This is a middleware server based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), specifically designed to interface with the SmartHR human resources management system. It allows non-technical users to access and manage HR data such as employee information and organizational structure through standardized interfaces.

How to use the SmartHR MCP Server?

Simply perform simple environment configuration and API key settings, and you can access all HR data functions through client tools that support the MCP protocol, such as Claude.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for scenarios where SmartHR data needs to be integrated into other systems, such as employee self-service portals, data analysis platforms, or automated workflow systems.
