Artificial Intelligence

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.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect Cohere to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect Cohere once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Cohere.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste a Cohere API key. One person generates a token in Cohere and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

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.

  • 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.”

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 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 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.
