Can I see my team's vacation balances through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_leave_balances` tool with a specific User ID. Your agent will retrieve the active leave balances representing vacation arrays globally, including different types of absences (e.g. Paid Leave, RTT) managed in Timmi.

How do I check the individual claims within an expense report?

The `list_expense_claims` tool allows your agent to extract absolute bounded individual claims for a specific Expense Report ID. You'll see precise dates, amounts, and native currency payloads for each item in the report.

Can my agent list all company departments defined in Lucca?

Absolutely. Use the `list_departments` tool to retrieve the strict hierarchical organizational units. Your agent will report the department names and their hierarchy, helping you understand the company's structural boundaries.

Lucca (HR & Finance Suite) + CrewAI FAQ

Common questions about integrating Lucca (HR & Finance Suite) MCP Server with CrewAI.

How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?

CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.

Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?

Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.

What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?

CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.

Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?

CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.

Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?

Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
