Query Betterfly ESG Data via Claude Desktop

The `get_impact_stats` tool gives your HR team quarterly social impact numbers right now. Instead of digging through web dashboards, ask your AI client to pull the exact figures. Claude formats the raw ESG metrics into a clean table for your presentation. You can also track how these metrics tie into daily employee engagement. Running `get_company_metrics` gives you aggregate well-being stats across the organization. The data flows directly into your chat window for immediate analysis. This MCP integration connects directly to the API.

Manage Corporate Wellness Challenges

The `create_challenge` tool makes setting up a new team activity sprint take seconds. Tell Claude to execute the command with your desired parameters, and the event goes live. You avoid navigating a complex admin panel to get employees moving. Monitoring progress is just as fast. Using `list_challenges` shows you what active corporate events are running, while `list_activities` tracks global corporate steps. Your agent handles the backend API calls while you focus on the results.

Administer User Rewards and Benefits

The `assign_reward` tool lets you recognize an employee for hitting their health goals right in your conversation. Fire off the command to allocate a manual recognition bonus to a specific team member. Claude confirms the transaction immediately. You get full visibility into what perks your staff actually uses. Running `list_benefits` pulls accessible benefits, and `get_user_rewards` shows exactly what a person earned. This MCP Server turns a clunky administrative chore into a quick chat command.
