Use cases
What teams do with UserTesting through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
UX Research
Write up a study the morning after
Ask for the session results and transcripts from a study that finished overnight and get a summary of where participants hesitated, what they said, and which tasks they failed.
-
Product
Compare QX scores before a launch decision
Pull the QX scores for every test on a feature and see whether the latest round of changes actually moved the numbers before you commit to a ship date.
-
Design
Find the exact moment a tester got stuck
Search the transcripts for the screen or word you care about, then jump to the session clip and video so you can watch what happened instead of guessing.
-
Marketing
Turn highlight reels into customer stories
List the highlight reels from recent tests, find the quotes where people describe the product in their own words, and reuse them for launch copy and case studies.
-
Support
Match tickets to what testers already said
When the same confusion keeps showing up in tickets, check whether UserTesting participants ran into it too, and hand the transcript to the product team as evidence.
-
Research Ops
See what every workspace is testing
List every UserTesting workspace and its studies to spot duplicated research, catch teams testing the same flow twice, and keep a running picture of what has been covered.
Try asking

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect UserTesting to Claude?
Connecting UserTesting to Claude takes two steps. First, connect UserTesting in Elaichi by pasting the app credentials from your UserTesting account, 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 the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and Claude can start reading your studies and session results.
Does UserTesting work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once UserTesting is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect UserTesting once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my UserTesting data?
With UserTesting connected, an AI agent can list your workspaces and studies, open a specific study, and read its session results, transcripts, clips, highlight reels, and QX scores. In practice that means asking things like which tasks participants failed in last week's study, what people said when they reached the checkout page, or how the QX score changed between two rounds of testing. It can also give you the video download links for a session so you can watch it yourself.
Does connecting UserTesting give the AI access to every workspace?
No. Access follows the person who signed in, so the AI only sees the UserTesting workspaces, studies, and sessions that person can already open in UserTesting. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to a single workspace or to results without video links, but it never widens it beyond what the person already has.
Can I stop an AI agent from changing or deleting things in UserTesting?
The UserTesting connector only reads: it lists and opens studies, session results, transcripts, clips, highlight reels, and QX scores, and cannot create, edit, or delete anything in UserTesting. If you want to go further, Elaichi restrictions work per action, so you can block access to session video links or clips for a given team. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to a UserTesting connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to UserTesting through every client ends at once, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. A UserTesting connection they shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you ever want to remove UserTesting entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from every client.
Does the UserTesting MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. UserTesting 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 UserTesting?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use UserTesting. 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 UserTesting call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for UserTesting?
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 UserTesting: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
