Can my team share one Hive connection?

Yes. One person connects Hive in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the Hive API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every change to a Hive project, team or user.

Hive MCP connector

The Hive connector brings your Hive projects, teams, labels, workspaces and users to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client through one endpoint, with each person working inside their own Hive access and every action recorded.

Connect on Elaichi How to connect

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

Find out what projects are live

Ask which Hive projects exist in a workspace, who leads each one, and which labels they carry, without opening every project card.
Marketing

Keep labels tidy across campaigns

Rename a stale Hive label, create a new one for the quarter's campaign, or retire one nobody uses, all from a plain-language request.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Hive to Claude?

Connect Hive in Elaichi first, which asks you to paste an API key from your Hive account, and 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. You sign in to Elaichi as yourself and Hive is ready to use in Claude.

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

Yes. Once Hive 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 Hive once and every client you use picks it up.

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

With Hive connected, an agent can list and look up your Hive projects, teams, labels, workspaces, groups and users, and it can create, update or remove projects, teams, labels and users when you ask. Because Hive has a large set of actions, the agent searches for the right one as you ask, so short concrete requests such as "create a project called Q3 launch" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Hive give the AI access to every workspace and project?

No. Every Hive action runs as the person who signed in, so the AI sees only the Hive workspaces, projects and users that person can already see in Hive. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, but it can never grant more than Hive itself allows that person.

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

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Hive projects and labels while blocking the ability to delete a project, remove a user or change a team. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Hive connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Hive through every client at once. If they connected Hive and shared it with a team, the shared connection keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Hive once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.

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

Yes. Hive 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 Hive?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Hive?

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