FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect HappyFox to Claude?
First, connect HappyFox in Elaichi by pasting in a HappyFox API key from your helpdesk 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 the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi as yourself, and HappyFox is ready.
Does HappyFox work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once HappyFox 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 HappyFox once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my HappyFox data?
This HappyFox connector does one thing: it posts a reply on a HappyFox ticket. You tell the agent which ticket and what you want to say, it drafts the wording if you ask, and the reply appears on the ticket in HappyFox. It does not read, search, assign, or close tickets, so it is a way to get replies out faster rather than a full helpdesk assistant.
Does connecting HappyFox give the AI everything in my helpdesk?
No. Every reply is posted using the HappyFox access of the person who signed in, so the agent can only reply on tickets that person could reply on in HappyFox. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never grant more than the person already has in HappyFox.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in HappyFox?
This HappyFox connector cannot delete or edit anything; its only action is posting a reply on a ticket. If you want to block even that for some people, restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, and a blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to a HappyFox connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their ability to post replies to HappyFox through any AI client ends at once. A HappyFox connection they shared with a team keeps working for everyone else. If you want HappyFox gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.
Does the HappyFox MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. HappyFox 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 HappyFox?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use HappyFox. 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 HappyFox call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for HappyFox?
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 HappyFox: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
