# Anthropic MCP connector

The Anthropic connector brings your organization's Anthropic Console into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients, so you can review users, workspaces, API keys, usage, and spend by asking in plain language.

## What you can ask once Anthropic is connected

- Which Anthropic workspaces have no members right now?
- List Anthropic users added to the billing workspace.
- Show workspace members archived in the last 30 days.

## Connect Anthropic in Elaichi

This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved.

1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Anthropic.
2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect.
3. Paste an Anthropic API key. One person generates a token in Anthropic and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

Credentials are vaulted and nobody, including the AI, reads them back. The connection becomes a toolbox immediately, so you can curate which Anthropic tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it.

## Connect Anthropic to Claude

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
2. Press Add.
3. Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.
4. Sign in and approve.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves.

## Connect Anthropic to ChatGPT

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Open Plugins, then press the + button.
2. Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL.
3. Leave Authentication on OAuth, then tick the risk acknowledgement.
4. Press Create, then sign in and approve.

Works on the web today. The plugin directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins.

## Connect Anthropic to Cursor

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.
2. Add the endpoint under `mcpServers`.
3. Reload Cursor, then sign in and approve.

Set up per machine, so repeat it on each computer you work from.

## Connect Anthropic to any MCP client

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Add the endpoint as a remote MCP server.
2. Sign in and approve.

The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up.

## What the consent screen decides

Only Read is granted by default, which is not enough to call a Anthropic tool. Over MCP there is no trusted place to confirm a write in the moment, so the consent screen is the standing approval rather than a formality. Grant Read and Run tools. Think hard before granting Delete, which reaches into connected apps and cannot be undone.

## What teams do with Anthropic through Elaichi

### Pull this month's Anthropic spend by workspace

Finance. Ask for the Anthropic cost report broken down by workspace before the invoice lands. Compare it with last month and flag the team whose spend jumped.

### Invite a new hire and place them

IT. Send the Anthropic organization invite, then add the person to the right workspace with the right role once they accept. No console clicking, no waiting on an admin.

### Offboard someone from Anthropic in one ask

IT. Remove a departing colleague from every Anthropic workspace they belong to and delete their user record. Confirm afterward that nothing is still assigned to them.

### Find API keys nobody has touched

Security. List every Anthropic API key with who created it, which workspace it lives in, and when it was last used. Rename or disable the stale ones on the spot.

### Stand up a workspace for a new project

Engineering. Create an Anthropic workspace, add the engineers who need it, and check the message usage report as the project ramps up. Archive it when the work is done.

### Answer who has access to what

Operations. Ask for every Anthropic user, their organization role, and the workspaces they belong to. Hand the list to an auditor or a manager without exporting anything by hand.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I connect Anthropic to Claude?

Connecting Anthropic takes two steps. In Elaichi, choose the Anthropic connector and paste an admin API key from your Anthropic Console, which is the only sign-in step, with 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 as the endpoint. Sign in to Elaichi when Claude asks and Anthropic is ready.

### Does Anthropic work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Anthropic 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 Anthropic once and every client you use picks it up.

### What can an AI agent actually do with my Anthropic data?

With Anthropic connected, an agent can list your organization's users and their roles, create and archive workspaces, add or remove workspace members, send and cancel organization invites, and review API keys and their status. It can also pull message usage reports and cost reports so you can see what each workspace consumed and what it cost. Because Anthropic exposes many actions, short concrete asks such as "show cost by workspace for March" work better than long paragraphs.

### Does connecting Anthropic give the AI everything in my organization?

No. Every call to Anthropic runs with the admin API key the person connected, so the agent can only reach what that key is allowed to reach in the Anthropic Console. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reports only, but it can never grant more than the key itself has.

### Can my team share one Anthropic connection?

Yes. One person connects Anthropic in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every user change, invite, or report pulled from Anthropic.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Anthropic users, workspaces, and cost reports while blocking anything that deletes a user, removes a workspace member, or changes an API key. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

### What happens to an Anthropic connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to the Anthropic connection ends at once, in every client they had set up. If the connection was shared, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want Anthropic gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.
