Hex (EU) MCP connector

The Hex (EU) connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent search your Hex projects, run notebooks, read cell output and start analysis threads, with every call made as the signed-in person and logged.

  • How it connects. Connects over OAuth. 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

Use cases

What teams do with Hex (EU) through Elaichi

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

  • Data

    Build a notebook from a question

    Describe the analysis you need, and the agent creates a Hex project, adds SQL and text cells, and runs them against the data connection you point it at.

  • Finance

    Rerun the month-end notebook on demand

    Ask for the latest numbers and the agent runs the month-end notebook in Hex, waits for the run to finish, and reads the output back to you.

  • Marketing

    Pull the chart from last week's campaign report

    Ask for the campaign chart and the agent finds the right Hex project, grabs the cell image, and drops it into your update.

  • Product

    Continue an analysis thread where you left off

    Open a thread in Hex, ask a follow-up about activation or retention, and keep the conversation going without rebuilding the query.

  • Sales ops

    Find the pipeline analysis someone already built

    Search Hex projects by topic, open the one that matches, and read the latest cell output instead of asking around in chat.

  • Operations

    Fix a broken cell and run it again

    Point the agent at the cell that errored, have it update the query, run that cell alone, and check the output before touching the rest.

Try asking

  • “Find the churn analysis project and run the latest notebook.”
  • “Show me the output of the revenue cell in the Q3 project.”
  • “Start a thread asking why signups dropped last week.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Hex (EU) to Claude?

Connect Hex in EU inside Elaichi first, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Hex (EU) connects over OAuth, so the sign-in step is Hex's own login page for the EU region, where you approve access as yourself. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate.

Does Hex (EU) work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Hex (EU) 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 Hex in EU once and every client sees it.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Hex (EU) data?

With Hex (EU) connected, an agent can search your projects, open a notebook and list its cells, add or edit a cell, run a single cell or the whole notebook, and read the output or chart it produced. It can also start or continue an analysis thread in Hex and check which data connections a project uses. Short, concrete asks work better than long sentences, so 'run the churn notebook and read me the first table' beats a paragraph.

Does connecting Hex (EU) give the AI every project in my workspace?

No. Everything runs inside the access of the person who signed in to Hex in EU, so an agent sees the projects and data connections that person can already open, and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never widen what Hex grants.

Can my team share one Hex (EU) connection?

Yes. One person connects Hex (EU) in Elaichi and shares it with a team, and nobody else handles a token or credential. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every notebook run or cell change in Hex is logged under their own name.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing cells in Hex (EU)?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow searching projects and reading cell output in Hex (EU) while blocking deleting cells, editing cells, or creating projects. A restricted action is never advertised to the AI client at all, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Hex (EU) connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding the person in Elaichi ends their access to Hex (EU) through every client at once. If they had shared their Hex connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Hex in EU once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.

Does the Hex (EU) MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Hex (EU) 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, 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 Hex (EU)?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Hex (EU). 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 Hex (EU) call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Hex (EU)?

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