Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This connection provides 10 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Tracking workforce status means clicking through three separate screens and downloading multiple PDFs.
Today, checking one employee's full history requires opening the HR dashboard, finding their profile card, navigating to time off, pulling a PDF of past leaves, then switching tabs to check their current projects. This process takes five clicks and three copies-pasted reports.
With this MCP, you just ask your agent: 'Give me Mike's status for next month.' The system handles the multi-step data gathering—checking `list_leaves` against `get_employee`—and spits out a single, consolidated answer. You get instant clarity.
The Armano MCP gives you total control over workforce data.
You eliminate the need for manual cross-referencing of time sheets and leave requests. No more juggling separate spreadsheets or emailing colleagues 'Can you confirm if this person is on leave?'.
The agent acts as your dedicated HR assistant, querying both `list_employees` and `list_leaves` simultaneously. It’s a unified command center for workforce data.
What your AI can actually do with this
This MCP lets you handle complex human resources tasks through simple chat commands. You can ask your agent to pull a complete directory of staff members or look up specific department affiliations. Need to audit who was clocked in when? Just ask for time tracking records, and the system pulls the metadata instantly.
It’s about getting accurate oversight on absence requests and monitoring employee profiles without logging into multiple internal portals. Since Vinkius hosts this MCP, your agent connects once and gets access to Armano's full HR data set, making it a single source of truth for workforce orchestration.
019dd0bc-0734-7288-98a2-f9af0ea0d4e7 Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is, you tell your agent what HR information you need, and it handles the complex communication with Armano.
Subscribe to this MCP and grab your API Key from the Armano dashboard's App Integrations section.
Connect your AI agent (like Claude or Cursor) using your Vinkius client.
Ask your agent a question. It translates that request into an API call and returns the structured HR data.
Who is this actually for?
Anyone who spends time checking status across multiple screens needs this. It's for the department lead tired of asking 'Where is that report?' and the developer who needs HR data without writing boilerplate connection code.
Manages the employee lifecycle by listing full workforce profiles, checking current attendance records, and overseeing all leave requests.
Tracks team availability in real-time. Uses the MCP to check for pending absences or confirm project assignments across staff members.
Writes scripts that need access to structured HR data, using the agent to query employee records and time entries programmatically.
What Changes When You Connect
Get instant oversight of employee status. Instead of navigating multiple tabs to check staff records, you can ask your agent to use list_employees and get a summary immediately.
Audit time logs easily. You don't need to manually pull reports for payroll; the system gets time entry details using get_time_entry, giving you accurate clock-in/out timestamps instantly.
Track absence without leaving your workspace. Use list_leaves to check pending requests and department availability, which cuts down on status update emails significantly.
Keep systems talking. You can use check_armano_status before running complex queries. This confirms the API connection is working, preventing failed tasks mid-workflow.
Handle project assignments efficiently. The MCP lets you look up both projects (list_projects) and staff details (get_employee), linking them together in one query.
See it in action
Preparing for Payroll
A payroll specialist needs to confirm total hours worked by everyone last month. Instead of downloading 50 individual time sheets, they ask their agent to run list_time_entries for the specified date range and get a consolidated list.
Staffing a Project
A department lead needs to know who is available next week. They check the team directory using list_employees, then cross-reference that data with pending absences by calling list_leaves for availability checks.
Onboarding a New Hire
An HR manager needs to confirm a new employee's profile details and department. They use the agent to call get_employee after entering the name, confirming all necessary data fields are populated before system access is granted.
Auditing Overtime
A manager suspects overtime issues. Instead of manually checking logs, they instruct their agent to query specific time entries using get_time_entry for a period and check the total hours reported.
The honest tradeoffs
Checking records one by one
The user has 50 employees to check on leave status. They log into the HRIS, click employee 1, read their leave tab, go back, click employee 2, repeat until they get a list.
You should use list_leaves directly through your agent. This function pulls all pending and approved requests for you in one query, saving hours of manual clicking.
Forgetting the API key
The user tries to run complex queries but gets a '401 Unauthorized' error because they didn't update their credentials.
Before running any large query, always call check_armano_status. This verifies your account connectivity first. It’s the fastest way to confirm you don't have an authentication issue.
Confusing project and department lists
The user tries to find out which departments are funding a specific project, but they manually cross-reference two separate list views.
Use list_departments to get the full list of departments, then use your agent to query both that data set and the results from get_project, linking them together in one chat turn.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your core need is transactional HR workflow management—checking status, logging time, or listing records. It’s ideal for automating the flow of data between systems. Don't use it if you are building a custom UI dashboard that needs to display relational graphs (like 'employees in department X who also work on project Y'). For complex visualization and deep data modeling, stick with dedicated analytics tools. If all you need is to view read-only documentation about an employee, the built-in Armano portal might be enough, but if you need data for a process, use get_employee.
Questions you might have
How do I find my Armano API Key? +
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > App Integrations, and copy your unique API Token from the credentials section.
Can I retrieve time entries via AI? +
Yes! The list_time_entries tool allows your agent to retrieve clock-in/out records for any specific period.
How do I list my active employees? +
Use the list_employees tool to retrieve your complete directory along with the unique identifiers for all registered staff members.
How do I use `list_time_entries` to filter records for a specific month? +
You must pass the date range in YYYY-MM-DD format. By providing start and end dates, you limit the results precisely, so your agent only pulls data from that period.
When should I use the `create_time_entry` tool? +
Use this tool when you need to log time manually or correct existing records. It writes new entries directly into your Armano system, acting as a submission form through your agent.
What specific information does `get_employee` provide about an individual's role? +
It retrieves core employee metadata, including their department affiliation and primary job title. This gives you enough context to verify if a person belongs in the correct team.
Does `list_leaves` help me check for overlapping time off requests? +
Yes. By listing all current absence records, your agent can compare dates and flag any overlaps automatically. This is essential for planning staffing coverage across the company.
What does `check_armano_status` tell me about my account connectivity? +
This tool verifies if the connection between your AI client and Armano is active. A successful call confirms that all API endpoints are reachable and ready for use.
