Map Teams and Run Directories inside Claude Desktop

This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop call `list_employees` and `list_organizational_groups` to pull your exact team structures straight into your local chat window. You do not have to bounce between HR dashboards when you are trying to figure out who reports to whom. The desktop client reads the active directory state and maps out the reporting lines right where you are working. If you need to find a specific person fast, your agent runs `search_employees_by_name` or grabs their full profile details using `get_employee_details`. It keeps your local context clean because you get raw data blocks instead of loading heavy web apps.

Track Active Engagement Surveys in Your Chat

Your agent calls `list_engagement_surveys` and `get_survey_details` to inspect live feedback cycles without leaving the Claude Desktop app. You see participant counts and active timelines directly in your conversation history. When you need to slice the feedback, the server calls `list_demographic_fields` to show you exactly how the data is grouped. You get the raw parameters for your segments so you can draft internal communications based on real numbers.

Automate Employee Onboarding Actions

This MCP toolset triggers `create_employee_record` directly from Claude Desktop to register new hires into your directory. It takes the user profile data you paste into the chat and writes it directly to your account. Your agent checks the account scope using `list_cultureamp_accounts` to make sure the record lands in the correct organizational division. It bypasses manual data entry forms entirely.
