Cohere MCP connector
The Cohere connector brings Cohere's chats, embeddings, reranking, classification, transcription, datasets and batch jobs into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can run and check Cohere work from the assistant they already use.

Use cases
What teams do with Cohere through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

Hand Cohere a stack of new ticket messages with a few labeled examples and get each one classified as billing, bug, cancellation or how-to before anyone opens the queue.
-
Research
Find the most relevant documents fast
Ask a question, point at a pile of reports or transcripts, and have Cohere rerank them so the three that actually answer it come out on top.
-
Data
Kick off and watch an embedding job
Start an embed job over a dataset, check how far it has got, and cancel it if the wrong file went in, all without opening the Cohere dashboard.
-
Marketing
Draft copy variants in one ask
Send a brief and a saved prompt to Cohere and get back several headline and email variants to pick from, with the model choice on record.
-
Operations
Turn meeting recordings into text
Drop a recorded call or all-hands into Cohere for transcription, then summarize the outcome and action items from the transcript in the same conversation.
-
Engineering
Run large prompt batches overnight
Queue a batch of thousands of prompts, list what is running, pull results by batch when they land, and check dataset usage before the bill arrives.
Try asking

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Cohere to Claude?
Connecting Cohere takes two steps. First, in Elaichi, choose Cohere and paste in your Cohere API key, since Cohere connects with a key rather than a sign-in screen, and 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 the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi, and Cohere is ready to use.
Does Cohere work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Cohere 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 Cohere once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Cohere account?
Through the Cohere connector an agent can run chats and saved prompts, classify text, rerank documents against a question, create embeddings and embed jobs, transcribe audio, queue and check batch jobs, and create, list or inspect datasets and their usage. It can also list the Cohere models available to you and count tokens. Because Cohere exposes a lot of actions, short concrete asks such as 'classify these ten messages' work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Cohere give the AI my whole Cohere account?
No. The Cohere connector can only do what the API key it was connected with is allowed to do, and each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves before they can use it. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to running chats and classification only, but it can never widen it beyond what the Cohere key already permits.
Can I stop an agent from deleting datasets or canceling jobs in Cohere?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow Cohere chats, reranking and classification while blocking dataset deletion and batch or embed job cancellation. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Cohere connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Cohere and every other connected application at once, with no need to rotate the Cohere API key. If the Cohere connection was shared, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want Cohere gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
