Kustomer MCP connector

The Kustomer connector brings your Kustomer customers, conversations, and agents into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client, so your team can look up, create, and update Kustomer records by asking in plain language, inside their own Kustomer access.

  • 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 Kustomer to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect Kustomer once

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Kustomer to Claude?

Connecting Kustomer to Claude takes two steps. First, connect Kustomer in Elaichi by pasting a Kustomer API key when prompted; 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 the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Kustomer is available in your conversations.

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

Yes. Once Kustomer 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 Kustomer once and every client picks it up.

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

An AI agent connected to Kustomer can look up a customer by email, phone number, or external ID, read their record and conversations, and create or update customers and conversations, including in bulk. It can also list the agents in your Kustomer organization and update their details. Because Kustomer offers many actions, short concrete asks such as "find the Kustomer customer with this phone number" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Kustomer give the AI everything in my Kustomer organization?

No. The connection to Kustomer runs with the access of the API key that was connected, and each person using it signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every request is tied to a named person. Elaichi can narrow what the AI is allowed to do with Kustomer, for example read only, and it can never widen access beyond what Kustomer itself permits.

Can my team share one Kustomer connection?

Yes. One person connects Kustomer in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the Kustomer API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records who looked up or changed each Kustomer customer or conversation.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Kustomer customers and conversations while blocking deletion, bulk changes, or any update at all. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Kustomer connection when someone leaves?

When a person is offboarded in Elaichi, their access to Kustomer through every AI client ends at once. A Kustomer connection shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want to remove Kustomer entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client.

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

Yes. Kustomer 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 Kustomer?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Kustomer?

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