MCP server for Talenta — read employee, attendance, leave, payroll and recruitment data. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Talenta connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For HR teams with company-authorized Talenta API access and scoped HMAC credentials.
List employees joining during the requested period and review their employment details and departments.
Review attendance for a selected day alongside time off requests for the relevant period.
Read the requested payroll report when company policy and the application scopes permit sharing it with your AI client. This does not calculate, approve or pay salaries.
List open jobs and candidates, then inspect a selected application and the available hiring stages.
The login page asks for your Client ID (HMAC username), Client secret and Environment.
In the Mekari Developer Center open the Talenta product, create an application and copy its Client ID and Client Secret (the company owner must request API access first: see the Talenta HMAC guide). When you create the application, tick the permission scopes of the data you want to use, including Get All Employee v3, which this login checks. Use a dedicated application with only the needed scopes; Payroll access can be unchecked and Talenta also offers field masking. Requested employee, payroll, bank, tax, family and recruitment data passes to your chosen AI client and its LLM provider; connect only where your company policy permits this disclosure. These tools only read data. Revoke or delete the HMAC application in Mekari Developer Center to stop access. Billing follows the verified company and environment; rotating credentials keeps that identity.
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": {
"talenta": {
"url": "https://talenta.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"talenta": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://talenta.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 Client ID (HMAC username), Client secret and Environment. 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 company and environment | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per company and environment | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Talenta server only. Ask your AI to run talenta_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 talenta_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 talenta_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 Talenta. The server calls the Talenta API with your own Talenta 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 Client ID (HMAC username), Client secret and Environment. 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 Client ID (HMAC username), Client secret and Environment. 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 Talenta 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 Talenta.
All 30 Talenta tools are marked read-only.
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 Talenta server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run talenta_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run talenta_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 talenta_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 talenta_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.
