Questions, answered
How do I connect Wati to Claude?
Connect Wati in Elaichi first, which asks for the API key from your Wati account and nothing else. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and your Wati contacts, broadcasts and chatbots are available in the chat.
Does Wati work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Wati is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Wati once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Wati data?
With Wati connected, an agent can look up or create contacts, update their attributes one at a time or in bulk, assign contacts to teams, and start a chatbot for a customer. It can also review your broadcasts, pull the overview and recipient list for one, estimate what a broadcast will cost, turn on automatic retry, check remaining credits, and list your channels and what they are allowed to do. Wati has a large set of actions, so short concrete asks like "show me yesterday's broadcast overview" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Wati give the AI access to my whole account?
Access to Wati follows the person who signed in and the key they connected with, so the agent can only reach the contacts, broadcasts and channels that person can already reach in Wati. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading contacts but not deleting them, and it never widens it. Nothing becomes reachable through Elaichi that was not reachable in Wati already.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Wati?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Wati contacts and broadcasts while restricting deleting contacts, editing attributes or starting chatbots. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a Wati connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Wati at once, in every client they had connected. If they were using a shared Wati connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove Wati entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client together.
Does the Wati MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Wati 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 Wati?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Wati. 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 Wati call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Wati?
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 Wati: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
