Zoho Bigin MCP connector

The Zoho Bigin connector brings your Zoho Bigin users, roles, profiles and organization details into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can review who has access and tidy up seats by asking in plain language.

  • How it connects. Connects over OAuth. 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Zoho Bigin to Claude?

Connect Zoho Bigin in Elaichi first: pick it from the list and sign in to your Zoho account with the usual Zoho login screen, then approve access. 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 https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi, and Zoho Bigin is ready.

Does Zoho Bigin work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Zoho Bigin 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 Zoho Bigin once and every client sees it.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Zoho Bigin data?

With this connector an agent can list the users in your Zoho Bigin account, look up a single user, and remove a user who should no longer have access. It can also read your organization details, confirm which Zoho Bigin user you are signed in as, and list the roles and profiles that control what people can see and do. It is built for managing who is in Zoho Bigin rather than editing deals or contacts.

Does connecting Zoho Bigin give the AI everything in my account?

No. Every request to Zoho Bigin runs as the person who signed in, so an agent can only see the users, roles and profiles that person's own Zoho Bigin permissions allow. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example by hiding the ability to remove users, but it can never grant more than the person already has in Zoho Bigin.

Can my team share one Zoho Bigin connection?

Yes. One admin connects Zoho Bigin in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else has to handle a Zoho password or credential. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records who looked up or removed a Zoho Bigin user, not just that the shared connection was used.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow listing Zoho Bigin users, roles and profiles while blocking the ability to remove a user. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client at all, so no prompt, accidental or otherwise, can reach it.

What happens to a Zoho Bigin connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Zoho Bigin through every client at once. If they connected Zoho Bigin and shared it, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. When you want it gone completely, disconnecting Zoho Bigin once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.

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

Yes. Zoho Bigin 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 Zoho Bigin?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Zoho Bigin. 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 Zoho Bigin call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Zoho Bigin?

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