Tools for your AI Agents to operate Homebase
Ask your AI agent "List all business locations and find the UUID for 'Downtown Cafe'." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Homebase data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.

Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions about the Homebase MCP Server
How do I obtain my Homebase API Key?
Log in to Homebase as an Owner, ensure you are on the 'All in One' plan, navigate to Settings > API Access, and click Request API Key. Your key will typically be approved within one business day.
Is the Homebase API read-only?
Yes, as of current documentation, the Homebase public API provides read-only access to locations, employees, timecards, and schedules. Writing data (like creating shifts) must be done through the web dashboard or official POS/Payroll integrations.
How can I see who is currently working?
Use the get_active_clock_ins tool with your location UUID. It filters current timecards to show only employees who have clocked in but not yet clocked out for the day.
Is the integration secure for managing employee data?
Absolutely. The integration uses official Homebase Bearer tokens over HTTPS. Your credentials and sensitive employee information are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
