What you can do with this MCP connector
Bonusly MCP Server connects your employee recognition system right to your AI client. You manage team culture and rewards without ever leaving your chat. You'll give points, check leaderboards, and see company values—all from a natural chat conversation. You don't gotta jump into the Bonusly website to recognize great work.
Issue Recognition Bonuses
Send points to an employee by calling give_bonus, where you specify the recipient, the point amount, and the reason for the reward. You can track what's been given out by calling list_bonuses, which lists all recent bonuses given out in the company. You can also see what company values are recognized by calling list_company_values, and you can check popular company hashtags for recognition purposes using list_hashtags.
Review Team Recognition Activity
You can review recent bonus activity by calling list_bonuses or get the specific details for one recognition using get_bonus. To gauge team performance and company alignment, you can look at the real-time leaderboard by calling get_leaderboard, and you can see which company values are recognized by calling list_company_values.
Check Point Balances and History
To check your own point balance and transaction history, use get_my_profile. You can also look up profile details for any employee using get_user and you can list all employees in the system with list_users.
Track Point Spending
To see how team members are spending their earned points, call list_redemptions, which lists recent instances where employees have spent their points.
How It Works
You subscribe to this server on Vinkius and input your Bonusly API Access Token. Your AI client sees the available tools, and you just talk to your agent. You'll say something like, 'Give 20 points to Jane for the presentation.' Your agent calls give_bonus and posts the recognition.
How Bonusly MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the Bonusly server and provide your API Access Token.
- 2 Your AI client receives the tool definitions (e.g.,
give_bonus,get_leaderboard). - 3 You prompt your agent using natural language (e.g., 'Reward Mark for the Q3 launch'). The agent executes the necessary tool call.
The bottom line is, you manage your entire team's recognition program through simple chat prompts, without ever touching the Bonusly dashboard.
Who Is Bonusly MCP For?
Team Leads who get tired of switching between chat and the HR dashboard to give recognition. HR Managers who need to track engagement and company values without running complex reports. Employees who just want to quickly check their points balance or give a shout-out.
Uses the agent to instantly give points to a direct report for specific achievements, citing the company value hashtag in the chat.
Checks the list_company_values tool and the get_leaderboard tool to monitor overall employee engagement and company value adoption.
Asks the agent, 'What's my current bonusly balance?' to check their points or gives a peer a quick point reward.
What Changes When You Connect
- Give points instantly. The
give_bonustool lets you reward a colleague in chat—no need to open the Bonusly web app. You just specify the person, points, and reason. - See who's winning. The
get_leaderboardtool shows the current top performers. You track team recognition without logging into a separate analytics dashboard. - Check balances and history. Use
get_my_profileto see your points balance and transaction history right from your agent. It's immediate, and it's simple. - Understand the culture. The
list_company_valuestool lists the core values and popular hashtags. This helps you frame your recognition properly, making sure you hit the right company talking points. - Audit rewards easily. Running
list_bonuseslets you see a list of recent recognition. You get an immediate summary of who gave what and why. - Monitor spending. The
list_redemptionstool tracks point redemptions, showing how your team is actually using the rewards they earned.
Real-World Use Cases
A team lead needs to reward a specific effort.
The lead sees Jane finished a tough project milestone. Instead of sending an email and logging into Bonusly, they prompt their agent: 'Give 50 points to Jane for nailing the backend integration #perseverance.' The agent uses give_bonus and posts the recognition immediately.
HR needs to check overall team morale.
The HR manager wants to know if the team is recognizing the right behaviors. They ask the agent to run get_leaderboard and review list_company_values. The agent returns a structured report showing who's leading and which values are most visible right now.
An employee needs to check their standing.
An employee is curious about their point balance. They ask the agent, 'What is my current Bonusly balance?' The agent calls get_my_profile and returns a clear summary of their available and redeemed points.
A manager needs to audit recent giving.
A manager wants to see the last week's recognition activity. They ask the agent to run list_bonuses. The agent compiles a list of recent bonuses, including who gave points and why, allowing the manager to confirm the scope of the recognition.
