Use BambooHR well with AI

Confirms which BambooHR instance and whose permissions apply, picks the right tool for each question, and asks before any change is made in BambooHR.

Use it when

  • You just connected BambooHR and want to know what it can safely do
  • A headcount or time off answer looks smaller than expected
  • You want Claude to update a record or create a request in BambooHR

Tools it uses

  • get-employee
  • get-employee-table-data
  • get-employees-directory
  • get-fields-from-dataset-v1-2
  • get-data-from-dataset-v2
  • get-field-options-v1-2
  • get-applications
  • get-application-details
  • get-job-summaries
  • get-goals-filters-v1_2
  • get-goals-aggregate-v1_2
  • get-goal-aggregate
  • calculate-date
  • convert-remote-currency
  • create-time-off-request
  • create-goal
  • create-goal-comment
  • create-application-comment
  • delete-goal
  • delete-goal-comment
  • close-goal
Example

Before you pull anything, confirm which BambooHR account we're on and tell me whose permissions these results reflect.

We're on acme.bamboohr.com, and these results reflect your view as an HR admin. The directory returned 46 active employees. Time off balances for the Sales team are not in this view, since that field needs its own permission, so I've left them out rather than reporting zeros. Nothing has been changed yet.

Look up employees and directory questions in BambooHR with AI

Finds people, department headcounts and tenure from your BambooHR directory and employee records, and says plainly when permissions limit what is visible. Asks before switching accounts or changing any record.

Use it when

  • You need to know who works in a team or who to contact about a topic.
  • You want a headcount by department, location or status.
  • You need to check someone's tenure or role without digging through records.

Tools it uses

  • get-employee
  • get-employees-directory
  • get-employee-table-data
  • get-fields-from-dataset-v1-2
  • get-field-options-v1-2
  • get-bhr-global-worker
  • calculate-date
Example

How many people are in Customer Success, and who leads it?

There are 14 active people in Customer Success as of today, based on the employee table filtered to active status. Maya Okafor is listed as the Customer Success Manager, and the team reports into Daniel Reyes. Your access does not show compensation or contact details, so the count reflects what you can see and may be partial if your view is restricted.

Review BambooHR goals and follow-ups with AI

Summarises in-progress and past-due employee goals from BambooHR, sorted into a follow-up list. It asks before creating, commenting on or closing any goal.

Use it when

  • Checking which team goals are past due before a review cycle
  • Finding goals that have gone quiet and need a check-in
  • Getting a quick status count of open goals across a department

Tools it uses

  • get-goals-filters-v1_2
  • get-goals-aggregate-v1_2
  • get-goal-aggregate
  • get-alignable-goal-options
Example

Which goals in Engineering are past due, and who owns them?

Within what you can see, Engineering has 24 goals: 17 in progress and 7 past due. Four of the 7 have no update in over 60 days, so I put those first on the follow-up list. Two past-due goals have recent progress and probably just need a revised date. Want me to draft check-in comments for the four stalled ones? Nothing will be posted until you approve.

Check time off coverage in BambooHR

Works out who is out, which holidays shorten a requested absence, and whether the balance covers it. It drafts the time off request and asks before submitting anything.

Use it when

  • Before booking a vacation, to see who else is away that week
  • When someone asks whether a date range clashes with a team's leave
  • When you need the working-day count and remaining balance for a request

Tools it uses

  • calculate-date
  • get-employee-table-data
  • get-employee
  • create-time-off-request
Example

Can I take the last week of next month off? Check the holidays, who else is out, and whether I have enough vacation left.

That range is 4 working days after excluding one company holiday, and you have 9 days of Vacation, leaving 5 after booking. Two people on your team are already approved for the same days, so coverage is tight but workable. I have drafted the request and will submit it only when you confirm.

How BambooHR skills work

  1. Connect BambooHR

    The BambooHR MCP server gives the agent its tools.

  2. Ask in plain words

    “How many people are in Customer Success, and who leads it?” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.

  3. Approve any change

    The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install BambooHR skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect BambooHR. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the BambooHR MCP server connected there.

BambooHR skills FAQ

What is a BambooHR agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each BambooHR skill describes one job, which BambooHR tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the BambooHR skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 4 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in BambooHR.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect BambooHR; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the BambooHR MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the BambooHR MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The BambooHR MCP setup guide covers every client.
