Connect an AI client to Elastly over MCP

How to connect Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client to your Elastly workspace: turn MCP on, approve access, see what each tool does and revoke it.

Mohamed AshrafNov 4, 2026 · 2 min read

Elastly runs an MCP server, so an AI client such as Claude or ChatGPT can read your workspace's prices, explanations and margin leaks and prepare drafts for you. The client acts as you and sees only what your role can see. It changes nothing live: every draft opens in Elastly for a member to review and apply.

Before you connect

  • A plan with the API

    MCP is part of the API feature.

  • MCP turned on

    A workspace admin turns MCP on in Manage › API. It is off until then.

  • AI processing on

    MCP is available only while AI processing is on for the workspace.

Connect a client

  1. Copy the MCP URL

    Open Manage › API and copy the MCP URL. Each region has its own server, and the URL shown there is the one for your workspace's region.

  2. Add it to your client

    In your AI client, add a remote MCP server or connector and paste the URL.

  3. Sign in and choose a workspace

    The client opens an Elastly page. Sign in, choose the workspace, review the access the client asks for and select Allow.

Server URLs

Workspaces hosted in the EU use this server:

https://eu.mcp.elastly.ai/mcp

Access

  • Read

    With elastly:read the client can search records, explain prices, list what is waiting for you and preview changes.

  • Draft

    With elastly:draft it can also create draft quotes, policy changes, control changes, strategies in Shadow and reports.

  • Never

    It cannot publish, approve, send a quote or write to your ERP.

An admin can limit the workspace to read access. Each connected app can make 60 calls a minute and a workspace 600, and each tool result stays under 25,000 tokens.

Revoke access

Open Manage › API to see the apps connected to the workspace and when each was last used. Revoke an app to refuse its next call. Turning MCP off refuses every app in the workspace.

Common questions

No. Tools read data or create drafts. A member reviews each draft in Elastly and applies it there, through the same approvals as any other change.
