Herd Security MCP connector
The Herd Security connector brings enrollments, users, tags, and tag trainings into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can ask about security training coverage within their own access, with every request logged.

-
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Herd Security to Claude?
Connect Herd Security in Elaichi first: pick it from the catalog and paste in a Herd Security API key, since that is how Herd Security signs in. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in to Elaichi when prompted and Herd Security enrollments, users, tags, and tag trainings are available in Claude.
Does Herd Security work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Herd Security 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 Herd Security once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Herd Security data?
With Herd Security connected, an agent can list your enrollments, list your users, list your tags, and list the trainings attached to each tag. That means you can ask who is enrolled, which people are in Herd Security, how users are grouped, and what training a given group receives, then have the answer summarized in plain language. This connector reads from Herd Security; it does not create or change anything there.
Does connecting Herd Security give the AI access to everything in my account?
No. A Herd Security connection carries the access of the API key it was set up with, and every request runs inside that access, so the agent sees no more of Herd Security than that key allows. Elaichi can narrow what is exposed further, for example by leaving out enrollments for a particular team, but it can never widen access beyond what Herd Security itself permits.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Herd Security?
This Herd Security connector only lists enrollments, users, tags, and tag trainings, so there is nothing in it that deletes or changes records. Beyond that, Elaichi restrictions work per action, and any action you block is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client. A blocked action cannot be reached by any prompt because the AI does not know it exists.
What happens to a Herd Security connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Herd Security through Elaichi ends at once, in every client they had connected. If they shared a Herd Security connection with a team, that connection keeps working for everyone else. If you want to remove Herd Security entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.
