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.
The HR data mess starts with dozens of tabs open.
Today, pulling together one simple report—say, who is away and what their department head is—means logging into three different systems. You pull the employee list from System A; you check leave dates on System B; then you manually find the manager's details in System C. It’s tedious clicking, cross-referencing IDs, and copy-pasting.
With this MCP connection, your agent pulls it all together. You ask a natural language question—like 'Who is out next week?'—and it executes `get_who_is_away` while simultaneously pulling the department structure via `list_departments`. You get one clean answer.
Get employee data and leave status with BrioHR.
You eliminate the need to manually check individual records. Instead of running through a list, you let your agent use `get_employee_details` for specific profiles or run `list_leave_requests` across a team. This cuts out hours of manual data gathering.
It's simple: the MCP acts as the central brain that speaks to all those systems at once. It means you stop looking up data and start making decisions.
What your AI can actually do with this
This connection lets your AI agent handle most routine HR data requests. Instead of navigating through separate systems—one for time-off, another for payroll claims, and yet another for job openings—you ask your agent a single question. It gathers all the necessary information automatically.
You can get detailed records on specific employees or pull reports across entire departments. The system handles everything from listing active job postings to monitoring who is away during specific date ranges. This central access means you don't waste time stitching together data from multiple sources. Because Vinkius hosts this catalog, your agent connects once and gains instant access to all of BrioHR's capabilities for your whole team.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that you give your agent the keys, and it handles all the complex data retrieval behind the scenes.
Subscribe to this MCP and provide your BrioHR API Username, Password, and Company ID.
Connect the credentials into your AI client's configuration fields.
Your agent then uses natural language prompts to execute specific HR functions like checking leave status or pulling payroll data.
Who is this actually for?
HR Business Partners who spend hours manually compiling reports. Finance teams needing accurate payroll figures without cross-system logins. Operations Managers tracking department growth or recruitment status.
Quickly pulls employee data and monitors leave trends for departmental planning on a Tuesday afternoon.
Automates the extraction of approved claims reports, feeding them directly into accounting software for reconciliation.
Tracks department headcount and monitors active job postings to ensure staffing levels meet project demands.
What Changes When You Connect
Get a full headcount overview using list_employees and department structure via list_departments. You get the entire roster instantly without running multiple reports.
Automate time-off tracking. Instead of checking three separate calendars, use get_who_is_away to list everyone out for a specific date range in one query.
Streamline payroll prep work by using list_claim_reports. You retrieve approved claims directly, skipping manual data entry into accounting systems.
Keep your hiring pipeline clean. Check open roles with list_job_postings and track applicants through the funnel by running list_job_candidates for any given job ID.
Consolidate employee history. You can check both a person's current department using get_employee_details and their past performance records via list_performance_appraisals.
See it in action
The Quarterly Review Prep
An HR Manager needs to know who is due for a review next quarter. They ask the agent, which then cross-references list_performance_appraisals with get_employee_details to list all employees in specific departments that haven't updated their records recently.
Budgeting for Staffing Levels
The Operations Manager needs to know if they can hire three new people next month. They query the system, which uses list_job_postings to show current openings and combines that data with a count derived from get_employee_details for current department sizes.
Payroll Audit
A Finance Specialist needs to verify all approved claims before the payroll run. The agent executes list_claim_reports, ensuring every necessary document is retrieved and matched against a monthly summary from get_payroll_summary.
Annual Leave Planning
A manager plans an all-hands meeting in May. They ask the agent to run get_who_is_away for that month, immediately identifying key staff who will be out and requiring alternate coverage.
The honest tradeoffs
Checking everything manually
A user checks the employee portal for names, then logs into TimeOff to check dates, then goes to the Payroll system for claims. This takes 15 minutes and involves copy-pasting IDs.
Let your agent handle it. Use the MCP connection to query list_employees for a roster, run get_who_is_away for date ranges, and pull list_claim_reports all in one session.
Mixing up employee data
Trying to get the list of current workers from the recruitment module instead of the HR system.
For active employees, use list_employees. If you need people who might be hired, use list_job_candidates and list_job_postings.
Skipping performance context
Running a basic headcount count without knowing if those employees are high performers or under review.
First, run list_employees for the total count. Then, use get_employee_details and cross-reference with list_performance_appraisals to get context.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your query requires merging data from HR functions (payroll/leave) with operational data (recruitment/departments). Specifically, if you need a report that says 'Show me the payroll status for people who are currently away.' Don't use this if you only need to write an email about PTO. For simple tasks like drafting a memo or summarizing meeting notes, your agent is fine on its own. If you just need a list of departments and nothing else, list_departments handles that perfectly well without needing the full BrioHR context.
Questions you might have
How does `list_employees` differ from `get_employee_details`? +
list_employees downloads the main information for every single employee in a roster format. You use get_employee_details when you only need to see the full profile, roles, and department of one specific person.
Can I track active job postings using `list_job_postings`? +
Yes. list_job_postings pulls every open role currently listed in your recruitment module. This is distinct from viewing candidates, which requires the list_job_candidates tool.
Does BrioHR help with payroll summaries? +
Absolutely. You can use get_payroll_summary to retrieve a payroll overview for any specific month. This is critical for auditing and budgeting purposes.
What if I need leave status for multiple people? Should I use `list_leave_requests`? +
While you can run list_leave_requests for an individual, a better approach is to use get_who_is_away. This tool automatically checks the calendar for a group or date range.
What credentials do I need to successfully run `list_claim_reports`? +
You must provide your API Username, Password, and Company ID. Since this tool handles financial data, BrioHR requires you to first contact their support team for API access and IP whitelisting.
Can I limit the search when using `list_departments`? +
Yes, you can filter department listings by division or location. The MCP supports filtering parameters so your agent only retrieves relevant organizational structures for a specific business unit.
If my company has many applicants, what are the limits when running `list_job_candidates`? +
The tool handles up to 50 candidates per request batch. If you need more than that, your agent will automatically prompt for subsequent batches until all records have been retrieved.
What format does the data come in when I use `list_performance_appraisals`? +
The data arrives as a structured JSON object. Each appraisal includes key fields like reviewer name, date completed, overall rating, and detailed written feedback.
How do I get API access for BrioHR? +
You must reach out to the BrioHR support team at support@briohr.com. They will provide your credentials and require your IP addresses for whitelisting before you can connect.
Can my AI automatically list all active job postings? +
Yes! Use the list_job_postings tool. Your agent will retrieve all current vacancies from your BrioHR recruitment module, including titles and IDs.
How do I retrieve the payroll summary for a specific month? +
Use the get_payroll_summary tool with the month (MM) and year (YYYY). The agent will return the headcount and total calculations for that period.
