PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • deputy_whoami

    Return the Deputy user the token belongs to — name, employee id, company and permissions. A cheap way to confirm DEPUTY_INSTALL and the token are right. Deputy: GET /api/v1/me.

  • deputy_list_locations

    List the install's locations (workplaces). Deputy calls a location a Company; its Id is what other tools take as location_id. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/Company.

  • deputy_list_areas

    List areas (Deputy OperationalUnits — the rosterable sections of a location, e.g. Kitchen, Front of house). Shifts and timesheets belong to an area. Optionally only one location's areas. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/OperationalUnit, or POST .../OperationalUnit/QUERY when filtered

  • deputy_list_employees

    Search employees by name, location or active status. Returns Id, DisplayName, Company (main location), Active, StartDate, Role and more. Deputy: POST /api/v1/resource/Employee/QUERY.

  • deputy_get_employee

    Fetch one employee's details as a supervisor sees them — contact, locations, role and employment. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/employee/{id}.

  • deputy_list_shifts

    Search the roster (scheduled shifts) by time window, employee, area, and published/open state. Each record has StartTime/EndTime (unix), StartTimeLocalized, Employee (0 or null when open), OperationalUnit (area), Published, Open, Cost and _DPMetaData with names. Deputy: POST /api

  • deputy_get_shift

    Fetch one shift (Roster record) by id. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/Roster/{id}.

  • deputy_list_timesheets

    Search timesheets (actual worked time) by time window, employee, area and approval state. Each record has StartTime/EndTime (unix; EndTime null while in progress), TotalTime (hours), Cost, TimeApproved, PayRuleApproved, IsInProgress, IsLeave, Roster (linked shift) and Exported. D

  • deputy_get_timesheet

    Fetch one timesheet's full details, including breaks and approval state. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/timesheet/{id}/details.

  • deputy_list_leave

    Search leave requests by employee, location, status and time window. Status: 0 awaiting approval, 1 approved, 2 declined, 3 cancelled, 4 date approved without pay, 5 pay approved without date. Start/End are unix; LeaveRule is the leave type id. Deputy: POST /api/v1/resource/Leave

  • deputy_get_employee_unavailability

    List the times one employee has marked themselves (or been marked) unavailable to work — check before rostering them. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/unavail/{employeeId}.

  • deputy_query_resource

    Run a Resource API search on any business object (leave types, pay rules, public holidays, memos, events, shift templates, pay lines, availability, sales data, …). `search` is Deputy's clause map, e.g. {"s1":{"field":"Employee","data":12,"type":"eq"}}; operators: eq ne gt lt ge l

  • deputy_describe_resource

    Return a Resource API object's field list, field types and joinable associations — what deputy_query_resource can filter, sort and join on. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/{Object}/INFO.

  • deputy_create_shift

    Add a shift to the roster, assigned to an employee or left open. Created as a DRAFT unless publish is true (publishing can notify the employee). Deputy returns an empty 200 on success — use deputy_list_shifts to find the new shift's id. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/roster.

  • deputy_update_shift

    Change an existing shift's times, area, employee, break or comment. Send the full intended shift (same fields as create) — Deputy's update is the add call with the shift id. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/roster with intRosterId.

  • deputy_publish_shifts

    Publish draft shifts so employees see them, choosing how they are notified: 1 SMS and email, 2 SMS, 3 email, 4 no notification, 5 confirmation required. Only the listed shift ids are published. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/roster/publish.

  • deputy_create_leave_request

    Add a leave request for an employee. By default it waits for manager approval (status 0); pass status 1 only when your system is the source of truth and the leave is already approved. Deputy tracks leave in hours, so give exact start and end times. Find leave type ids with deputy

  • deputy_add_unavailability

    Record a time an employee cannot work (one-off, or recurring with an RFC 5545-style rule such as FREQ WEEKLY, INTERVAL 1, BYDAY MO). Auto-scheduling then skips them. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/unavail.

  • deputy_create_memo

    Post a memo to a location's news feed, optionally requiring staff to confirm they read it, or targeted to specific locations or users. Visible to staff immediately. Deputy: PUT /api/v1/supervise/memo.

  • deputy_update_timesheet

    Correct an existing timesheet's start/end time, area, meal break or supervisor comment. Times cannot be in the future. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/timesheet/update.

  • deputy_approve_timesheet

    Approve one timesheet's times as a supervisor. Approved timesheets flow toward payroll export, so check it first with deputy_get_timesheet. Deputy: POST /api/v1/supervise/timesheet/approve.

Common questions

Is Deputy MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.35.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Symantec Cloud DLP AIops

Deputy MCP by usefulapi

Use Deputy from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — see rosters, timesheets, leave and staff, and create shifts, leave requests and memos. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Deputy credentials.

Live endpoint: https://deputy.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/deputy

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://deputy.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http deputy https://deputy.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "deputy": { "url": "https://deputy.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

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, and the login page asks for your Deputy credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/deputy/

On first connect you'll provide your Deputy install host (like acme.au.deputy.com) and a permanent access token (Deputy developer portal → OAuth Client → Get an Access Token). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
