Read employees, attendance, leave and payroll; create employee records and import device punches. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Jisr connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For HR and payroll teams with authorized Jisr Open API access.
Find employees by status or joining dates, then read an authorized employee profile. Profiles can include sensitive identity and contact information.
Review attendance summaries and annual leave balances for a selected period or group of employees.
Read payroll transactions for a confirmed pay period using a key with the required financial permissions. This does not send salary payments.
Create an employee record using lookup IDs. Jisr sends the employee an invitation email.
Changes dataSubmit genuine device punches for asynchronous processing, then inspect the attendance logs. Submission does not guarantee every punch was accepted.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Hosting region, Organization slug, Open API key and Open API secret.
In Jisr an administrator opens the Open API settings, creates a key, picks which APIs it may call (grant only what you need: payroll and financial data are separate permissions) and copies the key and secret (the secret is shown only once). The slug is the first part of your Jisr address (abcd for abcd.jisr.net). Choose Saudi cloud if your Jisr address ends in .jisr.net.sa. Use scoped credentials you authorize for this connection. Requested HR, attendance, payroll, bank/IBAN and identity records pass to your chosen AI client and its LLM provider; API credentials are not sent to the LLM. Choose only data you are authorized to process in that AI service. Tools can register employees (sending invitations) and submit device attendance punches, which may affect payroll. No salary payment or journal posting tools are exposed. Employee monthly payables requires vendor enablement. Revoke the API key in Jisr to stop access; already minted vendor sessions may remain valid until expiry.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"jisr": {
"url": "https://jisr.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"jisr": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://jisr.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Hosting region, Organization slug, Open API key and Open API secret. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper Jisr organization | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per Jisr organization | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Jisr server only. Ask your AI to run jisr_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with jisr_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with jisr_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Jisr. The server calls the Jisr API with your own Jisr access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Hosting region, Organization slug, Open API key and Open API secret. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Hosting region, Organization slug, Open API key and Open API secret. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Jisr API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Jisr.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 16 Jisr tools can create or change data. The other 14 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Jisr server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run jisr_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run jisr_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run jisr_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with jisr_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
