# Artie MCP connector The Artie connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client check Artie connectors, browse source tables, manage column hashing salts and encryption keys, and start exports, with every action running as the signed-in person and recorded in an audit log.

Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Artie. 2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect. 3. Paste an Artie API key. One person generates a token in Artie 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 Artie tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it. ## Connect Artie 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 Artie 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 Artie 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 Artie 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 Artie 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 Artie through Elaichi ### Check a source before building a pipeline Data engineering. Ping a new Postgres, Oracle or DynamoDB connector in Artie and list its databases, schemas and tables so you know it is reachable before anyone sets up replication. ### Find where a table actually lives Analytics. Search the Artie data catalog for the orders or customers table, pull its column detail, and answer the question without opening three separate consoles. ### Review how sensitive columns are masked Security. List every column hashing salt and encryption key in Artie, then preview how a salt hashes a field before that data lands in the warehouse. ### Stand up a new Snowflake destination Platform. Create the Snowflake warehouse, database and schema through Artie, then confirm the connector can reach it, all from the same conversation. ### Clean up after a database cutover Data engineering. List the remaining Postgres publications, drop the stale replication slot, and update the Artie connector settings once the migration is finished. ### Start an export when a team asks Operations. Kick off a DynamoDB export in Artie the moment a downstream team needs a fresh copy, and check the connector afterward to confirm it went through. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I connect Artie to Claude? Open Elaichi, choose Artie from the catalog, and paste in your Artie API key when prompted. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Artie is ready to use. ### Does Artie work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude? Yes. Once Artie 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 Artie once and every client picks it up. ### What can an AI agent actually do with my Artie data? An agent can look up an Artie connector, ping it to see whether it is reachable, and list the databases, schemas, tables and column detail behind it. It can search the Artie data catalog, list and preview column hashing salts, list encryption keys, create Snowflake warehouses, databases and schemas, start a DynamoDB export, and manage Postgres publications and replication slots. Because Artie exposes a lot of actions, short concrete asks such as "list the tables in the billing connector" work better than long paragraphs. ### Does connecting Artie give the AI access to every connector and key in my workspace? No. Every call to Artie runs with the access of the person who signed in, so the agent sees the connectors, salts and encryption keys that person's Artie API key can already see, and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, but it never widens it. ### Can my team share one Artie connection? Yes. One person connects Artie in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Artie API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every ping, export or catalog search. ### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Artie? Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can block deleting an Artie connector, dropping a replication slot or removing a hashing salt while still allowing lookups and catalog searches. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it. ### What happens to an Artie connection when someone leaves? Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Artie at once, across every client they used. If they shared the Artie connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Artie once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time. ## All 59 Artie tools Every tool below is callable through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp once Artie is connected, subject to the toolbox it is in and the restrictions on the caller. - **List all Artie column hashing salts** (List).
