Map your organization in Claude Desktop

The ChartHop MCP Server lets your AI client read your company directory and department structures instantly. You ask for a breakdown of the engineering org, and Claude pulls the exact roster using `list_organization_people` and `list_organization_departments`. No exporting CSVs or logging into a separate HR portal just to see who reports to whom. Digging into individual profiles happens just as fast. Running `get_person_details` grabs specific employee data like title, manager, and tenure. This turns Claude into a fast search engine for your entire company hierarchy.

Read headcount planning scenarios

Checking compensation plans or future headcount changes requires accurate context. Your AI agent reads active planning environments through `list_planning_scenarios` to show you proposed hires and budget shifts. You get the raw data without having to navigate through complex HR dashboards. Top-level metrics come through the `get_organization_summary` tool. Claude pulls total headcount, core settings, and structural overviews in seconds. Getting an accurate snapshot of the company size takes one simple prompt.

Query job roles and team layouts

Finding open reqs or mapping current roles is a standard task for this MCP Server. Calling `list_organization_jobs` dumps all existing roles across the company, while `list_organization_teams` groups them by operational units. You skip the manual sorting and let the AI build the exact view you need. Specific role requirements are easy to check. The `get_job_details` tool fetches the exact parameters of any position. Claude can then draft job descriptions or compare current roles based on real data from your ChartHop instance.

Common questions about ChartHop MCP in Claude Desktop

You add the Vinkius endpoint URL to your Claude integrations settings. The web version accepts remote MCP URLs directly, while the desktop app uses the `claude_desktop_config.json` file.

No, this connection only reads data. Tools like `get_person_details` and `list_organization_people` pull information into your chat, but they cannot modify your HR database.

Your agent reads departments, teams, jobs, people, and planning scenarios. It uses specific tools to fetch lists or detailed profiles based on your prompts.

You only need the Vinkius endpoint token to connect the MCP Server. Data access depends entirely on the permissions tied to the API key used during your initial Vinkius setup.

Employee profiles, compensation plans, and headcount scenarios stay protected. Vinkius runs the MCP Server in an ephemeral V8 Isolate sandbox that shuts down immediately after returning data to Claude, leaving zero trace.
