Tools for your AI Agents to operate SmartHR
Ask your AI agent "Fetch the entire roster and list the top 3 job positions that occur most frequently." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 8 tools connected to real SmartHR 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.

Frequently asked questions about the SmartHR MCP Server
Is it safe to expose my company's payrolls to the AI?
Yes. This connector runs entirely on your local machine or trusted enclave natively. No employee data, payload information or generated queries are routed to our servers—your API interactions occur directly from your environment straight to SmartHR's endpoints.
Can the agent calculate average payroll over time automatically?
Absolutely. Just prompt your agent: 'List all payrolls from Q2, and display the average distribution'. The agent will call the list_payrolls endpoint, retrieve the raw figures, do the mathematical operation independently in context, and present you a very clear table or markdown summary.
How do I look up which internal department an employee works for?
You don't need to specify the exact tool. You can simply ask: 'What department is crew member [Name] in?'. Your AI will automatically use the list_crews tool and cross reference the results with list_departments to formulate a correct response.
