Short answer

How can I track employee absences with my AI?

Your AI pulls current leave data from MyHR and can submit new absence requests for you. You get immediate access to team availability and a way to log time off without opening a browser. Here is how it works.

The outcomes

What you get

The AI handles the data movement so you can focus on scheduling.

DATA

Real-time leave updates

The AI pulls current absence records from MyHR. You see exactly who is out and when they return.

ACTION

Direct request submission

Your AI sends new absence requests to MyHR. It handles the data entry so you don't have to use the portal.

INFO

Leave balance checks

Ask your agent for specific details on remaining leave. It pulls the latest numbers from the system.

HUMAN

Managerial oversight

The AI submits the request, but it cannot approve leave for others. You still handle the final decision in MyHR.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about leave.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat and the MyHR database.

  1. Fetch records

    The AI looks up existing leave entries to give you an accurate picture of current absences.

    list_absences

  2. Prepare request

    When you tell the AI you need time off, it gathers the necessary details for a new entry.

    create_absence_request

  3. Submit request

    The AI pushes the completed absence request into the MyHR system.

    create_absence_request

  4. Verify status

    The AI checks the system to ensure the request was successfully logged.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI approve leave requests for my team?

    No. The AI can only submit requests. Approvals must be handled by a human in MyHR.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete existing leave records?

    No. The AI only has tools to list and create requests. It cannot delete or modify existing entries.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes. Any MCP-compatible client will work once you connect the MyHR MCP through Vinkius.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which employee is requesting leave?

    You specify the name or ID in your prompt, and the AI uses that information to build the request.

  • 05

    Will my MyHR password be shared with the AI?

    No. Vinkius manages the connection securely. Your AI client only interacts with the tools provided by the MCP.
