FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Virtuous to Claude?
First connect Virtuous in Elaichi, which asks you to paste the API key from your Virtuous account, and there is no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in to Elaichi when Claude asks, and Virtuous is available in your conversations.
Does Virtuous work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Virtuous is connected in Elaichi, the same https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp endpoint works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Virtuous once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Virtuous data?
With Virtuous connected, an agent can search for a donor, pull up a contact with the individuals in its household, read and add contact notes, list a donor's receipts, and create or update contacts on your behalf. Because Virtuous has a large set of actions, short concrete asks such as "add a note to the Garcia household about today's call" work better than long instructions.
Does connecting Virtuous give the AI everything in my organization?
No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees only the Virtuous contacts, notes and receipts that person's own Virtuous permissions allow. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to reading only, but it can never widen it beyond what Virtuous already grants you.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Virtuous?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow searching and reading Virtuous contacts while blocking deletion of contacts, individuals or notes. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to a Virtuous connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Virtuous through every client at once, and a shared Virtuous connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove Virtuous entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other connected client.
