What teams do with Helicone through Elaichi

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

  • Engineering

    Find the request behind a bad answer

    When a user reports a strange response, pull up the exact Helicone request by ID, see the inputs that went in, and tag it with a property so the whole team can find it again.

  • Product

    Score responses without leaving the chat

    Review a batch of recent Helicone requests, submit a score or a note of feedback on each one, and build up the signal your evals depend on.

  • Data

    See how eval scores are distributed

    Ask how a Helicone eval is scoring across the last week, spot the requests that fall at the bottom, and compare against the models in use.

  • Finance

    Check AI spend before the invoice lands

    Read the Helicone dashboard figures for requests and cost by model or by property, and summarize them for the monthly budget review.

  • Support

    Trace a customer's session end to end

    List the Helicone requests tied to a customer or session property, read what was asked and answered, and attach feedback so engineering knows what to fix.

  • Engineering

    Keep prompts tidy across versions

    Create a new Helicone prompt, look up an existing one, and remove old versions that nobody should be calling any more, all from a short ask.

Try asking

  • “Summarize Helicone requests with low feedback scores this week.”
  • “Which team created the most Helicone requests yesterday?”

For IT and engineering

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Helicone

All three can connect Helicone 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 Helicone, 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 Helicone tools Allow or restrict single Helicone 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 Helicone 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.

Helicone tools for your AI agents

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

Questions, answered

How do I connect Helicone to Claude?

First, connect Helicone in Elaichi by pasting in a Helicone API key, which you can copy from your Helicone settings. 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 as yourself and Helicone requests, prompts, and evals are available in your conversation.

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

Yes. Once Helicone 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 Helicone once and every client picks it up, with the same access rules and the same audit log.

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

It can look up a specific Helicone request and show you the inputs and the response, list recent requests and filter them by a property such as a customer or session, and read the dashboard numbers for usage and cost. It can also submit feedback or a score on a request, create an eval and show how its scores are distributed, list the models and properties in use, and create or retire prompts. Because Helicone exposes a large set of actions, short concrete asks such as "show request abc123" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Helicone give the AI everything in my organization?

No. Access follows the person who signed in, so the AI can only see the Helicone requests, prompts, and evals that the API key behind the connection can already see. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example read only for a Support team, but it can never widen it beyond what Helicone itself allows.

Can my team share one Helicone connection?

Yes. One person connects Helicone with an API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else on the team ever handles or sees that key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person who looked up a Helicone request or scored a response.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Helicone?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Helicone requests and dashboards while restricting deleting prompts, submitting scores, or changing properties. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a Helicone connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Helicone at once, across every client they used. If they had shared a Helicone connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want Helicone gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and every other client in the same step.

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

Yes. Helicone 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 Helicone?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Helicone?

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

Put Helicone 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.
