Full read-write Claude connector for 7shifts
Let Claude build schedules and approve time-off in 7shifts
Stop clicking through every cell to staff a week by hand. Claude drafts the schedule against staff availability, handles time-off requests, and keeps staff records current right inside 7shifts, with publishing waiting on your approval.
7shifts is a scheduling and team-management platform built for restaurants, covering shift schedules, time clocking, availability, and staff records. People want Claude to do more than read the schedule: to build shifts, approve time-off, and keep staff records current on their behalf.
What is a 7shifts MCP server?
A 7shifts MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes 7shifts's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can industry-specific platforms inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.
What can 7shifts's current connector do today?
Today, 7shifts does not publish an official Claude connector, and any read-only setup would let Claude view schedules and staff data without changing anything. A custom 7shifts connector adds scoped write actions such as creating shifts and approving time-off, with human-in-the-loop confirmation, so Claude works inside the schedule rather than beside it.
What does full read-write 7shifts access unlock?
Full read-write 7shifts access lets Claude draft a weekly schedule, assign shifts to available staff, approve or decline time-off requests, create calendar events for a company, and adjust open shifts once you approve. The schedule building that used to mean clicking through every cell happens where the roster already lives.
- Draft a weekly schedule and assign shifts based on staff availability
- Approve, decline, or update time-off requests
- Create or edit open shifts and publish them to a location
- Create a calendar event for a company or location
- Update a staff member's role, wage, or assigned department
- Find understaffed shifts across locations and propose coverage
Can Claude build a weekly schedule in 7shifts?
Yes, Claude can build a weekly schedule in 7shifts. With a read-write connector it drafts shifts against staff availability, assigns people to open slots, and queues the week for you to review. Publishing to a location is a separate, gated step, so the schedule only goes live once you approve it.
Can Claude approve time-off requests in 7shifts?
Claude can approve, decline, or update time-off requests in 7shifts. Each one is a scoped write action it prepares for you, so you decide which run automatically and which need a confirmation step. Claude never touches requests beyond what your own account permissions already allow.
Can Claude update staff records in 7shifts?
Claude can update a staff member's role, wage, or assigned department in 7shifts. Each change is a scoped, gated write action it prepares for you, so edits to staff records wait for your sign-off. Claude stays within the same permissions your own account already has.
How a 7shifts connector works
We build a small MCP server that connects to 7shifts through OAuth or a scoped API token with the narrowest access the work needs. Read tools (view schedules, staff, requests) and write tools (create shift, approve time-off, create event) are separated, and destructive actions like publishing a schedule require your confirmation. Claude only ever has the access your own 7shifts account already has, and we can add IP allowlisting where your setup supports it.
