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.
papershift_get_accountThe Papershift account this API key belongs to (id and name). A quick way to check the connection. GET /accounts.
papershift_list_locationsList all locations (sites/companies inside the account) with id, name and status. Most other tools need a location id from here. GET /locations.
papershift_get_locationOne location by id. GET /locations?id=.
papershift_list_working_areasList working areas (departments/stations shifts are planned in), optionally for one location. Use the ids for shifts and time trackings. GET /working_areas.
papershift_list_usersList employees (users) with name, email, status, contract basics and their location, working-area and tag ids. Filter by location, working area or tag. 25 per page. GET /users.
papershift_get_userOne employee by id: contact data, status, locations, working areas, tags and profile fields. GET /users?id=.
papershift_list_tagsList the tags of a location (labels on shifts, time trackings and employees). GET /filters.
papershift_list_absence_typesList the absence types of a location (vacation, sick leave, ...) with id, title and rules. Use the ids to create absences. GET /absence_types.
papershift_list_absencesList absences (vacation, sick leave, ...) that fall between two dates, optionally for one employee or location. Shows type title, times, hours, vacation days and whether it is confirmed. 25 per page. GET /absences.
papershift_get_absenceOne absence by id, with its status, confirmation, hours and vacation days. GET /absences?id=.
papershift_list_vacation_entitlementsAn employee's vacation entitlements (planned days, spent days, expiry, carry-over) for the given period. Use it to answer 'how many vacation days does X have left'. 25 per page. GET /vacation_entitlements.
papershift_list_time_trackingsList worked-time entries (clock-ins) from a start date, optionally to an end date and for one employee. Shows start, end, break time, location, employee and whether confirmed. 25 per page. GET /working_sessions.
papershift_get_time_trackingOne worked-time entry by id, with its breaks, tags and break total. GET /working_sessions?id=.
papershift_list_evaluationsAn employee's daily evaluations: target, planned and actual hours, vacation and compensation per day. Use it for overtime and balance questions. 25 per page. GET /evaluations.
papershift_list_target_hoursAn employee's contractual target hours (weekly/monthly rhythm and hours per weekday) over time. 25 per page. GET /target_hours.
papershift_list_payrollsAn employee's payroll entries (paid hours, salary, bonus, time-account start/end per period). Sensitive pay data. 25 per page. GET /payrolls.
papershift_list_shiftsList planned shifts of a location between two dates, optionally for one working area or tags. Shows start, end, number of employees needed, note and visibility. Assigned employees: papershift_list_shift_assignments. 25 per page. GET /shifts.
papershift_get_shiftOne shift by id. GET /shifts?id=.
papershift_list_shift_assignmentsWho is assigned to a shift and who has applied for it (user id and name). GET /assignments?shift_id=.
papershift_list_availabilitiesThe times an employee has marked as available between two dates. 25 per page. GET /availabilities.
papershift_create_absenceWRITE: record an absence (vacation, sick leave, ...) for an employee. Get the absence type id from papershift_list_absence_types and the user id from papershift_list_users. Whether it counts immediately or waits for approval depends on the absence type and the account's approval
papershift_review_absenceWRITE: decide on an absence request. action 'confirm' approves it (it then counts against vacation days and the plan), 'reject' declines it, 'reset' puts a decided absence back to pending. The employee is typically notified of the decision. Find ids with papershift_list_absences.
papershift_create_time_trackingWRITE: add a worked-time entry for an employee after the fact (start, end and break minutes) in a location and working area. It changes the employee's recorded hours and balance. Ids from papershift_list_locations, papershift_list_working_areas and papershift_list_users. POST /wo
papershift_confirm_time_trackingWRITE: confirm (approve) a worked-time entry so it counts as final for payroll and balances. Find ids with papershift_list_time_trackings. PUT /working_sessions/confirm.
papershift_create_shiftWRITE: plan a new shift in a location and working area for a number of employees. Set visible to true only if employees should see it right away (default: left to the account's setting). Assign people afterwards with papershift_assign_user_to_shift. POST /shifts.
papershift_assign_user_to_shiftWRITE: put an employee on a shift (or, with application true, record them as having applied for it). The employee is typically notified of the assignment. An already assigned user is re-assigned. Returns the shift's assigned and applied users. POST /assignments.

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.
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.16.3) reached the registry yesterday.
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.
