Metronome MCP connector

The Metronome connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client look up usage, manage billable metrics, credit types, customer alerts, and approval requests in Metronome, with each person signed in as themselves and every action 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 Metronome to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

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

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

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

Use cases

What teams do with Metronome through Elaichi

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

  • Finance

    Check a customer's usage before month end

    Ask what a customer has consumed this period by seat or by group and get the figure straight from Metronome, without opening a dashboard or waiting on an export.

  • Revenue operations

    Review and approve pending approval requests

    Pull up every open approval request in Metronome, read the details, and approve or deny it in the same conversation so pricing changes stop waiting on someone to log in.

  • Billing operations

    Set up a new billable metric

    Describe the event you want to charge on and have the metric created in Metronome, or archive an old one once it is no longer used in any plan.

  • Customer success

    Reset a customer's spend alert after a call

    When a customer has been warned about a threshold and agreed a path forward, reset their alert in Metronome and confirm which alerts are still active on the account.

  • Product

    Define credit types for a new offering

    List the credit types already in Metronome, add one for a new product line, and archive types that belong to retired packaging.

  • Engineering

    Send test usage events and confirm they landed

    Ingest a handful of usage events into Metronome from a plain request, then look up the resulting usage to check the metric counts them the way you expect.

Try asking

  • “Summarize this month's approval requests pending in Metronome.”
  • “Which customers triggered billing alerts this week?”
  • “List billable metrics archived in the last 30 days.”

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 trigger real Metronome work end to end.

A trigger fetches records, drafts a digest, a person approves, then it posts back to Metronome.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Metronome to Claude?

In Elaichi, open connectors, choose Metronome, and paste a Metronome API key when asked. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Metronome is ready to use.

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

Yes. Once Metronome 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 Metronome once and every client you use picks it up.

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

With Metronome connected, an agent can look up a customer's usage by seat or by group, list and reset customer alerts, create or archive billable metrics and credit types, review approval requests and approve or deny them, send usage events, and manage billing settings such as Stripe configuration. Because Metronome offers well over a hundred actions, short concrete asks work best, for example "show open approval requests" rather than a long paragraph.

Does connecting Metronome give the AI access to everything in my billing setup?

No. Everything an agent does in Metronome runs under the API key the person connected, so it can only reach what that key is allowed to reach. Elaichi can narrow that further by blocking specific actions for a team, and it can never grant more than the Metronome key itself allows.

Can my team share one Metronome connection?

Yes. One person connects Metronome in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records who looked up usage or approved a request in Metronome, not just which connection was used.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading usage and alerts in Metronome while blocking archiving metrics, deleting Stripe billing configuration, or approving requests. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Metronome connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Metronome through every client ends at once. A Metronome connection shared with a team keeps working for everyone else, and if you disconnect Metronome in Elaichi it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client in one step.
