Can my team share one Hex connection?

Yes. One person connects Hex in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else handles a credential. Each teammate still signs in as themselves, so every run and edit in the audit log carries their own name.

Hex MCP connector

The Hex connector brings Hex projects, notebook cells, runs, and threads into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can search, build, and run analyses within their own Hex access, with every call logged.

Connect on Elaichi How to connect

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.

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

Schedules run Hex work end to end.

Runs fetch, group, and draft from Hex notebooks, and a person approves before posting back.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Hex to Claude?

Connect Hex in Elaichi first, where you sign in to Hex over OAuth in your browser and approve access, with no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs you in through Elaichi and your Hex projects are available in the conversation.

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

Yes. Hex is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. There is nothing to set up separately for each one.

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

With Hex connected, an agent can search your projects, open one, read its cells, add or change a cell, run a cell or the whole notebook, and bring back the output or a chart image. It can also start a thread in Hex, ask a follow-up, and tell you which data connections are available. Short, concrete asks work best, such as rerun the churn notebook and show me the final chart.

Does connecting Hex give the AI access to every project in the workspace?

No. Every call runs as the person who signed in to Hex, so the agent sees only the projects, cells, and data connections that person can already open in Hex. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never grant anything Hex itself has not granted.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow searching and running Hex notebooks while blocking cell deletion or edits. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Hex connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Hex through every client at once. A Hex connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Hex once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent together.

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

Yes. Hex 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?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Hex?

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