MCP support
Exposes CultureMonkey employee directory operations to MCP clients, including read and write tools. It is hosted at a remote MCP endpoint and uses OAuth sign-in to collect CultureMonkey credentials.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMECultureMonkey MCP by usefulapi
Use your CultureMonkey account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read, add, update and deactivate employees in your CultureMonkey directory. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://culturemonkey.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://culturemonkey.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http culturemonkey https://culturemonkey.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"culturemonkey": {
"url": "https://culturemonkey.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 CultureMonkey credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/culturemonkey/
On first connect you provide your CultureMonkey subdomain (the acme part of acme.culturemonkey.io) and a CultureMonkey API key (Settings → Integrations). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
