OpenPipe MCP connector
The OpenPipe connector brings your logged calls, datasets, fine-tuned models and evaluation judges to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can work with OpenPipe from the tools they already use.
-
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.

Use cases
What teams do with OpenPipe through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
AI engineering
Turn logged calls into a training dataset
Pull the latest logged calls from OpenPipe, tag the good ones, and add them as entries to a dataset without leaving the chat you are already working in.
-
AI engineering
Kick off a fine-tune from a conversation
Pick a dataset, choose a base model, and start a fine-tuning job in OpenPipe, then check on it later by asking how the run is going.
-
Data science
Keep datasets tidy before a training run
List every dataset in OpenPipe, spot the stale or duplicate ones, and remove them so the next fine-tune starts from a clean set.
-
Quality
Score model output against your own criteria
Run a criteria judge in OpenPipe on a batch of responses and get a plain summary of where the model passed and where it fell short.
-
Product
Label production calls by feature and customer
Update tags and metadata on logged calls in OpenPipe after a launch, so the team can filter later by the feature or account that produced them.
-
Platform
Compare the models you have deployed
List the models in OpenPipe, look up any single one by ID, and retire the ones nobody is calling anymore.
Try asking
- “List our OpenPipe datasets and their entry counts.”
- “Which OpenPipe models were called most this week.”
- “Show the latest logged calls and their tags.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect OpenPipe to Claude?
Connect OpenPipe in Elaichi first, which means pasting the API key you copy from your OpenPipe project settings. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and OpenPipe is available in your next conversation.
Does OpenPipe work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once OpenPipe 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 OpenPipe once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my OpenPipe data?
An agent can fetch your latest logged calls from OpenPipe, tag them, update their metadata and add the useful ones to a dataset. It can create and remove datasets, start a fine-tuning job, check how a fine-tune is going, list and look up your models, run a criteria judge on responses and send chat completions through OpenPipe. In short, the everyday work of building a dataset and training a model, done by asking.
Does connecting OpenPipe give the AI access to every project?
No. Access follows the OpenPipe API key the person connected, so the agent can only reach the project and records that key already covers. Elaichi can narrow that further by turning off individual actions, but it can never widen access beyond what OpenPipe itself grants.
Can I stop an agent from deleting datasets or models in OpenPipe?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow an agent to read logged calls and add dataset entries while blocking it from deleting datasets, models or fine-tuning jobs in OpenPipe. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to an OpenPipe connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to OpenPipe through every client at once. If they shared an OpenPipe connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else on that team. Disconnecting OpenPipe once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.
Does the OpenPipe MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. OpenPipe 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 OpenPipe?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use OpenPipe. 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 OpenPipe call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for OpenPipe?
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 OpenPipe: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
