What can I ask?
Turn on the Tamigo connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
- Which departments do we have in Tamigo, and what are their keys?
- Show planned vs worked hours per employee for last week.
- Who is absent next week and is it approved?
- List all employees with their roles and contract hours.
What you can do with Tamigo in Claude and ChatGPT
For managers of shops, restaurants and other shift-based teams who plan staff in Tamigo.
Compare planned and worked hours
The AI reads per employee and day the original rota, the planned rota and the worked hours for a date range. You can check payroll and spot differences.
See who is absent and if it is approved
The AI lists absences such as holiday, sickness and leave that overlap a date range, with employee, department and approved or rejected state.
List employees with roles and contract hours
The AI lists employees with roles per department and, in the detailed list, contract hours, wage type and absence balances.
Check departments and opening hours
The AI lists departments with their keys and reads the normal and special opening hours of each for a date range.
Register attendance or upload daily revenue
The AI registers check-in and check-out times on the timesheet for one or many employees, or imports daily revenue per department.
Changes dataHow do I connect Tamigo?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Application name and Application key.
A Tamigo administrator creates the key in Tamigo under Configuration → Web Services (API): enter a name, then choose Create Key. The key is tied to your company; the web-services API may need to be enabled in your Tamigo package. Your key is used only to call the Tamigo API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tamigo": {
"url": "https://tamigo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"tamigo": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://tamigo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other clients
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 Application name and Application key. 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.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Tamigo server only. Ask your AI to run tamigo_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 tamigo_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 tamigo_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

- List departments
tamigo_list_departmentsList all departments (shops, restaurants, units) of the company: DepartmentId (a GUID, used by other tools), DepartmentKey (the POS key set in Tamigo), Name, IsDefault and ParentDepartmentId. - List employees
tamigo_list_employeesList all employees of the company (basic): EmployeeId, Name, Email, IsPlanner, PosKey (the employee key used by the attendance tool) and DepartmentRoles. For contract, wage and absence-balance details use tamigo_list_employee_details. - List employee details
tamigo_list_employee_detailsDetailed employee records, 500 per page in alphabetical order: contact data, roles per department, home department, contract hours, wage type and history, absence balances, competencies, custom columns, notes and availability. Bank details and ID numbers are never returned. Large pages are returned in slices: pass the reply's next_page and next_offset to continue. - List shifts (original, planned, worked)
tamigo_list_shiftsPer employee and day, the original rota, the planned (current) rota and the worked (timesheet) hours for a date range, with department, employee POS key, email and wage number. Use it for payroll checks, hours worked vs planned and who worked when. Shift values are hours. - List absences
tamigo_list_absencesAll absences (holiday, sickness, leave) that overlap a date range: employee, department, absence type, start and end, and whether it is approved or rejected. - Get opening hours
tamigo_get_opening_hoursNormal and special opening hours per department for a date range.

- Register check-ins / check-outs
tamigo_register_attendanceWRITE: register check-in and check-out times in the Tamigo timesheet, for one or many employees (the same call a POS system makes). Each entry names a department key and an employee key (the POS keys set in Tamigo under Configuration -> Departments / POS Keys; they are shown by tamigo_list_departments and tamigo_list_employees) and EITHER a check_in_time OR a check_out_time, in chronological order per employee. A break is registered by giving the same activity_name (for example Lunch, SmallBreak) on its check-in and its check-out. Tamigo may round the times by the company's rules, and the reply echoes the times actually registered. This changes worked hours and wages: it is not undone by repeating it, so confirm the entries first. - Upload daily revenue
tamigo_upload_daily_revenueWRITE: import daily revenue per department into Tamigo (the same call a cash-register system makes), used for revenue-based planning and KPIs. Each row is a department key (the POS key set in Tamigo), a date and a revenue amount (a plain number with a dot as decimal separator). A date that already has revenue for that department may be overwritten by Tamigo, so confirm the rows first.
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
tamigo_usage_statusReport the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. - Request a missing feature
tamigo_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Tamigo tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. - Upgrade to Pro or Pro+
tamigo_upgradeGet a paid plan for Tamigo (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. - Cancel the Pro subscription
tamigo_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Tamigo Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run tamigo_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Tamigo in Claude or ChatGPT?
Compare planned and worked hours. See who is absent and if it is approved. List employees with roles and contract hours. Check departments and opening hours. Register attendance or upload daily revenue. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Tamigo product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tamigo. The server calls the Tamigo API with your own Tamigo access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Tamigo to Claude or ChatGPT?
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.
What do I need to connect?
The login page asks for your Application name and Application key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my Tamigo key or an Authorization header in the client config?
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 Application name and Application key. 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.
How do you keep my Tamigo credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Tamigo 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 Tamigo.
Can the AI change my Tamigo data?
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 8 Tamigo tools can create or change data. The other 6 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
What does it cost?
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 Tamigo server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run tamigo_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run tamigo_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 tamigo_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Tamigo tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with tamigo_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.
Which AI clients can I use?
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.
