Frequently asked questions
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.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
