How to connect Cohere to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot

Step by step, for each AI app

Cohere MCP connector for Claude

  1. 1

    Open Customize, then Connectors.

  2. 2

    Press Add.

  3. 3

    Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.

    https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in and approve.

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

What teams do with Cohere through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Cohere is logged.

  • Support

    Sort incoming tickets by intent

    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

  • “Summarize last week's Cohere embed jobs by status.”
  • “Which Cohere batches are still running right now?”
  • “Rerank these support articles for the billing question.”

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Cohere

All three can connect Cohere to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Elaichi compared with Zapier MCP and Composio for Cohere, by what to check
What to check Elaichi Zapier MCP Composio
Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Cohere tools Allow or restrict single Cohere tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Cohere call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.
Single sign-on SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. SAML on Enterprise. SAML and OIDC on Enterprise.
Price Free for one person; $15 per user per month on Gold. 2 tasks per successful call. Billed per tool call.

Longer take: Zapier MCP alternative and when you don't need an MCP gateway.

Cohere tools for your AI agents

40 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Cohere, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.

Questions, answered

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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 my team share one Cohere connection?

Yes. One person connects Cohere in Elaichi with the API key and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else on the team ever sees or handles that key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every Cohere chat, batch or dataset action in the audit log is tied to the person who asked for it.

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 restricting dataset deletion and batch or embed job cancellation. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

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, Microsoft Copilot and every other client at the same time.

Does the Cohere MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Cohere 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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 Cohere?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Cohere. 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 Cohere call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Cohere?

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 Cohere: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.

Put Cohere in front of your team

14 days of Black, no credit card. Connect it once and pick what each team can call.

When the trial ends, nothing is deleted. You move to the free Personal plan, and connections, roles and the audit log stay where they are.
