Questions, answered
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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 restricting deletion of contacts, individuals or notes. 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 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, Microsoft Copilot and every other connected client.
Does the Virtuous MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Virtuous 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 Virtuous?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Virtuous. 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 Virtuous call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Virtuous?
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 Virtuous: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
Put Virtuous in front of your team
