Claude Code MCP for leave, time and HR

Add SquadBear to Claude Code with one terminal command. Authenticate once, then book leave, log time and run HR from the CLI.

Claude Code talks to the same SquadBear MCP server as Claude on the web. One command in the terminal. Authenticate once. Then ask.

One command

claude mcp add --transport http squadbear plus the MCP URL. That is the in-app snippet.

OAuth in the browser

From Claude Code, /mcp → squadbear → Authenticate. You pick scopes on SquadBear's consent screen.

Acts as you

Same role, same modules, same audit log as a click in the app.

Same catalog as Claude

The full /mcp catalog, including specialist presets. Not the ChatGPT subset.

How to connect Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http squadbear https://app.squadbear.com/mcp

Start claude, run /mcp, select squadbear, and choose Authenticate. The browser opens the SquadBear consent screen.
Pick scopes and approve. Everyday work covers leave, approvals, directory, time, attendance and assigned tasks.
Call get_context. If it returns your identity and workspace, the connection resolved to you.

The in-app AI agents page prints the same command with your origin substituted (staging or localhost included).

An agent can also set itself up from squadbear.com/agent-setup/prompt.md.

What you can ask

Leave balances and requests, coverage, timesheets, attendance punches, health checks, processes, reports - whatever your role and scopes allow. Sensitive writes (policy, erasure, workspace settings, process starts) wait for you in SquadBear.

Which assistant, which URL

Assistant	Endpoint	How you add it
Claude	`/mcp`	claude.ai or Desktop. Add to Claude prefills the connector. A free account can add one.
Claude Code	`/mcp`	One terminal command, then /mcp Authenticate.
ChatGPT	`/mcp/chatgpt`	Curated catalog. Plus, Pro, Team or Enterprise.
Grok	`/mcp`	grok.com connectors, or grok mcp add in Grok Build.
Gemini CLI	`/mcp`	gemini mcp add, then /mcp auth.
Cursor	`/mcp`	Add to Cursor on the MCP page, or an HTTP server in Cursor settings.
Codex	`/mcp`	~/.codex/config.toml, then codex mcp login.

A token minted for /mcp is rejected on /mcp/chatgpt, and the reverse. Same permissions and audit trail either way.

Frequently asked questions

Is Claude Code different from Claude on the web?

Same SquadBear endpoint (https://app.squadbear.com/mcp) and the same permissions. Claude Code is the terminal client: one command to register, then /mcp to authenticate. claude.ai uses Settings → Connectors instead.

What is the exact command?

claude mcp add --transport http squadbear https://app.squadbear.com/mcp. That string is what the AI agents page shows in the app.

Can Claude Code change a leave policy?

The first call stores a 30-minute proposal. You approve it in SquadBear while signed in. The MCP token cannot approve leave policy and entitlement changes, workspace settings, role changes, admin invites, erasure or process starts.

Does it use the ChatGPT URL?

No. Claude Code uses /mcp, like Claude, Grok, Gemini, Cursor and Codex. ChatGPT uses /mcp/chatgpt.
