FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Aleph to Claude?
Connect Aleph in Elaichi first, where you sign in to Aleph over OAuth and approve access as yourself. 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 asks you to sign in to Elaichi, and Aleph is available in your next conversation.
Does Aleph work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. The Aleph connection you set up in Elaichi is reached through the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Aleph once and every client uses it.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Aleph data?
An agent can list and open your Aleph tables, search for values inside them, read and update blocks, read and update dashboards, kick off a refresh of a connected data source, and change pass-through columns on a table. In practice that means asking why a line moved, checking a forecast against bookings, or refreshing actuals after close. Short, concrete asks such as find the Q3 opex table work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Aleph give the AI access to every model and dashboard?
No. Every call through Elaichi runs as the person who signed in to Aleph, so the agent sees only the tables, blocks and dashboards that person already has. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Aleph grants.
Can I stop an agent from changing blocks or triggering refreshes in Aleph?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Aleph tables and dashboards while blocking changes to blocks, dashboards or pass-through columns, or blocking refreshes. A restricted action is never advertised to the AI client at all, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to an Aleph connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Aleph through every client at once. If they had shared their Aleph connection with a team, the connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Aleph once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
Does the Aleph MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Aleph 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 Aleph?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Aleph. 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 Aleph call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Aleph?
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 Aleph: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
