FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Humi by Employment Hero to Claude?
Connect Humi by Employment Hero in Elaichi first: pick it from the catalog and paste in the API key from your Humi account, which takes about a minute. 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 https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on it can work with Humi by Employment Hero as you.
Does Humi by Employment Hero work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Humi by Employment Hero 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 Humi by Employment Hero once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Humi by Employment Hero data?
An agent connected to Humi by Employment Hero can list employees, look up one employee's details, show time off requests for the whole company or a single person, list additional incomes such as bonuses, and log hours worked for an employee. In practice that means asking who is off next week, checking a team member's leave history, or recording a shift after it ends. Short, concrete asks such as "list pending time off for the support team" work better than long sentences.
Does connecting Humi by Employment Hero give the AI access to every employee record?
No. Every call to Humi by Employment Hero runs under the access of the person who signed in, so a manager sees what that manager can already see in Humi, and an administrator sees what an administrator sees. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, but it can never widen it beyond what Humi by Employment Hero already allows that person.
Can I stop an agent from logging hours or changing anything in Humi by Employment Hero?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading employees and time off requests while blocking the one action that writes to Humi by Employment Hero, logging time worked. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Humi by Employment Hero connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Humi by Employment Hero through every client at once. If the connection was shared with a team, it keeps working for everyone else, because nobody's access depended on that person's login. If you want Humi by Employment Hero gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
Does the Humi by Employment Hero MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Humi by Employment Hero 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.
