Review employees, payroll and leave, and approve or reject Talenox leave applications. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Talenox connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For teams managing employee records, leave and payroll in Talenox.
List leave applications overlapping the selected dates, optionally narrowed by employee, approver or status, and inspect an application in detail.
Look up an employee and read their leave balances for a selected date and leave type before planning time off.
List a month’s payroll runs and inspect a selected run’s draft or processed state and export status. This does not process or publish payroll.
Read the application first, then approve it when the user confirms, using the approver’s token. Approval can affect balances and payroll and may notify the employee.
Changes dataPersonal data: This server can return employee and payroll information. Employee lookups hide sensitive identifiers by default; the employee tool can include them when explicitly requested. Connect only a token with access to information you intend to use with your AI client. See Terms, Health data.
The login page asks for your Talenox API token.
Create a token in Talenox (app.talenox.com) under the top right menu → API Settings. The token acts as the user who created it. To approve leave, use the leave approver’s API token. Usage and subscriptions belong to this API token; replacing it creates a separate connection identity. Your token is used only to call the Talenox API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.
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": {
"talenox": {
"url": "https://talenox.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"talenox": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://talenox.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 Talenox API token. 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 API token | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per API token | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Talenox server only. Ask your AI to run talenox_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 talenox_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 talenox_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 Talenox. The server calls the Talenox API with your own Talenox access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. This server can return employee and payroll information. Employee lookups hide sensitive identifiers by default; the employee tool can include them when explicitly requested. Connect only a token with access to information you intend to use with your AI client. See Terms, Health data.
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 Talenox API token. See Before you connect for where to find it.
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 Talenox API token. 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 Talenox 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 Talenox.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 28 Talenox tools can create or change data. The other 26 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 Talenox server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run talenox_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run talenox_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 talenox_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 talenox_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.
