UKG Dimensions MCP connector
The UKG Dimensions connector brings employee records, supervisors, cost centers, pay periods, locations, and jobs to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person asks questions and updates records inside their own UKG Dimensions access.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect UKG Dimensions to Claude?
Connect UKG Dimensions in Elaichi first, which asks for your UKG Dimensions API key and nothing else. 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. Sign in as yourself and UKG Dimensions is ready to use in Claude.
Does UKG Dimensions work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once UKG Dimensions 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 UKG Dimensions once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my UKG Dimensions data?
It can look up an employee in UKG Dimensions along with their supervisor, employment terms, and external IDs, list the people at a location or in a cost center, and find jobs, employee groups, pay periods, and location sets. It can also create and update person records, including many at once from a list, and remove a record if you allow that. Short, concrete asks such as "who reports to Dana at the Denver center" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting UKG Dimensions give the AI access to every employee?
No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, so if you can only see your own locations in UKG Dimensions, the agent sees only those too. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to lookups only, but it can never widen what UKG Dimensions already lets you do.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in UKG Dimensions?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading UKG Dimensions people, cost centers, and pay periods while blocking updates, bulk changes, or deleting a person record. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to a UKG Dimensions connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to UKG Dimensions through every client at once. A connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team, and the audit log keeps their history. If you need to remove UKG Dimensions entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client.
Does the UKG Dimensions MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. UKG Dimensions 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.
