Frequently asked questions
How do I obtain my Homebase API Key?
Log in to Homebase as an Owner, ensure you are on the 'All in One' plan, navigate to Settings > API Access, and click Request API Key. Your key will typically be approved within one business day.
Is the Homebase API read-only?
Yes, as of current documentation, the Homebase public API provides read-only access to locations, employees, timecards, and schedules. Writing data (like creating shifts) must be done through the web dashboard or official POS/Payroll integrations.
How can I see who is currently working?
Use the get_active_clock_ins tool with your location UUID. It filters current timecards to show only employees who have clocked in but not yet clocked out for the day.
Is the integration secure for managing employee data?
Absolutely. The integration uses official Homebase Bearer tokens over HTTPS. Your credentials and sensitive employee information are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