The Tradeoffs
Manual Web App Switching
The manager has to open the Bonusly site, navigate to the 'Give Bonus' page, search for the user, input the points, and write the reason. This takes 3-4 clicks and context switching.
→
Just prompt your agent: 'Give 25 points to John for fixing the critical bug #excellence.' The agent uses give_bonus and handles the rest. It's one chat message.
Guessing the right tool/endpoint
Trying to combine user list retrieval and point balance check into one custom API call, which fails because the system expects separate actions.
→
Break it down. First, use list_users to confirm the employee's ID. Then, ask the agent to run get_user to confirm their current profile details. This keeps the calls clean and functional.
Forgetting the context (Who am I?)
Trying to check your point balance without first making the agent call your profile tool, leading to an incomplete or blank response.
→
Always start by asking the agent to run get_my_profile. It establishes your identity and provides your current point balance right away.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if your primary job is communicating recognition or tracking team morale. You need to quickly award points, check who's leading, or audit recent activity from a chat window. Don't use this if you need to run complex financial reports or manage user roles outside of the Bonusly system. For detailed, cross-departmental reporting, you still need dedicated BI tools; the Bonusly MCP Server focuses on real-time, conversational recognition events only.

Available Capabilities
Tracking company culture and rewards used to be a multi-tab nightmare.
Today, giving out a bonus requires jumping through hoops. You open the Bonusly portal, search for the colleague's profile, find the 'Give Bonus' button, select the points, type the reason, and hit send. Then, if you want to check the leaderboard, you have to navigate away to a different tab and wait for the data to load.
With the Bonusly MCP Server, it's a single prompt. You ask your agent, 'Reward Mark for the Q3 launch #teamwork.' The agent handles the whole workflow, executing `give_bonus` and posting the recognition—all from your chat.
Bonusly MCP Server: Manage rewards and points instantly.
You no longer have to manually list out who gave points or check point redemptions. Your agent runs `list_bonuses` and `list_redemptions` automatically when you ask, giving you a real-time, compiled summary of the activity.
The system pulls the data and presents it cleanly. It's instant, context-aware, and eliminates the need to copy-paste data between multiple dashboards.
Common Questions About Bonusly MCP
How do I use the give_bonus tool to reward someone? +
You just ask your agent to give the bonus. You need to specify the recipient, the points, and the reason. Example: 'Give 20 points to Sarah for the great presentation #teamwork.' The agent handles the rest.
Can I check my own point balance using get_my_profile? +
Yes. Asking the agent to check your profile runs get_my_profile. It gives you a clear summary of your current available and redeemed points.
What is the difference between list_bonuses and get_bonus? +
list_bonuses shows a list of many recent bonuses in the company. get_bonus retrieves the detailed information for one specific, known recognition event.
How do I find out what hashtags are popular for giving bonuses? +
Use the list_hashtags tool. It pulls a list of popular company hashtags, so you can make sure your recognition aligns with company culture.
Do I need to use list_users before giving a bonus? +
No. You only need to provide the recipient's identifier (email or name) in the prompt. The agent handles the lookup using give_bonus.
How do I use list_redemptions to see how my team is spending points? +
The list_redemptions tool shows recent redemptions. You can see exactly when points were spent and what those points bought, helping you track overall team spending habits.
What information does get_user provide when I use it? +
The get_user tool provides detailed profile information for any employee. This includes more than just their name and point balance, letting you verify who you're giving bonuses to.
Is there a tool to see all the company's values and hashtags together? +
No single tool combines them, but you can run list_company_values and list_hashtags separately. This lets you combine the data to ensure your recognition aligns with both company values and popular trends.
Can I give a bonus to a colleague using the agent? +
Yes! Use the give_bonus tool with the recipient's email, the amount of points, and a reason including hashtags like #teamwork. Your agent will post the recognition to Bonusly instantly.
How do I check my current point balance? +
Simply ask the agent to get_my_profile. It will retrieve your personal Bonusly profile, showing your available giving and receiving point balances.
Can I see who the top recognized employees are? +
