HR MCP server
Your HR data in Claude and ChatGPT
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code to Skailer. Each person signs in as themselves, and the client gets their permissions and no more.
HR data shouldn't reach AI as a pasted export
Someone exports a table and pastes it into the chat. By tomorrow it's stale, and it shows the whole table. An admin API key gives the AI client everyone's data.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code in minutes
Add the Skailer server address in your client, sign in to Skailer in the browser and choose what the client may do. Claude Team and Enterprise owners add the connector once; each member connects their own account.
Ask about people, leave and goals without leaving chat
Once connected, the client reads the Skailer data you may see and answers with it: who is off in a release week, which goals are at risk, how a review cycle is going. Nobody exports a file first.
Request leave and approve requests from the chat
If you allowed changes when connecting, the client can make the same short list of changes SK.AI makes. Time off is checked first: balance, what's left and who approves. A request that breaks policy isn't created.
Give each connection one person's access
The connector has no company-wide key. Each person signs in from their client and gets exactly what their role opens. Reading is always on; changing data is a separate permission. Removing the connector ends access.
See every tool and whether it reads or writes
Reading works with the default permission; changes need the permission to create and update data. Recruiting, compensation, documents and settings aren't included.
| Area | Read | Write (needs permission) |
|---|---|---|
| People | Search, profile, find by email, get me | — |
| Things to do | Get my inbox | — |
| Goals | Search goals, get a goal | Goals, key results, check-ins |
| Time off | Balances, categories, calendars, request check | Create, cancel, approve, reject |
| Surveys | Search, results, answers, participants | — |
| Performance reviews | Search, results, stats, participant report | — |
| Recognition | Search recognitions | Give a recognition |
SK.AI, MCP or API: pick what fits the job
Inside Skailer, SK.AI answers from the side panel. In Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code, MCP does the same under the same permissions. Systems use the API and webhooks.
What is the Skailer HR MCP server?
The Skailer HR MCP server, also called the MCP connector, links AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code to Skailer. Each person signs in through the browser, and the client gets their permissions. It reads employees, goals, time off, surveys, reviews, Things to do and recognitions. If allowed, it updates goals, requests, cancels, approves or declines time off, and gives recognitions. It has no delete actions and no recruiting data.
Know what the client can see and change
The client works only with the data the signed-in person may see in Skailer, and changes data only if they allowed it. Choose the client and plan your company already approves for work data.
Three ways HR data gets into an AI chat
Pasted exports need no setup, but they show the whole file and go stale. Connectors on one integration key are live, and the key often sees more than any one user should.
| Capability | Exports pasted into chat | Integration-key connector | Skailer MCP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data freshness | As of the export | Live | Live |
| Who the client acts as | Whoever has the file | The key's account, often admin | The person who connected |
| Permissions | None after export | The key's scope | The person's role in Skailer |
| Changing data | Not possible | Whatever the key allows | Goals, own leave, approvals, if allowed |
| Read-only option | Not applicable | Depends on the key's scope | A choice on the access screen |
| Ending access | Delete every copy | Revoke the key for everyone | Remove the connector in the client |

Skailer MCP: common questions
What is MCP, and what does an HR MCP server do?
