Jamf MCP connector

The Jamf connector brings your Macs, iPhones, iPads, users and admin accounts into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can look up, enroll and update managed devices in plain language.

  • How it connects. App credentials. 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 Jamf to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect Jamf once

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

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

  3. Paste your Jamf app credentials. Jamf authenticates the app rather than a person. One person supplies the credentials once, and everyone else works through Share with.

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Jamf to Claude?

Open Elaichi, choose Jamf from the connector catalog, and sign in with your Jamf app credentials. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi as yourself, and your Jamf devices, users and accounts are available from then on.

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

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

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

With Jamf connected, an agent can list and search your managed Macs, iPhones and iPads, look up a single device by its ID, and update inventory details like owner or location. It can also create and update Jamf users, review which apps are deployed to mobile devices, and manage the admin accounts that sign in to Jamf itself. In practice that means asking questions like which devices a person has, or which machines have not reported in, and getting an answer from live Jamf records.

Does connecting Jamf give the AI access to every device in my Jamf instance?

No. Every call to Jamf runs inside the access of the person who signed in, so an agent can only see and change the devices, users and accounts that person could already reach in Jamf. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to read-only or to a subset of actions, but it can never widen it beyond what Jamf itself allows that person.

Can my team share one Jamf connection?

Yes. One administrator connects Jamf in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Jamf app credentials. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so when someone updates a device record or removes a user, the audit log names that person rather than the shared connection.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow looking up devices and users in Jamf while blocking deletes or edits entirely. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Jamf connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Jamf through every client at once, with no separate step in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. If they were using a shared Jamf connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want Jamf gone completely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from every client at the same time.

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

Yes. Jamf 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 Jamf?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Jamf?

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