# Katana MRP MCP connector

The Katana MRP connector brings batches, bin locations, bin transfers, and bills of materials into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person works with live stock inside their own Katana MRP access.

## What you can ask once Katana MRP is connected

- Which batches of steel tubing are in bin A-12?
- Move batch 4471 from receiving to bin B-3
- List additional costs recorded on last week's batches

## Connect Katana MRP in Elaichi

This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved.

1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Katana MRP.
2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect.
3. Paste a Katana MRP API key. One person generates a token in Katana MRP and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

Credentials are vaulted and nobody, including the AI, reads them back. The connection becomes a toolbox immediately, so you can curate which Katana MRP tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it.

## Katana MRP MCP connector for Claude

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
2. Press Add.
3. Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue.
4. Sign in and approve.

On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves.

## Katana MRP MCP connector for ChatGPT

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Open Plugins, then press the + button.
2. Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL.
3. Leave Authentication on OAuth, then tick the risk acknowledgement.
4. Press Create, then sign in and approve.

Works on the web today. The plugin directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins.

## Katana MRP MCP connector for Cursor

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.
2. Add the endpoint under `mcpServers`.
3. Reload Cursor, then sign in and approve.

Set up per machine, so repeat it on each computer you work from.

## Connect Katana MRP to any MCP client

Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp

1. Add the endpoint as a remote MCP server.
2. Sign in and approve.

The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up.

## What the consent screen decides

Only Read is granted by default, which is not enough to call a Katana MRP tool. Over MCP there is no trusted place to confirm a write in the moment, so the consent screen is the standing approval rather than a formality. Grant Read and Run tools. Think hard before granting Delete, which reaches into connected apps and cannot be undone.

## What teams do with Katana MRP through Elaichi

### Move stock between bins without opening a screen

Warehouse. Ask for a bin transfer from receiving to the pick face, and the transfer is created in Katana MRP with each row filled in. Mark a whole set of transfers done at the end of a shift in one go.

### Check batch stock before the run starts

Production. See which batches of a material are on hand and how much is in each before a shift begins. Adjust a batch stock line when the count on the floor does not match the record.

### Keep bin locations matching the building

Operations. Add, rename, or remove bin locations when racking moves, so Katana MRP describes the warehouse as it stands today.

### Fix a bill of materials line quickly

Engineering. Change a quantity or remove a component on a BOM row after a design change, without clicking through every product.

### Trace additional costs against stock

Finance. List freight, duty, and other additional costs recorded in Katana MRP so landed cost questions are answered from the record rather than a spreadsheet.

### Find where a batch sits right now

Quality. Pull batch stock and bin inventories for a batch number and see exactly which bins hold it before a hold or recall goes out.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I connect Katana MRP to Claude?

In Elaichi, choose Katana MRP and paste the API key from your Katana MRP settings, then the connection is ready. In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate, so the whole thing takes a few minutes.

### Does Katana MRP work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Katana MRP 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 Katana MRP once and every client picks it up.

### What can an AI agent actually do with my Katana MRP data?

An agent connected to Katana MRP can look up batches and batch stock, list what sits in each bin, create and update bin transfers, tidy bin locations, edit rows on a bill of materials, and list additional costs. Short, concrete asks such as "move batch 4471 to bin B-3" work better than long paragraphs. It works with the live Katana MRP records, not a copy you have to export.

### Does connecting Katana MRP give the AI everything in my inventory?

No. Every call into Katana MRP runs as the person who signed in, so an agent sees only the batches, bins, and bills of materials that person can already reach in Katana MRP. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Katana MRP itself allows.

### Can my team share one Katana MRP connection?

Yes. One person connects Katana MRP with the API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the person behind every Katana MRP change.

### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Katana MRP?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading batches and bins while blocking deletion of bin locations or edits to bill of materials rows. A restricted Katana MRP action is never advertised to the AI client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

### What happens to a Katana MRP connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Katana MRP through every client at once. A shared Katana MRP connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want Katana MRP gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client.

### Does the Katana MRP MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Katana MRP 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.
