Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Omni HR tools Allow or restrict single Omni HR tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Omni HR call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.

Omni HR tools for your AI agents

Questions, answered

How do I connect Omni HR to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, choose Omni HR and paste the API key from your Omni HR account, since Omni HR connects with an API key and there is no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and Omni HR is available in the conversation.

Does Omni HR work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Omni HR is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Omni HR once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Omni HR data?

It can list open expense approvals and reimbursements, show active review cycles, pull attendance summaries and timesheets, report on compensation events and history, list celebration events and read admin form submissions from Omni HR. It can also create companies when a new entity joins the group. Short, concrete asks such as "open expense approvals over 500" get better results than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Omni HR give the AI access to everything in my workspace?

No. The agent only sees what the Omni HR API key it is working through is allowed to see, and every person signs in to Elaichi as themselves so their calls are their own. Elaichi can narrow that access further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Omni HR already permits.

Can my team share one Omni HR connection?

Yes. One person connects Omni HR 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 names the actual person behind every Omni HR request.

Can I stop an agent from creating or changing things in Omni HR?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Omni HR expense approvals and review cycles while restricting the ability to create companies. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Microsoft Copilot cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to an Omni HR connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Omni HR through every client at once. A shared Omni HR connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want the connection gone entirely, disconnect it once in Elaichi and it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and the Elaichi Agent together.

Does the Omni HR MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Omni HR 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, Microsoft Copilot, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Omni HR?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Omni HR. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Omni HR call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Omni HR?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Omni HR: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.

Put Omni HR in front of your team
