SkuVault MCP connector

The SkuVault connector brings your products, kits, lots and warehouse stock levels into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent, so your team can ask about inventory and update product records in plain language.

  • 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 SkuVault to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

In Elaichi

Connect SkuVault once

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

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

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

Use cases

What teams do with SkuVault through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Warehouse

    Check stock by warehouse before promising a ship date

    Ask how many units of a SKU are on hand and available in each SkuVault warehouse, and which bin locations hold them, before telling a customer when an order can go out.

  • Operations

    Find low or empty stock across locations

    Pull available quantities for a brand or classification and get a list of SKUs that are running down, so reorders happen before a listing goes dark.

  • Ecommerce

    Add a new product without opening SkuVault

    Describe the SKU, brand, classification and description in a chat and have the product created in SkuVault, then fix a typo in the title or update a cost the same way.

  • Purchasing

    Log incoming lots as they arrive

    Record a new lot for a received shipment and see which lots sit in which locations, so expiry and batch questions can be answered in seconds.

  • Operations

    Keep external warehouse counts current

    Push updated quantities for a 3PL or overflow warehouse into SkuVault in one go instead of editing counts line by line.

  • Customer service

    Answer a bundle availability question on the spot

    Ask how many of a kit can be built from the components in stock, and see which kits exist, while the customer is still on the line.

Try asking

  • “What are the current available quantities for warehouse East?”
  • “Which SKUs are low across all external warehouses this week?”
  • “List inventory lots by location for our main warehouse.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect SkuVault to Claude?

First connect SkuVault in Elaichi, which asks you for a SkuVault API key and nothing else. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the address. There is no OAuth application to register in SkuVault and no client ID or secret to generate, so the whole thing takes a few minutes.

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

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

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

It can look up on-hand and available quantities for any SKU, break them down by warehouse and by location, check how many of a kit you can build, and list the lots sitting in a location. It can also create and update products, create kits and lots, and push quantity updates to your external warehouses in SkuVault. Short, concrete asks like "available stock for SKU 4412 in the Reno warehouse" get better results than long paragraphs.

Does connecting SkuVault give the AI access to every warehouse and product?

The AI only sees what the SkuVault account behind the connection can see, so if that account covers all warehouses, so does the connection. Elaichi can then narrow that further, for example to read-only stock lookups for one team, but it can never grant more than the SkuVault account itself allows.

Can my team share one SkuVault connection?

Yes. One person connects SkuVault in Elaichi and shares it with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every stock lookup or product change in SkuVault is logged under the name of the person who made it.

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

Yes. In Elaichi you can allow or block each SkuVault action separately, for example allowing stock and product lookups while blocking product updates and quantity changes. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a SkuVault connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to SkuVault through every client at once, with nothing to revoke inside SkuVault itself. If they were using a shared SkuVault connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want the connection gone entirely, disconnecting SkuVault once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.

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

Yes. SkuVault 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 SkuVault?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for SkuVault?

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