What is the BambooHR MCP Server?

Orchestrate your human resources operations with BambooHR, the leading platform for small and medium businesses. By connecting BambooHR to your AI agent, you transform complex people management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search the employee directory, audit time off requests, identify who is out of the office today, and retrieve custom company reports without you ever navigating through dense HR menus. Whether you're a manager checking team availability or an HR admin updating records, your agent acts as a direct bridge to your people data, ensuring your organizational culture stays agile and informed.

What you can do

  • Employee Directory — Search and list active employees, retrieving basic contact details and profile information through natural language.
  • Time Off Management — Audit active time off requests, list employees currently out of the office, and submit new requests seamlessly.
  • HR Auditing — Retrieve specific company reports and list available time off types or policies for your organization.
  • Record Updates — Programmatically update basic employee information to ensure your HR records are always accurate.
  • Availability Insights — Quickly identify team members who are out for specific date ranges to optimize project planning.

  2. Enter your BambooHR Subdomain and API Key
  3. Start managing your human resources through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
