Attio MCP connector

Connecting Attio to Elaichi lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client look up and update Attio companies, people and deals through one shared Attio API key, with every change recorded in an audit log under the person who asked for it.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect Attio to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect Attio once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Attio.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste an Attio API key. One person generates a token in Attio and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Attio to Claude?

First connect Attio inside Elaichi: an admin generates an API key in Attio and pastes it once. Second, in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi and Attio is then available in your chats.

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

Yes. Once Attio is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Attio once and use it everywhere, and each client sees the same permissions and writes to the same audit log.

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

With Attio connected, an AI can look up companies, people and deals, read any attribute your team tracks on them, and create or update records when you ask. It can add a new person and company after an intro, move a deal to a new stage, fill in missing fields, or find records that match a description. Attio has a lot of actions, so short concrete asks like "update the Acme deal to proposal stage" work better than long instructions.

Does connecting Attio give the AI access to my whole workspace?

Only if the API key does. Every request to Attio uses the key your admin pasted, so the AI can see and change what that key can, and nothing more. Create the key in Attio with only the access your team needs. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to read-only or to companies and people but not deals, and it can never widen it beyond what the key allows.

Can my team share one Attio connection?

Yes. One admin connects Attio in Elaichi with an API key and shares the connection with a team, so nobody else has to handle the key. Each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log shows who created, changed or deleted each Attio record.

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

Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict individual actions on the Attio connection, such as blocking deletion of companies, people or deals, or allowing reads only. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client at all, so no prompt, accidental or otherwise, can reach it.

What happens to an Attio connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Attio through every AI client ends at once. A shared Attio connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want to remove Attio entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.

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

Yes. Attio 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, 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 Attio?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Attio?

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