What you can do with BambooHR + AI

- “How many time off days are left per team this year?”
- “Which job openings have the most applications still waiting on a decision?”

About the BambooHR MCP server
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard that lets AI assistants work with external tools and data. In short, the Peliqan BambooHR MCP server is a hosted, MCP-compliant endpoint that exposes your BambooHR data to AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Gemini. It covers 11 tables your AI can read and 6 actions it can take. As a result, you install nothing and maintain nothing on your side. Because Peliqan holds your BambooHR connector login rather than your AI, access stays governed and secure, and questions are answered from the synced copy in your Peliqan data warehouse.
