Use cases
What teams do with DualEntry through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Accounts receivable
Draft the invoice as the deal closes
Ask for a new DualEntry invoice for a customer with the agreed lines and due date, then attach the signed quote before it goes out. The invoice appears in DualEntry the same way it would if someone had typed it in.
-
Accounts payable
Log a supplier bill from your inbox
Paste the details of a vendor bill and have it entered in DualEntry with the PDF attached. Fix a wrong amount or date later with a short correction instead of reopening the whole record.
-
Finance
Post month-end journal entries faster
Describe the accrual or reclass you need and have the journal entry created in DualEntry, with the supporting spreadsheet attached. Review the entry by ID before anyone closes the period.
-
Sales
Turn a confirmed order into a sales order
Once a customer says yes, create the DualEntry sales order from the chat where you already have the details. Update quantities or shipping notes when the customer changes their mind.
-
Controller
Answer what is outstanding right now
Ask which DualEntry invoices are still open past due, or which bills are due this week, and get the list from live records rather than last Friday's export.
-
Operations
Keep documents attached to the right record
Ask the agent to attach the delivery note to a sales order or replace an outdated attachment on an invoice, so the paperwork lives on the DualEntry record where auditors expect it.
Try asking
- “Show me open invoices past due this month.”
- “Draft a sales order for our largest customer.”
- “List unpaid bills by vendor for this quarter.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect DualEntry to Claude?
Connecting DualEntry to Claude takes two steps. In Elaichi, add the DualEntry connector and paste in your DualEntry API key, which is the only sign-in step; 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 the Elaichi endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and DualEntry invoices, bills, sales orders and journal entries are available in the conversation.
Does DualEntry work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once DualEntry 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 DualEntry once and every client your team uses picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my DualEntry data?
With DualEntry connected, an agent can list and look up invoices, bills, sales orders and journal entries, create new ones, update or correct existing ones, and attach documents such as a signed quote or a supplier PDF to a record. Because DualEntry exposes a large number of actions, the agent searches for the right one as you ask, so short concrete requests like "create a bill for Acme for 1,200 due May 30" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting DualEntry give the AI access to everything in my books?
No. Every request to DualEntry runs inside the access of the person who signed in to Elaichi, so an agent sees and changes only what that person could already see and change in DualEntry. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading only, and it never widens it beyond what DualEntry itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in DualEntry?
Yes. In Elaichi you set restrictions on the DualEntry connector per action, so you can allow reading invoices and bills while blocking creating or updating journal entries, for example. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a DualEntry connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to DualEntry through Elaichi ends at once, across every client they used. A DualEntry connection that was shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want to remove DualEntry entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other connected client.
Does the DualEntry MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. DualEntry 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 DualEntry?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use DualEntry. 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 DualEntry call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for DualEntry?
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 DualEntry: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
