## How to connect Elicit

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Elicit. You sign in to Elicit in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Elicit from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Elicit isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Elicit MCP server URL?

Elicit, inc. publishes it at https://elicit.com/api/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Elicit MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Elicit?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Elicit, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Elicit before I ask?

No. If a request needs Elicit and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Elicit?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Elicit tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Elicit adds later stay off until you turn them on.
