Can my team share one Membes connection?

Yes. One person connects Membes in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Membes API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records exactly who looked up a profile or registered a member, even through a shared Membes connection.

CRM

Membes MCP connector

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Membes to Claude?

There are two steps. First, connect Membes in Elaichi by pasting your Membes API key when prompted; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in to Elaichi and Membes is ready to use in Claude.

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

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

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

With Membes connected, an agent can find a member's profile, see their event history and past interactions, create or update a profile, and log a new interaction. It can list events in a date range, create events and their registration types, register a member, and update an existing registration. It can also read your groups, forum topics, and replies, and list your membership types and custom fields. Because Membes has many actions available, short and specific asks such as "find the profile for Jane Lee" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Membes give the AI everything in my membership database?

No. The AI only sees what the Membes account that was connected can see, and every request runs as the person who signed in to Elaichi. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to reading profiles but not creating events, but it can never widen it beyond what Membes itself allows that account.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi are set per action, so you can allow reading Membes profiles and events while blocking anything that creates or updates them. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Membes connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Membes through every client ends at once. If they had shared a Membes connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want to remove Membes entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time.

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

Yes. Membes 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 Membes?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Membes?

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