Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Read Homebase locations, employees, shifts, timecards, labor costs and time clock status.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

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

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 16 things (tools) homebase_get_company, homebase_list_locations, homebase_get_location, homebase_get_location_plan …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

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.

    The Homebase company this API key belongs to: name, owner (id, name, email, phone) and created/updated times. GET /company.

  • homebase_list_locations

    List the locations (stores or sites) of the account with uuid, name, address, phone, website and time zone. The uuid is the id every other Homebase tool needs. GET /locations.

  • homebase_get_location

    One location by uuid: name, address, phone, website, time zone and POS merchant id. GET /locations/{location_uuid}.

  • homebase_get_location_plan

    The Homebase subscription plan of a location: plan number, price, last update and trial state. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/plan.

  • homebase_list_employees

    List the employees of a location with contact details and their job: level, default role, additional roles, wage type and rate, payroll id and archive date. The time-clock PIN is never returned. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/employees.

  • homebase_get_employee

    One employee of a location by user id, with contact details and job (role, wage type and rate, payroll id). The id is the job's user id from homebase_list_employees. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/employees/{id}.

  • homebase_list_shifts

    List the scheduled shifts of a location in a date range: employee, role, department, start and end, published/open state, wage rate and scheduled labor hours (regular, overtime). Filter open shifts only. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/shifts.

  • homebase_get_shift

    One shift of a location by id, with its labor data and optional note. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/shifts/{id}.

  • homebase_list_deleted_shifts

    The ids of shifts deleted in a date range at a location, with their start, end and deletion time. Use it to keep a copy of the schedule in sync. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/shifts/deleted.

  • homebase_list_timecards

    List the timecards (worked time) of a location in a date range: employee, role, clock in and out, breaks, hours, labor cost, tips and approval state. Time-off hours are always 0 on timecards; use homebase_get_labor_by_employee for totals with time off. GET /locations/{location_uu

  • homebase_get_timecard

    One timecard of a location by id: clock in and out, breaks, labor hours and cost, tips, approval state. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/timecards/{id}.

  • homebase_list_deleted_timecards

    The ids of timecards deleted in a date range at a location, with clock in, clock out and deletion time. Use it to keep a copy of the timecards in sync. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/timecards/deleted.

  • homebase_get_labor

    Aggregate labor for a location in a date range, grouped by day or by hour: regular, overtime and paid hours, labor cost, tips, breaks and time off. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/labor.

  • homebase_get_labor_by_role

    Aggregate labor (hours, cost, tips, overtime) for a location in a date range, grouped by role. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/labor/by_role.

  • homebase_get_labor_by_employee

    Aggregate labor (hours, cost, wage rate, tips, overtime, time off) for a location in a date range, grouped by employee. Use it for payroll totals. GET /locations/{location_uuid}/labor/by_employee.

  • homebase_get_timeclock_status

    The current time-clock state of one job (employee at a location): clocked_in, on_break or clocked_out, the current shift, the shifts that can be clocked into and the breaks that can be started. The job id is the `job.id` of an employee from homebase_list_employees. GET /timeclock

Common questions

Is Homebase 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 (1.22.3) 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, dotnet-mcp

Homebase MCP by usefulapi

Use Homebase from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — locations, employees, shifts, timecards, labor reports and time clock status. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Homebase credentials.

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

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://homebase.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http homebase https://homebase.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": { "homebase": { "url": "https://homebase.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 Homebase credentials.
