Roboflow MCP connector
The Roboflow connector brings your computer vision workspaces, projects, dataset versions, training jobs, and images to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client, so your team can ask about them and act on them in plain language.
-
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.

Use cases
What teams do with Roboflow through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Machine learning
Kick off a training run without opening a tab
Ask for a training job on the latest version of a project and check on it later, or stop it if the early numbers look wrong.
-
Data annotation
Upload new images into the right project
Send a batch of images straight into the Roboflow project they belong to, then confirm they landed by asking for them back by ID.
-
Computer vision engineering
Compare dataset versions before you ship
Pull up every version of a project, see which ones have exports and trained models, and pick the one to promote.
-
Operations
Check project health across the workspace
Get a plain read on which projects in a Roboflow workspace are in good shape and which are missing images, labels, or a trained model.
-
Product
Fork a project to try a new idea
Copy an existing project into a fresh fork so a new detection experiment starts from real labeled data instead of an empty dataset.
-
Research
Keep the workspace tidy
List every project and version in a workspace, spot the abandoned experiments, and remove the ones nobody trained in months.
Try asking
- “Which Roboflow projects added the most images last week?”
- “List versions ready to export in the detection workspace.”
- “Summarize project health across all Roboflow workspaces.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Roboflow to Claude?
Connect Roboflow in Elaichi first by pasting the API key from your Roboflow account settings, 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 to Elaichi when Claude asks, and your Roboflow workspaces, projects, and training jobs are available in the conversation.
Does Roboflow work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Roboflow is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You do not connect Roboflow separately for each client.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Roboflow data?
With Roboflow connected, an agent can list your workspaces and projects, open a specific project or version, check project health, see which versions have exports and trained models, and upload images into a project. It can also create projects, fork an existing one, start a training job, and cancel or stop a run that is going badly. Because Roboflow exposes many actions, short concrete asks like "start training on version 4 of the pallet project" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Roboflow give the AI access to every workspace?
No. The AI acts inside the access of the Roboflow API key that was connected and the person who signed in, so it sees only the workspaces, projects, and versions that person could already open in Roboflow. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading projects but never deleting them, and it never widens what the person could already do.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Roboflow?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Roboflow projects and versions while blocking deletion of projects, deletion of versions, or starting training jobs. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt, accidental or otherwise, can reach it.
What happens to a Roboflow connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Roboflow through every client at once. A Roboflow connection they shared with the team keeps working for everyone else, because the credential lives in Elaichi and not on their laptop. If you want to remove Roboflow entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.
