Claude MCP

Connect Claude to Bueggio HR

Ask who's off, check balances and book time off from claude.ai, Claude Desktop or Claude Code. Two clicks, no API keys — here's how, step by step.

The only thing you need to know

https://www.bueggiohr.eu/mcp

Paste this address as a custom connector and sign in with your Bueggio HR account. No API keys, nothing to install.

Before you start

  • ✓ A Bueggio HR account — any role works: employee, manager or admin. Claude will act with your permissions.
  • ✓ On claude.ai and Claude Desktop, custom connectors require a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise). Claude Code has no such requirement.
  • ✓ If your company enforces two-factor authentication, enable it on your profile first — the connection uses the same security rules as the app.

From claude.ai (web)

  1. 1

    Open the connector settings

    Click your initials in the bottom-left corner → Settings → Connectors, or go straight to claude.ai/settings/connectors.

  2. 2

    Add the custom connector

    At the bottom of the list, click Add custom connector. Name it Bueggio HR and paste https://www.bueggiohr.eu/mcp as the URL. Leave any advanced OAuth fields empty — registration is automatic. Confirm with Add.

  3. 3

    Connect your account

    The connector now appears in your list. Click Connect: a Bueggio HR window opens.

  4. 4

    Sign in and authorize

    Sign in if you don't have an active session (same credentials as always, or Google/Microsoft). The consent screen tells you exactly what Claude will be able to do. Click Authorize — the window closes by itself and the connector shows as connected.

  5. 5

    Try it in a chat

    Open a new conversation. If needed, enable Bueggio HR from the search & tools icon next to the message box. Then just ask — Claude will confirm with you before each first action.

Things to ask, to get started: “Who's off this week?” · “How many vacation days do I have left?” · “Book me two days off on August 3rd and 4th.”

From Claude Desktop

Same path: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then Connect and authorize in the browser. Connectors are shared with your Claude account — if you already added Bueggio HR on claude.ai, it's already in the list.

From Claude Code (terminal)

claude mcp add --transport http bueggio-hr https://www.bueggiohr.eu/mcp

Then start claude, type /mcp, select bueggio-hr and choose Authenticate: your browser opens on the same sign-in and consent flow.

What Claude can do — and what it can't

Once connected, Claude can check who's away, look up leave balances, simulate the cost of a booking, and book time off. If you're an approver, it can also approve or decline pending requests — always asking you first.

The connection acts as you, with your role: an employee sees their own balance and books only for themselves; managers and admins can do what they can do in the app. Every action lands in the audit trail under your name, and every booking goes through your company's normal approval flow — Claude never approves its own bookings.

Security and privacy

  • ✓ Standard OAuth 2.1: you authorize on our page, your password is never shared with Claude.
  • ✓ Access tokens are stored only as cryptographic hashes and expire automatically.
  • ✓ Disconnect anytime from Claude's connector settings; administrators can also revoke any connected assistant in Settings → Integrations.
  • ✓ Details in our privacy policy and DPA.

Frequently asked

I don't see “Add custom connector”

Custom connectors require a paid Claude plan. On Team and Enterprise plans they may be managed by your Claude workspace owner.

After signing in I land on my dashboard instead of the consent screen

Your company requires two-factor authentication and your account doesn't have it enabled yet. Enable it from your profile, then start the connection again from Claude.

Claude says it can't see a colleague's balance or approve a request

That's by design: the connection has exactly your permissions. Reading other people's balances and deciding requests are for managers and admins.

It worked, now Claude says it's unauthorized

The connection was revoked — by an administrator or from Claude's settings. Just click Connect again. Tokens renew themselves, so simple time passing never breaks the link.

Can we automate without a personal account?

Yes — administrators can create organization API keys in Settings → Integrations for scripts, n8n and other MCP clients. See the API reference.
