Beamer MCP connector

The Beamer connector brings changelog posts, comments, reactions, and feature requests into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client, so your team can draft announcements and review customer feedback while signed in as themselves.

  • 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 Beamer to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect Beamer once

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

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

  3. Paste a Beamer API key. One person generates a token in Beamer 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.

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

A schedule fires, Beamer work runs itself.

Records are fetched, grouped, drafted into a digest, approved by a person, then posted back to Beamer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Beamer to Claude?

It takes two steps. In Elaichi, choose Beamer and paste the API key from your Beamer settings; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi, and your Beamer posts and feature requests are available from that point.

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

Yes. Once Beamer is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Beamer once and every client picks it up.

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

An agent can read and write the things you already handle in Beamer: list and draft changelog posts, edit or remove a post, read and add comments and reactions, check what is unread, and create or update feature requests. Because Beamer offers many actions, the agent searches for the right one as you go, so short concrete asks such as "draft a post about the new export option" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Beamer give the AI everything in my Beamer account?

No. Every call to Beamer runs inside the access of the person who signed in, so an agent can only see and change the posts, comments, and feature requests that person could reach in Beamer themselves. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, and it can never widen it.

Can my team share one Beamer connection?

Yes. One person connects Beamer in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Beamer API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every post or feature request they touch is recorded in the audit log under their own name.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Beamer posts and feature requests while blocking deleting a post, removing a comment, or editing a published announcement. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Beamer connection when someone leaves?

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

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

Yes. Beamer 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 Beamer?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Beamer?

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