Can my team share one Apono connection?

Yes. One person connects Apono in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Apono API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every change to an access flow, bundle or group is logged under their own name.

Apono MCP connector

The Apono connector brings Apono users, groups, access flows, bundles and activity reports into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can review, create and tidy access policies in plain language.

Use cases

What teams do with Apono through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

Security

Review who can request what

Ask which access flows exist, who they apply to and what they grant, then spot the one that has drifted from policy before it becomes a finding.
IT

Set up access for a new team

Describe the new team's needs and have the agent create the Apono group, bundle the resources they need and draft the access flow that ties them together.
Compliance

Pull an activity report before an audit

Create an Apono activity report for the quarter, fetch the results and get a plain summary of who was granted access to what, ready for the auditor.
Platform

Adjust an on-call bundle in minutes

Update the bundle your on-call engineers request when a new database or cluster comes online, without opening the Apono console.
IT

Clean up groups after a reorg

List every Apono group, find the ones nobody belongs to anymore and remove them, with each deletion recorded in the audit log.
Security

Check which systems Apono covers

Ask which cloud accounts and tools Apono is connected to and which user attributes are available, so you know where an access flow can actually reach.

Try asking

“Which Apono access flows grant production access this month?”
“List Apono groups with no members.”
“Summarize last week's Apono activity reports by requester.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Apono to Claude?

Connect Apono in Elaichi by pasting an Apono API key, then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Apono connects with an API key, so there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Once the endpoint is in Claude, sign in to Elaichi and Apono is ready to use.

Does Apono work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

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

What can an AI agent actually do with my Apono data?

With Apono connected, an agent can look up users and groups, list and explain access flows, create or update bundles of resources, and create, fetch or update activity reports. It can also tell you which systems Apono is connected to and which user attributes are available for policies. Because Apono exposes many actions, short concrete asks such as "list access flows for the finance group" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Apono give the AI access to every access flow and user?

No. Every call to Apono runs inside the access of the person who signed in to Elaichi, so the agent sees only what that person's Apono API key can see. Elaichi can narrow that further by hiding actions or whole areas, but it can never widen what Apono itself allows.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Apono access flows and reports while blocking any create, update or delete. 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 Apono connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Apono through every client at once, including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent. If the Apono connection was shared, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Apono once in Elaichi removes it from every client for everyone.
