Incident Management

FireHydrant MCP connector

The FireHydrant connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients open, update and list FireHydrant incidents, alerts and change events, with each person working inside their own FireHydrant access and every action recorded.

  • 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 FireHydrant to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect FireHydrant once

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

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

  3. Paste a FireHydrant API key. One person generates a token in FireHydrant 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 FireHydrant through Elaichi

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

  • On-call engineering

    Open an incident from a paging alert

    When an alert fires, ask the agent to open a FireHydrant incident with the right title and severity instead of filling in the form under pressure. It can also tie the triggering alert to the new incident.

  • Incident command

    Catch the incident up during the bridge

    While the call is running, tell the agent what changed and it updates the FireHydrant incident with the new status, severity or summary. Nobody has to break away from the conversation to type it in.

  • Platform and SRE

    Log a deploy as a change event

    After a rollout, ask the agent to record a FireHydrant change event with what shipped and when, so the timeline is there when something breaks an hour later.

  • Support

    Check whether an outage is already open

    When customers start reporting problems, ask what active FireHydrant incidents exist right now and what they say, so the support desk answers with the same story engineering is telling.

  • Engineering management

    Summarize last week's incidents and alerts

    Ask for every FireHydrant incident from the past seven days, grouped by severity, or which alerts fired most often. The agent lists them from live records rather than a stale export.

  • Release management

    Line up changes against a failure

    Ask which FireHydrant change events landed in the two hours before an incident opened, so the team can rule causes in or out quickly.

Try asking

  • “List all open FireHydrant incidents from the last seven days.”
  • “Which services had the most change events this month?”
  • “Summarize yesterday's FireHydrant incidents by severity and owning team.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect FireHydrant to Claude?

Connecting FireHydrant to Claude takes two steps. First, connect FireHydrant in Elaichi by pasting a FireHydrant API key when asked; 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. Sign in with your Elaichi account and FireHydrant incidents, alerts and change events are available in your conversation.

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

Yes. Once FireHydrant 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 FireHydrant once and every client you use gets it.

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

With FireHydrant connected, an agent can open a new incident, update its severity, status or summary, and pull up any incident by name or list the ones currently open. It can record change events such as deploys and configuration changes, look up alerts and attach them to incidents, and read the processing log when you want to know how a signal was handled. Short, specific asks such as "open a sev2 for the checkout API" work better than long paragraphs, because the agent searches for the right FireHydrant action based on what you ask.

Does connecting FireHydrant give the AI access to every incident in my organization?

No. When you connect FireHydrant through Elaichi, the agent works with the access of the API key you provided and the person who signed in, so it sees the FireHydrant incidents, alerts and change events that person can already see and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to reading only, but it can never widen it beyond what FireHydrant itself allows.

Can my team share one FireHydrant connection?

Yes. One person connects FireHydrant in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else on that team ever sees or handles the FireHydrant API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every incident opened or updated through the shared FireHydrant connection is logged under the name of the person who did it.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing incidents in FireHydrant?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading FireHydrant incidents and alerts while blocking deleting incidents, removing change events or editing alerts. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, accidental or otherwise, can reach it.

What happens to a FireHydrant connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to FireHydrant through every connected client ends at once. If they connected FireHydrant and shared it with a team, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting FireHydrant once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
