Inject live HR data into Cursor

Use `list_employees` and `get_employee_details` to feed real staff information into your codebase. You stop guessing employee IDs and start writing logic based on actual API responses. Your code gets better when it uses real data. Cursor handles the tool calls, so you focus on the logic.

Automate team and shift lookups

Call `list_company_teams` and `list_attendance_shifts` to build tools that understand your organizational structure. The agent reads these shifts to help you schedule tasks when people are actually working. This cuts out the manual sync. Your editor has the context of who is available right now.

Audit documents directly in Cursor

Run `list_employee_contracts` or `list_hr_documents` to verify compliance requirements without leaving your IDE. You can script audits that check your documents against your internal logic. Everything stays in the loop. You track your HR files as easily as you track your commit history.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
