Can my team share one Raken connection?

Yes. One person connects Raken in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees the client ID or secret. Each teammate still signs in to Raken as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every call.

Time Tracking

Raken MCP connector

The Raken connector brings your Raken projects, time cards, work logs, materials and equipment logs to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can ask about them and keep them current inside their own Raken access.

Connect on Elaichi How to connect

How it connects. Connects over OAuth. 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 Raken to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

In Elaichi

Connect Raken once

Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Raken.
Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.
Supply your own Raken app, then approve. Raken needs an OAuth app you register yourself, so bring its client ID and secret. One person does this once for the organization.

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Raken to Claude?

Connect Raken in Elaichi first, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Raken requires an OAuth application registered inside Raken itself, so one person brings that client ID and secret once when connecting, and nobody has to handle it again. After that, each person signs in to Raken as themselves.

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

Yes. Raken is connected to Elaichi once, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. There is nothing extra to set up per client.

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

An agent can list and summarize your Raken projects, work logs, time cards, material logs, equipment logs, budgets and project notes, and it can create or update projects, materials, material units and classifications. Short concrete asks, like the hours logged on one project this week, work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Raken give the AI access to every project?

No. Every call runs as the person who signed in to Raken, so the agent sees the Raken projects, time cards and logs that person can already see. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Raken itself allows.

Can I stop an agent from changing things in Raken?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Raken work logs and time cards while blocking the creation or updating of projects and materials. A restricted action is left out of the AI client's list entirely and cannot be called, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a Raken connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Raken through every AI client at once. A shared Raken connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want it gone completely, disconnecting Raken once in Elaichi removes it from every client.

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

Yes. Raken 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 Raken?

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

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Raken?

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