Hive MCP connector
The Hive connector brings your Hive projects, teams, labels, workspaces and users to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client through one endpoint, with each person working inside their own Hive 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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Hive to Claude?
Connect Hive in Elaichi first, which asks you to paste an API key from your Hive account, and 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 https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. You sign in to Elaichi as yourself and Hive is ready to use in Claude.
Does Hive work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Hive 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 Hive once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Hive data?
With Hive connected, an agent can list and look up your Hive projects, teams, labels, workspaces, groups and users, and it can create, update or remove projects, teams, labels and users when you ask. Because Hive has a large set of actions, the agent searches for the right one as you ask, so short concrete requests such as "create a project called Q3 launch" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Hive give the AI access to every workspace and project?
No. Every Hive action runs as the person who signed in, so the AI sees only the Hive workspaces, projects and users that person can already see in Hive. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never grant more than Hive itself allows that person.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Hive?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Hive projects and labels while blocking the ability to delete a project, remove a user or change a team. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to a Hive connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Hive through every client at once. If they connected Hive and shared it with a team, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Hive once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
