DoiT MCP connector

The DoiT connector brings DoiT cloud cost alerts, allocations, annotations, and labels to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client, so your team can ask about and manage them in plain language inside their own DoiT access.

  • 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 DoiT to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect DoiT once

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

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

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

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with DoiT through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • FinOps

    Set up a cost alert without the console

    Ask for a new DoiT alert on a budget line or a spend spike, or adjust the threshold on an existing one, straight from the chat window. The alert is created in DoiT under your own access.

  • Finance

    Review how cloud spend is allocated

    List every DoiT allocation, ask what each one covers, and tidy up rules that no longer match how cost centers are organized. Update or retire an allocation as teams change.

  • Engineering

    Note why the bill moved

    After a migration or a big deploy, add a DoiT annotation so anyone looking at the cost chart later sees what happened and when.

  • Platform

    Keep labels tidy across accounts

    See which DoiT labels exist, create new ones for a product line or environment, and assign them so reports group the right resources together.

  • Leadership

    Check which alerts are watching spend

    Ask which DoiT alerts are active, what each one triggers on, and whether a new product or region has any coverage at all, without opening the console.

  • Operations

    Clean up stale alerts and allocations

    Pull the full list of DoiT alerts and allocations, spot the ones tied to projects that have ended, and remove them once the owner has confirmed.

Try asking

  • “List DoiT analytics alerts created this month.”
  • “Summarize spend by DoiT allocation for last quarter.”
  • “Add an annotation to the DoiT cost report.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect DoiT to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, open the DoiT connector and paste in a DoiT API key, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. There is no OAuth application to register in DoiT and no client ID or secret to generate; the API key is the whole sign-in step. Once it is connected, Claude signs in through Elaichi as you and works inside your own DoiT access.

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

Yes. DoiT is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, is what Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent connect to. You do not set DoiT up again for each client.

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

With DoiT connected, an agent can list your cost alerts and tell you what each one watches, create or update an alert, review and change how spend is allocated, add annotations to explain a change in the bill, and create and assign labels so reports group the right things. It can also list and create settings themes. Short, concrete asks such as "list active DoiT alerts" work better than a long paragraph, because the agent looks up the right action from a large set.

Does connecting DoiT give the AI everything in my DoiT account?

No. Every call to DoiT runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees the alerts, allocations, annotations, and labels that person can already see in DoiT, and nothing more. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading only, but it can never widen access beyond what your DoiT account allows.

Can my team share one DoiT connection?

Yes. One person connects DoiT in Elaichi with an API key and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else on the team ever handles that key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every alert created or allocation changed is recorded in the audit log under their own name, not the person who connected it.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading DoiT alerts and allocations while blocking the ability to delete or update them. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a DoiT connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to DoiT through every AI client at once. If they were using a shared DoiT connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want DoiT gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.

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

Yes. DoiT 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.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for DoiT?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use DoiT. 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 DoiT call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for DoiT?

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 DoiT: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
