Inngest MCP connector

The Inngest connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients list your Inngest apps, functions, runs and environments, rerun or invoke functions, and manage webhooks and keys, with every action signed in as you and logged.

  • 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.

How to connect

How to connect Inngest to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect Inngest once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Inngest.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste an Inngest API key. One person generates a token in Inngest and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with Inngest through Elaichi

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

  • Engineering

    Find out why a run failed

    Ask for the failed runs of a function from the last hour and pull up one run to see where it stopped and what it was working on.

  • On-call

    Rerun the jobs that failed overnight

    List the runs that failed while nobody was watching, then rerun them in one go once the cause is fixed.

  • Engineering

    Trigger a function on demand

    Invoke a function with the payload you need to test a fix or process one customer's data right now, without opening the Inngest dashboard.

  • Platform

    Set up a new environment with webhooks

    Create a staging or preview environment, add the webhooks it needs and confirm which event keys and signing keys belong to it.

  • Support

    Check whether a customer's job ran

    When a customer says an email or export never arrived, look up the event runs for that event and see whether the function ran, is still running or failed.

  • Product

    Review function experiments and score runs

    List the experiments running on a function, compare their runs and record a score against a run so the team can see which version is winning.

Try asking

  • “List failed event runs for our checkout functions this week.”
  • “Which Inngest apps have functions without a recent sync?”
  • “Show function experiments running in the production env.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Inngest to Claude?

Connect Inngest in Elaichi by pasting an API key from your Inngest account; there is no OAuth app 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. Claude signs you in through Elaichi and Inngest is available in your chat.

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

Yes. Once Inngest 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 Inngest once and every client picks it up.

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

With Inngest connected, an agent can list your apps, functions, environments, runs and event runs, open a single run to see what happened, rerun or delete a run, invoke a function, sync an app after a deploy, create or update environments, add webhooks and check event keys and signing keys. Because Inngest exposes many actions, short concrete asks such as "show failed runs for the billing function today" work better than long sentences.

Does connecting Inngest give the AI access to every environment and account?

No. Every request to Inngest runs under the API key of the person who connected it, so the agent can only see the accounts, environments and functions that key already reaches in Inngest. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions per action, and it can never widen it beyond what Inngest itself allows.

Can my team share one Inngest connection?

Yes. One person connects Inngest in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the person who reran a run or created a webhook in Inngest, not a shared account.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Inngest runs and functions while blocking deleting a run, invoking a function or changing an environment. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to an Inngest connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Inngest through every client ends at once. If they shared an Inngest connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Inngest once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
