Questions, answered
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, Microsoft Copilot, 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 restricting updates, bulk changes, or deleting a person record. 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 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, Microsoft Copilot, 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, 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 UKG Dimensions?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use UKG Dimensions. 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 UKG Dimensions call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for UKG Dimensions?
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 UKG Dimensions: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
