Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
See rosters, timesheets, leave and staff in Deputy, and create shifts, leave and memos.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

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_whoamiReturn 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_locationsList 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_areasList 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_employeesSearch 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_employeeFetch one employee's details as a supervisor sees them — contact, locations, role and employment. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/employee/{id}.
deputy_list_shiftsSearch 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_shiftFetch one shift (Roster record) by id. Deputy: GET /api/v1/resource/Roster/{id}.
deputy_list_timesheetsSearch 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_timesheetFetch one timesheet's full details, including breaks and approval state. Deputy: GET /api/v1/supervise/timesheet/{id}/details.
deputy_list_leaveSearch 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_unavailabilityList 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_resourceRun 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_resourceReturn 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_shiftAdd 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_shiftChange 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_shiftsPublish 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_requestAdd 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_unavailabilityRecord 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_memoPost 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_timesheetCorrect 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_timesheetApprove 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.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.

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.
