How do I get a Namely API Token?

You can generate a Personal Access Token in your Namely account under API > Personal Access Tokens. Ensure your user has the appropriate permissions to view the data you want to retrieve.

Can I see salary information through this server?

This depends on the permissions of the user who generated the API token. If your Namely user can see salary data, the `get_profile` and `list_jobs` tools will return that information.

What is the Company Slug?

The slug is the unique part of your Namely URL. For example, if you log in at 'acme.namely.com', your slug is 'acme'.
