Proliant MCP connector

The Proliant connector brings employees, dependents, pay rates and accrual balances into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can look up and update Proliant records inside their own access, with every change 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 Proliant to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

In Elaichi

Connect Proliant once

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

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

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

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

A schedule starts the work, you approve it.

New Proliant employees are fetched, grouped, drafted into a digest, approved, then posted back.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Proliant to Claude?

Connect Proliant in Elaichi first: Proliant connects with an API key, so you paste the key from your Proliant account into Elaichi and the connection is live. Then open 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, and the whole thing takes a few minutes.

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

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

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

It can look up companies, employees, dependents, pay rates and accrual balances in Proliant, and answer questions about them in plain language. It can also create a new employee, add a dependent, change or bulk update pay rates, and adjust accruals when you ask. Short, concrete asks such as "show Maria's current pay rates" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Proliant give the AI access to every employee and company?

No. Every call runs as the person who signed in, so the AI sees only the Proliant companies and employee records that person's access already allows. Elaichi can narrow that further for a team, but it never widens what someone could see in Proliant on their own.

Can my team share one Proliant connection?

Yes. One administrator connects Proliant 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 as themselves, so the audit log names the person who looked up or changed a Proliant record, not a shared account.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading employees and rates while blocking the actions that delete an employee or change a pay rate in Proliant. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Proliant connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Proliant through every client at once. A shared Proliant connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you disconnect Proliant in Elaichi, it disappears from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent in one step.

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

Yes. Proliant 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.
