapi tool. Over MCP there is no trusted place to confirm a write in the moment, so the consent screen is the standing approval rather than a formality. Grant Read and Run tools. Think hard before granting Delete, which reaches into connected apps and cannot be undone.

## What teams do with Vapi through Elaichi

### Find out why a call went badly

Support. When a customer complains about a voice assistant, pull up that Vapi call, its log and its recording in one ask and see what was said and where it went wrong.

### Start outbound calls from a lead list

Sales. Hand the agent a list of numbers and the assistant to use, and it places the Vapi calls, then reports back which ones connected.

### Change an assistant's script the same day

Operations. Ask for the greeting, voice or instructions on a Vapi assistant to be updated, and the change is live without opening the dashboard.

### Review yesterday's recordings in one pass

Quality. List the day's Vapi recordings and call logs, have them summarized, and flag the calls where the assistant stumbled or a caller hung up early.

### Build a test assistant and add it to a squad

Product. Create a new Vapi assistant, put it in a squad alongside the current one, and run a few calls to compare how each handles the same request.

### Check how a calling campaign is doing

Marketing. Ask how many Vapi calls a campaign assistant made this week, how long they ran, and which ones ended with the caller asking to be called back.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I connect Vapi to Claude?

Connect Vapi in Elaichi first, which asks only for your Vapi API key, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register in Vapi and no client ID or secret to generate. Once the endpoint is in place, Claude signs in through Elaichi and your Vapi assistants, calls and recordings are available.

### Does Vapi work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. You connect Vapi once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. Each client signs in with the same account and sees the same Vapi connection.

### What can an AI agent actually do with my Vapi data?

An agent connected to Vapi can list and look up your assistants, squads, calls, recordings, call logs and chats, place new calls, start chats, and create, update or delete assistants and squads. In practice that means asking for the recording of a specific call, changing an assistant's greeting, or summarizing yesterday's call logs. Because Vapi has many capabilities, short concrete asks such as "show me the calls from today" work better than long instructions.

### Does connecting Vapi give the AI everything in my Vapi account?

The AI sees only what the person who signed in can see in Vapi, because every call runs under that person's own access. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading calls and recordings without changing assistants, but it can never widen what Vapi itself allows.

### Can my team share one Vapi connection?

Yes. One person connects Vapi with the API key, shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else on the team ever sees or handles that key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the person who placed a Vapi call or changed an assistant.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow listing Vapi calls and recordings while blocking the deletion of assistants, squads or calls. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

### What happens to a Vapi connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding the person in Elaichi ends their access to Vapi through every client at once. If they connected a shared Vapi account, the connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Vapi once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
