Groove MCP connector

The Groove connector brings your help desk tickets, customer conversations, mailboxes, agents, groups, and knowledge bases to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, where each person works inside their own Groove access and every action is logged.

  • How it connects. Connects over OAuth. 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 Groove to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect Groove once

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

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

  3. Supply your own Groove app, then approve. Groove needs an OAuth app you register yourself, so bring its client ID and secret. One person does this once for the organization.

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Groove to Claude?

Connecting Groove to Claude takes two steps. First, connect Groove in Elaichi: because Groove connects over OAuth, you register an OAuth application inside your Groove account, paste its client ID and secret into Elaichi once, and then sign in to Groove as yourself. Second, in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. That is the same address for every Elaichi customer, and Groove is ready once you have signed in.

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

Yes. Once Groove 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 Groove once and every client you use picks it up.

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

An AI agent connected to Groove can look up tickets and read the messages on them, create new tickets and send replies, find a customer and update their details, and check ticket counts across your mailboxes and folders. It can also list your agents, create and change groups, and create, rename, or remove knowledge bases. Because Groove has a large set of actions, short concrete asks such as "show me open tickets in the billing mailbox" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Groove give the AI access to every mailbox?

No. Access to Groove follows the person who signed in, so the AI can only see the mailboxes, tickets, and customers that person can already see in Groove. Elaichi can narrow that further by turning off individual actions for a team, but it can never widen it beyond what the person's own Groove permissions allow.

Can my team share one Groove connection?

Yes. One person connects Groove in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Groove client ID, secret, or password. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every ticket reply or customer update in the audit log is recorded under the name of the person who made it.

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

Yes. In Elaichi, restrictions apply per action, so you can allow reading and replying to Groove tickets while blocking deleting groups or knowledge bases, or updating customer records. 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 a Groove connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Groove through every client ends at once. If they had shared a Groove connection with a team, that connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Groove once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client in one step.

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

Yes. Groove 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 Groove?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Groove?

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