Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Prodege. 2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect. 3. Paste a Prodege API key. One person generates a token in Prodege 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 Prodege tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it. ## Connect Prodege to Claude Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1.

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 Prodege through Elaichi ### Find surveys a panelist can take Research. Ask which open surveys a specific panelist qualifies for before you reach out, so you only send invitations they can actually complete. ### Add a new panelist after recruitment Panel operations.

Connect Prodege in Elaichi first, where you paste your Prodege API key when prompted. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Sign in as yourself and Prodege appears alongside your other connected applications. ### Does Prodege work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude? Yes. Once Prodege 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 Prodege once and every client your team uses can reach it. ### What can an AI agent actually do with my Prodege data? With Prodege connected, an agent can look up panelists, add a new panelist, and update an existing panelist's details. It can list your surveys and vendor surveys, check whether a panelist is eligible for one survey or several at once, and show which surveys a given panelist has. It can also list the supported countries and the screening questions on file. ### Does connecting Prodege give the AI access to my whole panel? No. Every call to Prodege runs under the API key and account of the person who connected it, so the agent sees only what that account can see in Prodege. Elaichi can narrow that further by hiding actions or restricting them to certain teams, but it can never grant more than the underlying Prodege account already has. ### Can my team share one Prodege connection? Yes. One person connects Prodege 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 every Prodege action in the audit log is tied to the person who took it, not to a shared account. ### Can I stop an agent from changing panelist records in Prodege? Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Prodege surveys and panelists while blocking the ability to create or update a panelist. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client, so no prompt can reach it. ### What happens to a Prodege connection when someone leaves? Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Prodege at once, across every client they used. If they had shared a Prodege connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Prodege once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time. ## All 11 Prodege tools Every tool below is callable through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp once Prodege is connected, subject to the toolbox it is in and the restrictions on the caller. - **List all Prodege request time offset** (List).
