Connect 7shifts MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect 7shifts to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Cline executes 7shifts staff updates
Tell the agent to onboard a new hire and it triggers `create_employee`. It creates the record using the contact info you provide. No manual entry required. Cline talks to the API and confirms when the profile is live.
Manage your restaurant floor using this MCP Server
The agent uses `list_locations` to map out your departments and roles. It then uses `create_shift` to assign tasks based on your requirements. Cline builds the schedule while you write code. It handles the back-and-forth with the server.
Cline audits your time-off requests
Run `list_time_off` to see who is out of the office. The agent presents the list directly in your sidebar for quick review. It saves you from digging through the web dashboard. You see the status of every request in seconds.
