Personio HR + ChatGPT

Access employee records, attendances, absences, and time-offs via the Personio REST API. Personio is the dominant HR platform for DACH SMBs.

Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

PERSONIO_TOKEN

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

Authentication model — IMPORTANT: Personio's /auth endpoint is not a standard OAuth2 flow. You POST {client_id, client_secret} once and get back a short-lived bearer token, which is then passed as Authorization: Bearer <token> on every request. Each successful API response ALSO returns a new token in its Authorization response header that must be used for the next call — effectively a token-rotation scheme. This adapter uses a single long-lived bearer token supplied by you (PERSONIO_TOKEN).

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter

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

Paso 3 — Añadir el conector en ChatGPT

ChatGPT soporta servidores MCP a través de la función Connectors (planes Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise). El plan gratuito no admite conectores personalizados.

  1. Abre ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (o pulsa el icono 🔧 en el composer → Manage connectors).
  2. Pulsa "Add custom connector".
  3. Rellena:
    • Name: Personio HR
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → pega tu MCP API key (de AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Pulsa Connect para autorizar.
