BambooHR + ChatGPT

Manage BambooHR (employees, time-off, custom reports, fields, files) from any AI agent. 9 tools, basic-auth.

Voraussetzungen

Die vollständige Setup-Anleitung ist in den Connector eingebaut (im Store sichtbar, wenn du den Connector auswählst). Benötigte Umgebungsvariablen für diesen Connector:

BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN, BAMBOOHR_API_KEY

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the BambooHR REST API v1 (per-subdomain — api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/<subdomain>/v1).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to your BambooHR portal → top-right avatar → API Keys → Add a new key.
  2. Note your subdomain (the part before .bamboohr.com) and copy the key.
  3. Set BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN and BAMBOOHR_API_KEY.

Authentication: HTTP Basic — API key as username, literal x as password.

Path subdomain: BambooHR's API embeds the subdomain in the URL path. The adapter substitutes via runtime envVar.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Schritt 3 — Connector in ChatGPT hinzufügen

ChatGPT unterstützt MCP-Server über die Connectors-Funktion (Plus-/Pro-/Team-/Enterprise-Pläne). Der kostenlose Tarif unterstützt keine eigenen Connectors.

  1. Öffne ChatGPT → Einstellungen → Connectors (oder klicke das 🔧-Icon im Composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Klicke "Add custom connector".
  3. Trage ein:
    • Name: BambooHR
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer Token → MCP-API-Key einfügen (aus AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Klicke Connect zum Autorisieren.
